Your feedback is very helpful to me i´ve updated the demo to version 1.2 and added a tutorial in the notes inside Nora’s house. I hope it helps. Your idea is good, but it would take me more time to design something like that, though i´ll keep it in mind.
Also a quick tip if you feel enemies are hitting too hard, you can trade a soul with Merk to get a tunic, or defeat all the Arachnes to obtain something that helps a lot.
