Sanity

The Sanity meter icon is a brain which shrivels as you lose your sanity. Small arrows will appear on the meter pointing up when you restore sanity or pointing down when you lose sanity. Easily showing what things make you less/more sane.

When your sanity drains Crawling Horrors begin to show themselves. The camera also becomes shaky. When your sanity is at 0 the Crawling Horrors attack you. Doing scary things will cause your sanity to decrease. For example, going through a worm hole drains 33 sanity. Standing near Crawling Horrors will decrease your sanity. Digging up graves will also decrease your sanity.

Avoiding scary things will cause Sanity to regenerate during the day and dawn. Sanity will not regenerate during the night. Eating taffy will give you more sanity. Picking flowers will also restores 5 sanity.



The player character loses sanity when he is left alone in the dark, gets close to scary monsters, or does crazy things like eating monster meat or jumping through a worm hole. Sanity can be regained through acts of dapperness, like wearing fancy clothes in the sunshine and eating candy.

Low sanity is not fatal, but strange creatures from another time and place are attracted to madness. There are new, powerful items that can be built from the nightmare fuel that they leave behind when killed.''
