--Overview-- 

Glur is of age now; but he must complete three tasks before the elder initiates him into the Folk. How will Glur solve the problems that face his village? Where will his quest lead and what perils await? What choices will he make when presented with difficult decisions? Will he honor Yoth? It's all for you to decide! 

PILGRIMAGE is a weird fantasy/sci-fi RPG in the HINTERLANDS campaign setting. Inspired by gamebooks, adventure games, and RPGs of yore, it features a branching non-linear narrative with multiple endings, meaningful choices, and hidden secrets to discover. Meet eccentric friends, tame wild beasts, explore labyrinthine dungeons, solve devious puzzles, fight dangerous monsters, and collect valuable artifacts. Adventure awaits on the island of Pyra!

I got stuck pretty early on. Couldn’t beat the rat in the cellar, and I couldn’t find a way to grind, or buy gear to get strong enough to move forward. I did get a second character, make some cheese a few times and sell it for some cash, but even that didn’t seem like enough to move forward.

I think I’m playing your game wrong.

I think if you explore the village and talk to Folk, you will find ways to do all this and more! Zippywings’ video review shows only early parts from an older version of the game, but you may find some applicable hints to get you started here.
