I've been playing for a bit. My girl managed to get herself into some pretty nasty scrapes, but managed to wiggle out of enough to keep going. Now, though, she's taken too mach to ever likely escape from. Is it worth continuing? Is there a lose state? Any indication of when she's too far gone? Or do you just keep playing until you choose to abandon her quest and start again with a new hapless girl? It almost seems like once you're in too deep, there's pretty much nothing the badguys can do to you. Just headbutt anyone who puts a leash on you whenever you have enough stamina, and you can travel forever.
Also, is there a way to win?
