this is a very beautiful game. however, i would name the game as Windbound: Frustration.
combat system is dull to say the least. the locking on target mechanism works only if you are fighting 1 animal that does not teleport. if they teleport? or when facing against several enemies? good luck! the mechanism does not switch, forcing you to do it manually and even then, it might lock onto a different thing.
as for survival elements? i would say even on normal difficulty, its nonsensical especially when it comes to the boat.
i made a solid wooden boat, which was very hard to come by the material, and i died afterwards thanks to the locking mechanism. so i ended up losing the boat, and many hours that went to it, were gone!
i have no idea why you cant go back to the place you died and retrieve your material?
speaking of material? good luck finding the stuff you need!!! thank you for making it randomly generated!
i ended up uninstalling the game after i lost everything at chapter 4. i do hope future updates solve most of these issues.
