Hey, thanks for playing. I take it you skipped the tutorial?

Almost got destroyed on my first encounter, it was a guy with a giant axe, i had to flee
Yeah, he can be tough for new players. He's also the boss of the tutorial.

I got killed by an alone poison thing that flees from you when it sees you and almost couldn't hit it, it was blocked in trees because my sword was hitting the trees instead of the enemy, if that's the way they are supposed to behave that's pretty clever
They're not as intelligent as they seem, but running away from the player is the intended behavior. They'd just get lucky if they ran into a position you struggled to deal with them in.

playing without the shield seems impossible against some ennemies, like the clawed ones
Definitely possible, but difficult for new players.

i didn't figure out how to shoot the crossbow
The tutorial teaches you how. You need to equip bolts and then use the bolts, using the consumables button, which the default controls for are Q on KB+M and X/Square on Xbox/Playstation controllers.

It's funny to be able to fall off cliffs
I'm glad you found it funny.

It looks like you can't die from bleeding + poison outside of fights since your health regens too fast
You likely weren't bleeding or poisoned enough for it to be a major issue. The various tiers of status effects is something I'm trying to figure out how to communicate better.

Details like the sword being blocked by obstacles really makes the game interesting, it could be cool to have a secondary attack to thrust with it to add variety
There is a secondary attack to thrust, and it doesn't bounce off walls like the swing does. The controls for it are taught in the tutorial, but default wise, for KB+M it's Shift+M1, and for gamepad it's RB/R1 for Xbox/Playstation.

The game was pretty fun to play
I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. If you ever get the opportunity, try out the tutorial.
