cannibalism would be a very good way of adding to the gloomy atmosphere and highlighting the inevitability of death. Some kind of consequence to repetitive cannibalism should somewhat balance it. It would have definitely made me more nervous when I was sick and ill-equipped with a group of hungry players
good idea, also in relation to killing a player if you have low sanity or if it is your first player kill you will see a ~5sec replay of you killing that player, there are several other related variables/variations of this like playing just the sound of you killing the player, superimposing the last moments of that player right in front of you. I think this would be an effective way to show how being surrounded with so much death and chaos or taking human life will start to pull you into the abyss of physcosis.
