to get health you have to do this:
1. travel from one place to the next.
2. along the way, engage in a fight.
3. WIN.
4.reach the destination without dying.
when you travel again, pick another fight.
you should have full health.
(you dont have to pick a fight the second time to get the health, thats just to show that you DID get health back)
if you dont think its scary thats fine but i think if was pretty cool. It had a certain scary edge to it that complimented it rather than take away from it like a serial killer/freddy-jason game
