Took some time to figure this out. Here are some tips for other players.
Press P to see the controls, I for inventory, wasd for movement, E to interact. Small head symbol at the beginning triggers initial conversation. You want to equip a weapon and head to the rock with a white spot on it and a sort of different texture, kind of spiky, and that will take you to a combat area.
Visuals are amazingly moody, gameplay is rough and hard to figure out. I quite liked the writing of the introductory conversation. I want to learn the deep mongol lore.
Visual feedback when striking enemies feels uneven, a few times I got a cool bloodthing. Not sure if you push the enemies away or if your knife gets stuck sometimes.
How far can you reach in this game? I have tried fighting a few times and going around looking at stuff but it is unclear to me if I can progress storywise at this point or if that just is not in yet. If I can, give me a few pointers and I will play more.
