Food

Eating Food directly increases Energy. Food is earned in the Hunt and Gather Activities. Food acquired in the Gather Activity gives energy directly to the character that played it. Only Dan can catch food which is added to the food counter on the Main screen. Dan captures food by playing the Hunt activity. Food earned in the Hunt Activity is used to feed Books, Rusty, and Dan himself. The maximum food in Dan’s supply is 199.

Eat Command

 

Rusty and Books can only use the Eat command (shown in the figure above) if they are in the same area as Dan. Each unit of food consumed reduces Dan’s food supply by one. Characters may eat multiple pieces of food at once, but cannot exceed Dan’s food supply. If Dan’s food supply reaches 0, characters will be unable to eat.
