I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I think the main character is a strong choice, and interesting as well. The combat gameplay loop was pretty interesting once it got going, but I'm not sure of the lasting power considering if you don't craft the right things you might find yourself in a difficult position.
I had trouble finding the potion shop because it has no icon on the sign! It was odd having signs on other buildings but not here.
Overall though I think the writing is well done and the foraging/crafting was pretty cool as well. I do think the foraging would be a bit better if it seemed more like you were taking things from the environment. As it is now it feels like it's an extra drop after killing enemies or entering a new area.
