There's a cheat mode in Options. It turns off game overs like they didn't happen. You also don't consume the food then.I saw that, its pretty annoying to me. I was playing and I get a game over ending because I didnt know that alot of encounters could potentially end up as a game over. I lost like 40 minutes of gameplay.
I get having multiple endings but game over endings are pretty annoying and pointless, at the very least there should be a rollback feature that lets you start over before a potential game ending encounter.
But really, what's the point of playing the game then
