Monumental thanks for playing and leaving such a profound comment! I am very grateful for your support and I am a huge fan of your work as well, you make top notch horror games.
Yes, the sprinting mechanic is new to my game, at least this version, which actually makes the player run out of speed and I am working on it. With the trees, sadly the issue is sometimes with assets, but I will try to fix those in my upcoming projects as well.
Thanks once again and best to you! With huge respect mate 👏👏
