Gameplay:

The player begins with a base avatar, a peasant, and a map containing two types of resources out of 5 available.
The player's peasant gathers resources from the map to craft keys and chests.
The chests contain visual customization elements for the peasant.
Occasionally, the peasant finds beers while gathering resources. After finding a certain number of beers, the peasant becomes drunk and needs to sleep.
The player can choose to let the peasant sleep or continue gathering. If the player decides to continue gathering while the peasant is drunk, they risk losing some items in their bag.

Drunk Mechanic:

Every 10 resources gathered, the peasant finds a beer.
After finding 5 beers (50 resources), the peasant becomes drunk and needs to sleep.
The player can choose to let the peasant sleep (which takes 5 minutes) or continue gathering.
If the player continues gathering while the peasant is drunk, there's a 50% chance to lose a random item from the bag every minute.

This game design provides a straightforward resource gathering and crafting mechanic, coupled with a unique risk/reward system through the drunk mechanic. The game is balanced around approximately 1.25 hours of playtime to craft a key and a chest, allowing for a satisfying loop of gathering, crafting, and avatar customization. As always, these numbers can be adjusted based on playtesting and player feedback to create the best player experience.
