Thanks for the detailed feedback!
Yes, currently there is only stuff east, North, and south. I wanted to add something to the west, but ran out of time.
The message screen will let you leave if you press escape, but definitely agree it needed better navigation. Time constraints again :(
I like the idea of having a map reveal as you explore so it feels like you are gaining something on every death. Likewise, player deaths showing their items is a great suggestion to give more context to what they were doing.
Thanks again for playing. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
