cool game maybe you can win :)
Alright so the game is fantastic. The art is outstanding and the audio is sublime, and the restricted view and exploration is very cool. The problem is the game locked in the midst of my 5th day. I went out as always and snagged some wood and tombs (what?) and returned because my sanity was dangerously low, as it never recovered at all as every day past (how do you get to the end of day 7 if you just lose your sanity too fast?), and upon entering, I got no dialog and tried interacting with the guitar, and it told me to go outside to get supplies, to which I could not interact with the door no matter what I clicked or pressed. Additionally, before this (I think in the same day) I had a dialog with an unclickable "Next ->", and I don't really know how I got past that, but I did only to lead into the aforementioned bug. Sorry most of this is a bug report, but yeah the game is really bloody cool.
Also, where's all the ratings?
Amazing art style & sound track / effects. The game feels very immersive & atmospheric, which is not an easy task with minimalistic/1-bit graphics, so kudos!
My favourite touch is the shaky cursor as the player gets colder!
I survived a few days & got a sense of what needed gathering but unfortunately on the third day I could not make it back to the house, even though my player's coordinates matched with that of the house.
Moreover, I did experience some minor issue with text overlapping, but nothing major.
Not Today is a psychological horror narrative game, where in a time when ice storms are becoming more and more constant, people struggle to survive the inclement weather.
In all this chaos, a father walks through a frozen forest with snow under his feet in search of shelter. Now that they have found it, they must survive for 7 days before the army arrives to rescue them.
The game has 4 DIFFERENT ENDINGS. Will you be able to discover them all?
