Honestly, I feel like the food mechanic isn't necessary. It doesn't add anything fun to the gameplay or the mechanics; it's just another thing competing for your limited resources. I also question the decision to gate off the other classes behind medium difficulty when the difficulty curve between the difficulty levels is already pretty steep. There's a lot of potential here, but I feel like there need to be some tweaks.
Food is necessary for some of the characters we have planned. Maybe the punishment for starving is too high? We can reduce it so you don't lose so much life when you're starving.
This is probably my favorite RPG on this site! It has a real sense of heart to it and it doesn't have any sexualization of female characters or like mean-spirited humor!
