I'm very impressed by your constructive questions presentation.
1. HUD Mechanics
Creation of this project helped me to understand what could be improved in it. These mechanics (sore leg, anxiety, for example), which are really mostly decorative now, perhaps have a general idea of the character's feelings. I want to say that I see the story, and you may not understand my intention, consider it somewhat delusional, but I assure you that it all definitely makes sense. When you see the state of the character, it seems that you can enjoy the game moments to a greater extent. As for the gameplay component at the level of "Abscessed Lowlands", it makes sense. Also in the future this concept will be revealed to a greater extent.
2. Replayability
In short, if you missed something, this is not critical, because basically all the events that can be missed and affect the plot only indirectly. I'm not able to radically change the plot based on your preferences, although at the very end of the game, serious changes will await you.
3. Help with writing
Perhaps the only weak point in my opinion is grammar. Unfortunately, I cannot accept help with the plot. However, I need help with grammar, because I am not a native speaker and the meaning of dialogues and events can be distorted. If you are willing to suggest corrections to me, I would love to hear it from you!
4. Face changing
I understand what the main purpose of this kind games is, I assure you.
If someone would be happy with changing, someone will be disappointed for sure. If I deem it necessary to conduct a vote, it can be seen on the official

Thank you very much!
P.S. Games in this genre usually are not considering as something meaningful from a narrative point of view. Allow me to change some views. I do not pretend to be exclusive, even if a few people will be supporting me, I just want to show that things are different here.
