This  is a very interesting concept and i like how this creates a new story everytime you play. 

And my favourite thing is, that the game let`s me jump in the water and fight a shark.

Always fighting that shark, cant not with that description

really interesting game! the sound design, albeit really comfy, still sounds like theres a looming end ahead. it's beautiful. i hope there's more actions the player can take, such as maybe scouring the nearby waters for supplies or fishing? then the dice roll prior to that can affect whether we'll find something good or none at all.  nonetheless, such a unique take on adventure rpg with really nice visuals to top it off. your storytelling is really good ^^!

very good and cozy game. weird to call being stranded cozy yeah but i am talking about the art, music and pacing. It's completely random, which takes something away from what it "might" have been, but in order to make it "more", to me, wouldn't be taking away that powerlessness. it would be adding like, agency, but within the contraints. just, as in, engaging in catching a fish, or, patching a hole, rather than they be lines on a page. But to me, the loveliness is what it's about.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I have to agree, I think the player should have a bit more agency to keep it entertaining.

I'd love to expand further on it after the jam! I'll try to implement some of those ideas!

Submitted

Sure! And if this game is just a page in your book, rather than something you further cultivate, that's good too. totally up to you

Short but sweet! Would have been nice to have more agency on actions and choices but it was fun nonetheless!

I like some of the choices ... like of course it is a good idea to fight a shark in water, obviously, best idea ever lol

but this one was by far my favorite choice lol


happy I got a 20 in a d20, this is my lucky day

Very simple but vey fun to play! Didn't have the courage to jump and fight the shark, though

Looks nice!

In hindsight, jumping in to fight the shark despite being warned WAS pretty dumb, but at least it was based. 

Loved this game, the vibes were spot on and it was really creative. My only advice would be to outline or highlight when clickable objects are hovered for ease of knowing what can be clicked (as evidenced by me trying to click a coconut before I realized I should just move to the next day). This was an awesome game!

Thank you so much! Ease of knowledge is important in game jams and Ill try to make it more clear in the future. I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Have a great day!  :)
