Known Bugs

Reassigning abilities to new slots sometimes causes the game to crash. You can however, rebind the keys in the Controls menu.

For some reason, sometimes the game does not start with Keyboard focus / support. Refreshing or clicking away and back into the game seems to fix it.

Pressing TAB may break keyboard inputs. The game does auto-save at campfires so if this occurs, you can refresh the page to continue.

You wake in a small cottage at the edge of the woods. You don't remember who you are, where you came from, or how you got here. An old scholar tells you he found you collapsed near the cliffside. You have no belongings, no identity... only a strange energy coursing through you.
