Description

Run around and explore the world, find food or grow it yourself. 

You are tasked with keeping the monster trapped, this can only be achieved by keeping its appetite at bay. Feed it whatever it demands or land on the plate yourself. However, its hunger grows ever stronger, and will never be satisfied.

You are allowed to fail one delivery.

Pick up water and throw it at plants to make them grow faster.

If you find a summoning site (pentagram on the floor), you can make sacrifices of the item it requests, to receive helping hands. (You need to use the "Plant" action when near it).

Helpers will follow you and will carry items for you, however they need to eat too.

Paths often traveled turn into roads that allow for quicker movement.
