Sometimes books and keys are very hard to find, and Slendrina is sometimes very annoying. There should be a map to explore the cellar and find ways and exits like in Slendrina X, Slendrina: The Cellar 2, Slendrina: The Forest, and House of Slendrina because I am always lost in Cellar 1 and 2 while finding the exit. Otherwise, super cool game. Thanks, developer.”
