Pretty neat.
Thanks! <3
Uh... creepy great mysterious living! Much interesting to find spirit needs myself, not by bestiary tips. Ghasts make me pain. But I peace them all and place totems everywhere! Am I win the game?
Thanks for playing! <3
Right now the only end state of the game is if you lose. As soon as you figure it out, though, it's pretty easy to survive forever! If I ever go back and update the game some, I'll probably increase the difficulty and implement a scoring system! I appreciate the feedback!
