Hi, I'm really enjoying the game, but I have a question: what should I do when I don't have a weapon and happen upon an enemy?
It seems like I didn't take that into account when I wrote the game! I'll give you two options: an unarmed attack that deals d4-1 damage (like in my other game Shortsword), or treating the monstrosity as if it's a horror.
Both sound perfect, thanks!
No problem! Thanks for playing :)
what a cool game! really impressive how effective the atmosphere, plot, and mechanics were, with how short it is. unlocking the narrative through progression was really fun, too. c:
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it
