I close my eyes every time I click the "kill" button on the bunnies. I can't watch the actual moment.

I love the game's artwork and I already don't want it to change from this paint-like appearance. But for the sake of my emotional responses, I'm DEFINITELY glad it's not photo-realistic when it comes to killing bunnies. 😳

I think it would be a great idea to have a tabletop game, though I don't know if an RPG would be the best approach. In the late 70's ( I believe ) my parents had an Avalon Hill bookcase game called, appropriately enough, Outdoor Survival. I don't know if I could put it in a genre, but it was played on a hex board with tokens representing the player. There were various rules about acquiring food and water, and there were different scenarios like move from one side of the board to the other, visiting certain locations on the map, catching a fugitive, etc. Wasn't a bad game at all.

My wife found this game at Goodwill last year! We tried playing it a few times on vacation and died brutally in about three turns. I hope you had better success with it. We barely made it 1/6 across the board!

A lovely sunrise at the Lighouse in DP. One of the reasons DP is my favorite region in the game. You can only get these views here.

DP is my favorite, so far, too. I've only started in Mountain Town, Mystery Lake, Coastal Highway, and DP. It took me until day 5 or so of my current run (day 7, as of right now, maybe?) to realize I could get down from my lighthouse perch without crossing all the bridges and ridges. It's tricky, but I like the descent/ascent path on the little island before this one.

That said, after switching from the easiest mode to this custom variant of the easiest, and allowing animals to attack me, I've realized I will occasionally lose a day to recovery here and there. I trekked out on day 4 to reach the mainland from the lighthouse and got jumped by a wolf on the second island. It did NOT go well. I recovered eventually, but I lost a whole day to that fiasco. Regardless, I still love DP. There's a bear out here somewhere that's gonna be fun to deal with...
