Check the tree tab every time you move into a new location. They all have different traits and recipes and you definitely missed some

there aren't actually consequences, it's just supposed to make you uneasy
Ok. Found what was tripping me. In the tree tab, some icons appear behind the box for descriptions and crafting. One needs to scroll the tree around to see them and there's no way to reach them at all if one is zoomed all the way out. That figured, I used the knife and got one of the endings. Not sure what to suggest to make that more obvious or a non-issue
After the ending, it offers me to start from the last save but I don't see a way to save. If I choose to restart from the beginning, then the icons from the previous run are still visible in the tree tab even though they don't function.
I really have no idea what to try to reach the two other endings. I see there are still two icons in the tree tab that I haven't gotten (the foot and one more tree just next and below)
Are the different characters really any different? I do think the description for the runes in the standing stones was different from what I remembered but wasn't keeping track of what it was and what character

Well that's a bugger. I thought we fixed that bug
> Are the different characters really any different?
They each have their own special trait that has a lot of recipes attached. Most of them are just text but a couple have mechanical effects as well

Have you found all the locations? There's one ending in the river location (it should be fairly clear how to reach it once you look at the traits there) and you can get another ending by exploring some more after unlocking the river location (in fact, there is a quest that tells you to do it).
I've made 6 long and successful runs. Only once, in the 5th run, I've found the river. I did reach that ending. Now I just need to find the river again to try for that third ending.
I must say that you have managed to keep me engaged for quite a while. A large scale version of this does sound interesting.
