* AwesomeButImpractical: If you choose to wield weapons instead of using unarmed combat, and find (and carry) all multi-use weapons available, you can turn yourself into a flurry of spiky, slashy, shooty, stabby, explodey death and easily overcome most types of enemies available. Then again, carrying all the weapons to acheive this will cut your carrying capacity down quite a deal.
* [[spoiler:ImAHumanitarian]]: You can set up traps in the woods to catch creatures. The fact that you can find cloth from the traps alongside meat and teeth would point toward the conclusion that you and your village have no need to [[spoiler:separate animal flesh from human or wanderer flesh]]. The spoils from your Dusty Trail kills can also point that way.

You can't even sell them for different resources. Scales and teeth are needed in the dozens and hundreds to buy some weapons that you cannot make yourself, and although fur can be traded for scales and teeth, it takes a ''whole lot'' of idling with all your villagers hunting to get enough furs to get any meaningful amount of the better OrganDrop currency.

The game is a prime example of FollowTheLeader done well, as it was developed as a direct response to the hit game ''Candy Box'' (and quickly gained the approval and praise of ''Candy Box'' creator Aniwey). It's designed to run quietly in a browser tab much of the time, and to demand the player's attention to varying degrees over the course of the story. It's also notable for its old-school feel and its radical GenreBusting.
