Not Sick of It Yet?

• Show player alignment on the map. Maybe as a gauge.
• Show damage multiplier in Muhasaba menu, eg. 1.5x
• Spiders poison, can buy antidote item at healer
• Simplify item management. Should everything be non-key, and we remove the key items menu?

  • Trees
  • The bush-like grass
  • Flowers
  • Wall and floor: wood house (eg. jinnsman)
  • Wall and floor: cave
  • Dead bodies in the intro
  • Animals

Although this doesn't look up-to-date, it is. Things that aren't checked off, aren't done.
