The micromanagement is a pain point but it’s also messed up by not having spells, items, or a town to retreat to. You basically have to just use Rest for recovering everything which is supposed to be a trade-off as it passes time which means more chances for random encounters. Juice is also greatly lacking, I do want the log to roll out with particles and SFX like how The Bard’s Tale Trilogy works.
I don’t know about that idea, creepypasta stuff like haunted screensavers doesn’t appeal to me, somebody else can do that. I do have a lot of ideas for small games that suit this format though.
