Playtesting improvements

Another alpha update is live, focused mostly on tightening the survival loop and smoothing out a bunch of rough edges.

Every run now starts with a bit of chaos to push builds in unexpected directions: One random mutagen and one random injector are given to you when the game starts.

World interaction got a small but meaningful boost too: you can now eat meat or disassemble items straight from the ground.

Enemies have also learned to wield weapons themselves, so pay attention!

On top of all that, there’s a new ranged weapon to find, new memory units that may reveal fragments of the world, and a couple of long-standing bugs squashed (including a very overpowered t-shirt)

As always, thanks for playing and for the feedback. More tweaks and weirdness coming soon!
