hi dragonnoiror thanks for sharing your feedback ^^
I'm sorry you had issues at the first chapter, I still needto balance the character level (a quick tip is to play around with the crafting potions which will give you some levels and new skills to get started)
there's a sandbox mode and zone which can be visited once you complete the game after defeating Lilith, no matter the ending you get. It's in the secret pond (first map north the campsite) at the north-east.
Once you unlock a foe for the first time, it will be available in the sandbox map, but also may open new special foes to deal with and open worship and trade cutscenes.
In next releases I'll look to make it easier to reach the gallery ^^ we are now working on new sidequests which will be eventually published here in your downloads section next months :D
