Those animals are SUPER dangerous. I kept getting killed over and over again. Eventually I just tried to avoid fights as much as possible but that's kind of hard since there are some narrow corridors that makes juking the animals very tough. Kind of reminded me of Fear and Hunger, and because of the difficulty I was unable to finish :(
I really like the art, atmosphere, and music though! I think if the fights were less dangerous or there was more room to avoid the enemies in the overworld it'd feel better. I wasn't sure if there was a way to heal at all, so if my HP was low I was good as dead. Again, this is just a difficulty scaling thing, but I think the core game itself was fun and fit the theme well!
