You must have hit 'g' for game mode. Hitting 'g' again gets you out of it.
I think it's funny that all games are now "survival". I love playing that survival game Oblivion. Sometimes I play survival at Mario Cart with my kids... and occasionally survival Sonic the Hedgehog.
To me, the main feature of a survival game (Minecraft, Terraria, etc.) is that you are dropped in the middle of nowhere with absolutely nothing or next to nothing and you must forage for everything you need to make it.
Mythruna will be more of a classic RPG. You start with equipment. You start with some money. You are dropped near a town where people can give you supplies, quests, whatever. So it's only 'survival' in the sense of every other RPG that was ever made (computer or otherwise). (Back in the day, we used to play D&D survival mode with pencils, paper, and dice.
