This game is really, really hard to navigate, especially with how big/crowded the map is and the limited flashlight mechanic. I was able to find the planks on my first playthrough but after being killed by the talking cannibal, I was never able to find them again. The brown cliffsides look too similar to the brown paths so it's hard to tell what you're able to walk on.
Also, when you're walking south, the character is pushed to the bottom of the screen so you're barely able to see anything. This makes it super easy for cannibals to just come at you out of nowhere.
That said, I like the story and atmosphere, I think there's a lot of potential there.
