Sorry for the additional reply, but I've got enough to say that I think I should add a new reply instead of editing my first one.
This is more for other people: It seems like an enemy similar to the sewer worms from Classic is in the Forest Park, but I don't know if they can swallow you like in Classic; I got a tail-tongue attack by losing to it, but it seems like there's another defeat scene.
Second, what would you consider the "main story" of the game? Most RPGS (that aren't closed-world or story-based unlock, like Pokemon vs. Skyrim) tend to direct you towards the main story and have the next quest/arc unlock directly after completing one. Of course there's nothing wrong with doing it differently, but it makes it hard to tell what the main story line is or if there is one at all. The description of the game on this page makes it sound like you haven't really implemented a main story line, and I'm curious how planned out that is. I haven't checked your Patreon in a while though, so there might be a roadmap I'm unaware of. I imagine a storyline that involves learning why your character woke up like that and/or why the Abandoned Town is destroyed might be interesting.
I feel like I had something else to say but I forgot it, I might edit this later to add it.
