Gameplay Mechanics

• In the top left corner, you have HP (red bar), STA (green bar), and a HEART that fills up. When full, press 'H' to interact with defeated enemies for scene choices.
• The inability to look up can be frustrating due to vertical elements like hills in combat scenarios.
• Parrying is an essential mechanic for survival against enemies. Ensure you are using it correctly to avoid taking damage.

Progression and Leveling

• When you level up your stats, the values reset upon death but the level remains. This prevents further progression.
• Adding an inventory system would allow storing different types of equipment like armor and weapons (1H/2H).
• Follow NPC instructions carefully, as they often guide you towards the next areas with content and progression opportunities.

Quality of Life

• Including basic armor in cheat menu options alongside weapon choices would be beneficial.
• A healing mechanic or item to aid survival during gameplay would be helpful.
• The game is currently in an early stage of development. Be aware that some regions may not have any content yet and are intended to be explored later.

Character Customization

• Offering more hair style options along with the ability to change body features such as breast size would enhance character customization.
• Adding female, male, and futa character options could provide diverse story paths or continuations.

Combat and Enemy Behavior

• Archers' extreme mobility can be frustrating. Consider reducing their firing rate or movement speed for a more balanced experience.
• Enemies running through water should not move as fast as on land; treat it as a swimming area.
• Engage with enemies near the temple outskirts, as this area currently contains most of the unlockable sketches and combat challenges.

User Interface

• Placing the 'BYE' option last in conversations with characters like Dominarch would improve user interface flow.
• A compass or map is not yet implemented in the game. Use directional cues from NPCs to navigate effectively.
