I really, really like this! I just wish there were a save function rather than codes (as unique as they are, they are a little pointless imo). The characters (that are available to meet more than once) feel very real and I immediately bonded with them, and it felt like a much needed diversion from "you are the weakling little prey surrounded by people who want to me mean and eat you" and more like "you can get eaten if you want.. but nobody really SERIOUSLY wants to nab you." It felt very friendly with just enough worry that maybe someone wasn't so friendly (the yeena, boar), but did it in a way that was very, very satisfying!
Aside from my main gripe above, I do wish there were more post-digestion things that happened (basing my experience on Talon), e.g. maybe smoother transitions from full to not-so-full, a little more reaction from preds, and maybe some brief glimpses into the after-effects of being digested?
Also, minor minor lore gripe. The "reformation" vials from the very beginning are never mentioned again! It would be such a cool tool to keep Kit alive in the event of something sub-optimal happening to him, or more!
All this aside, while I didn't play and explore every inch of the game, I am really in love with the vibe so far!!! Seriously, high praises from one writer to another <3
Please keep up the awesome work!
