I've been enjoying the game. Until I came to a point where my heart cried :(

Why did the mama squid die? When I went there and met the (now grown) babies, the sole girl was standing beside her gravestone. I love the pink hairpin detail, because I remembered it from one of the eggs. Small details like this are breath of fresh air. How they welcomed the hero even though their mama died. My heart, my soul...

And if I had not come upon one of the posts online that I could talk to the mama in the first place, I was going to miss all this beauty. I now know it was the right choice that I restarted the game then and talked to her instead of attacking.

I wrote it in GOG review but let's write it here as well. Assigning hotkeys for inventory items would be a great addition. 1 for hammer, 2 for axe, 3 for (equipping&unequipping) lantern, 4 for tent and so on.

I finished the game. It was a blast! It was a welcome surprise that you included every religious aspect as accurately as possible. This turned out to be one of those rare games that I'll carry on my mind for the rest of my days. Morrowind had such an effect on me. Thank you for making this game with such beauty, friend.

To those who are unable to find Brass and Onyx keys, they are gained from evil questlines (pirate quests and assisting Abanazzer in Jahiliyyah). And to those who want to have manual save points, just copy the contents of Save folder to your desktop (regularly) and store them in folders with different names and dates to remember where you were. Then if something goes bad, delete the game's save folder contents and just place the old files back from desktop to continue from that point. Cumbersome yes, but it helps to experience all the game has to offer.
