Generic Rundown of the Game
You’re a young boy/girl that has just reached the coming of age for your village, and you’re tasked with going out on your own and becoming an adult. The game starts with you exiting the village gates and them being shut behind you. Outside the village is hostile terrain where monsters lie, you are left to take care of yourself and weather any obstacle that may come your way.

Hunger gage that will grow with Endurance, eating food will satisfy it, when it reaches 0 you will start to lose health every XX seconds.
Random Towns
In the game there will be towns you can encounter and in these towns you can pay the town chief to house you for the night. When inside the town you are safe from wild monsters outside, you are able to save the game(only inside the town), trade vendors, and effectively skip the night.
Difficulty/Saving
I’m not 100% on this at the moment, but the aim of the game is to be difficult. There may be difficulty settings that you can choose from at the start that will impact the game in varying ways. Current ideas on the idea board are
- Saving only available when inside a town,whether it’s your start town or a random town
- Only one save applicable per run through the game.
- Save deleting upon losing(maybe only on harder difficulty settings)
- Certain monsters/bosses/items only accessible through harder game settings(think Terraria).
