Thanks for checking out our game and the feedback!
In hindsight, that is something that would have been pretty good to put in. Maybe like a potion or something that the adventurer would focus on finding or something. I think the "not listening" to commands mechanic could have certainly used some more polish. Admittedly, he just picks a random unblocked space to move to as that was the first idea I implemented and never expanded or improved.
I would like to further polish and expand the game after the jam is completed. If you'd like to check it out then, feel free to follow!
