I played for like an hour, and it was great. Some feedback:

1. the first part of the tutorial where you have to sneak past the guard was quite hard, almost made me stop but it seemed to work when taking a break in the shadows and running the last bit

2. pressing e should probably put you on pickup all by default instead of exit for convenience.

3. there should be some delay between eats, as everything is really strong you want to spam press eat but it eats all at once. Or maybe better option would be letting the highlighted item (1-4) be used by just pressing once.

4. the mouse sensitivity on windows seems to change randomly in the game, would be preferable if you could attack and examine with keys instead.

5. when setting the game scale to 2 it goes behind the task bar on windows, alt-enter shortcut for a borderless fullscreen would be nice, the one that doesn't force resolution change but goes borderless and just resizes window to monitor size. On opengl this causes some flickering at the monitor resolution but with software it doesn't (tried on sdl2). I believe this would make it cover the task bar. Without game scale at 2 the text is too small (I know it's visible in the terminal).

Good luck on your progress!

Thank you for taking the time to play and write feedback! I will certainly take your suggestions into consideration before the next release. The tutorial sneak part is admittedly much harder than I'd like so I will definitely reduce its difficulty in the future. The food eating idea is good too, I'll implement it and see how it feels with items that aren't food too. The mouse sensitivity issue is a bit of a tough one since it is dependent on the game's performance. I've tried to find a solution but I'm not entirely sure if one exists due to the game running all on one thread.

Regarding your last point, when I tested KC on Windows 10, it would show up on top of the task bar so I'm not sure why yours is showing up behind it but I will look into it.

Again, thank you so much for the feedback!

I'm using windows 11 haven't tested on 10 yet, I just know that if a window covers the full screen it'll override the task bar. Not sure if it otherwise could on w11.

Is it possible to display the fps ingame? I wasn't able to tell if the sensitivity problem happened due to frame rate or something else, but the fps seemed consistent.

Oh ok then that's intentional, it should cover the task bar. This is because I don't use the the 'full screen exclusive mode' and instead just use a borderless window so you can play 'full screen.'

Yes it's possible to display the FPS in-game, these types of settings are found in data/config.cfg. set showfps to 1 and it should appear.

I got borderless fullscreen working after changing Windows scaling from default 125% to 100%. So that means borderless fullscreen doesn't work out of the box on Windows default scale, those scaled resolution values get in the way for games I think.

The mouse problem doesn't seem to be related to fps, I checked and got consistent 125. The sensitivity fixed itself after going into the desert and from there keeps working.

Hmmm ok, thanks for the digging, I'll see what I can do about it.
