I just played the new "region" you added into the story a few weeks ago. It's nice to play and the addition of health bars for followers makes sense. However, I've run into some minor stuff.
First, please add some chapters for the new progression. I was almost finished with Widows Den when the game just closed and had to replay from the beginning of the sewers.
Near the start of the Widows Den (hope I placed that correctly), there's a hidden chest under the planks. On unlocking it, the merchant girl blocks the exit from there almost completely. I got it twice in a row, so it might be replicable.
Three minor issues with followers as well:
They can get stuck in some locations. While that is definitely hard to fix, you can add a teleport function for when they're too far from the MC, or would need some serious time to get to me again.
And in the new region, they try to stick too close to the MC, even hindering me from walking straight at times.
Lastly, reviving is a bit bugged: Should both Brenda and the merchant go down next to each other, reviving both *at the same time* takes about 3 seconds.
Apart from those (I already said it) minor issues, gameplay is fun, and I'm looking forward to what you have planned for the game.
