Hey, thanks for checking out my game! Its strange that you didn't find any health potions, another player had the same issue and there should be plenty of them. I hope I did not accidentally remove them in the update!
I like your suggestions, a lot of them are already in my backlog. I like the idea of gathering herbs in the wilderness. That should be fairly easy to add and will help solve the health issue as well as adding something for the player to do. I also want to add campfires for passive recovery.
Another player discovered that you could loot the rats dagger from them! An accidental feature but one I will expand!
Thank you for the valuable feedback!
