its cool you got a whole little world there, feels strange how little of it seems relevant to winning. the sprinting seemed to only sometimes activate, I'm guessing this is related to the stealth mechanics but it felt confusing
What I tried to do with running is that there is stamina and eventually you get tired (also the woodcutters as well) while the animation of running still stays.
Maybe if I've put a UI showing the stamina itself it would be better / more clear.
