Wow! What an experience! Excellent writing! Well paced and well put together. Nice graphical touches enhance the writing. The world building is also very cool. I'd love to see more from this universe. Music is simple but effective. Great work!

I'm on a Dell e7440 laptop with Intel Integrated HD 4400 GPU and my drivers are up to date. The game only seems to ever take up about 30-40% of my GPU.

Also thanks for being so responsive! It's good to see your committed to this. I'm happy you're still working on it because I really love the gameplay. You differentiate from classic roguelikes in that the focus is entirely on alchemy (which I love)  but the core feeling of game knowledge and preparedness being your best assets is still there. Keep up the great work!

File is too big to post and I didn't feel like uploading to YouTube so I left you a screenshot. 

"Does this only happen with the horse, or when you enter the map by road (from areas that are away from the town) too?"

        -Yes, also when I go to map from other areas.

"I'm also interested to know what happens if you close the map"

        -The game continues to run as it should, except the screen stays frozen. I can still move around though and I hear the audio from my footsteps.

Funnily enough, since writing this, the game properly loaded the map once. It was on a new save and the only noticeable difference was that I rushed to the stables to take a screenshot, and so
1. the file is very new
2. I don't have anything in my inventory except the contract              3. This was on Love, but as I said I have tested on Love before and it didn't work so this is an isolated case.

On the same save, I have not since seen the map, after trying both from a new area and the horses again. It has frozen every time after that (at least for a minute or so before I gave up).
This was super useful for me though since now I know what the map looks like and how to navigate it. I will keep playing your game, I'm having a blast.

The first time it happened I waited over 30 minutes so it's not just a load time thing
Here's the screenshot

I have the exact same bug as goaty14. I have it both with the windows and .love version. Specifically, it seems like the screen itself freezes but I can still interact with the menu? or move? after I select the horse. I'm not sure what actually happens, but I know if I hit buttons (z and movement keys) until the music changes, then quit the game and reload, the game loads properly in a new area. I haven't figured out yet how to properly choose what area I want to go to yet as I still don't actually know what happens when I use the horse. I really like the concept of this game but this is a pretty difficult bug.
