I love the gameplay of this game, I wish there was a harder mode to play. I have some ideas to make the gameplay a bit harder. All of the ideas I put here could be put in a hard mode difficulty, so the laid-back people can play the game and not stress out over a bunch of new mechanics or new changes (maybe the hard mode can be unlocked after completing the normal version). First, add a Well Monster. I liked the jumpscare from the well, it made me think there was a well monster for a while. After learning that it was just a jumpscare, I was really disappointed that there isn't a monster. My idea for a monster that is in the well could be that every once and a while, the monster can appear from the well and you have a small but reasonable amount of time to get out of range of the well (about 3-4 seconds). If you fail to get out of range of the well in time, you'll die and lose the run. If you do add a hard mode, make it so that the price is increased by 50% to make it more of a challenge, increase the Wendigo's speed a small amount (like 25%) and decrease the time spent in the house a small amount.
If you add difficulties to the game, also make a Impossible difficulty. The difficulty can have
. 200% increase to all prices (even the gears)
. add multiple wendigo's (1 wendigo day 1, 2 wendigo's day 2, 3 wendigo's day 4, ect.)
. decrease the time you can spend in the house by a decent amount
. make it a chance that crops won't give you money
. fishing won't give you fish most of the time
. no grace period (no tutorial in Impossible difficulty.
. add multiple clowns in a night or decrease their timer a decent amount
. no workbench to make money.
. make the nights longer
. more things I can't think of right now that could make it a lot harder
I think beating Impossible difficulty should give a reward too, could be a in-game costume or statue in the house. It could outside the game too, but I wouldn't know what you could do.
The game is fun but it can get a bit repetitive at times. There could be huge potential with this game, for the more laid-back players, casual players and the people who want a challenge. The only times I died was once by the clowns because I didn't know how it worked, and about 5 times by the wendigo because I accidently got in range of it (it was very annoying at times). I'd love to see this game grow so people can play it.
also add the full game on steam for 5 or 10 dollars (maybe more if there is a huge amount of content), if you have an hour or two to kill, I would recommend this game. Since it is free for now, it will only waste 15 to 30 minutes of your time to try.
