The music and graphics are well done. However, I noticed a few problems: 1) After death, time continues to pass. 2) After death, you can press ESC and the game will pause or unpause. 3) The graphics settings do not work. At least I did not see any changes. 4) The game is too difficult. As soon as I appeared, I immediately went up and ran into a wolf and died. I lived for about 10 seconds.

Regarding the first issue, time keeps running, but when you restart the game it resets, so it doesn’t affect gameplay. Also, the ability to pause the game while dead doesn’t work either. Regarding the third issue, thank you for letting us know; we will fix this problem soon. As for the difficulty, we are aware of the issue but aren’t sure if we can adjust the game’s balance after the evaluation period has started. I will check on that, and if possible, we will improve the balancing aspect. Thank you very much for playing and letting us know about these problems. After the voting period, we will give the game a major update to fix the issues and add more content :))

It's very cool, the graphics are amazing. But it's hard to know what's going on in the first run. I think it would help if the branches and rock were more common and the bonfire didn't disappear. When it ran out of fuel that could bring more twights to light it.

And I think I've found a bug or don't understand but I crafted the pickaxe first, then the axe and it didn't show up or get in the inventory.

Overall a great game.

The aesthetics are on point, music is also very nice, all the mechanics work fine, but I feel it needs some balancing, at least make the start a bit more easy to start understanding what’s going on. Also the screen shake could cause motion sickness.

overall You made something really impressive with the time given and I appreciate the narrative intro. Good job. If you give it more time I can see this turn into an actual product.

I really liked the presentation of this game, very atmospheric music and cool, glowy visuals! That being said, I'm afraid I couldn't figure out what to do... I would love to see more guidance on the itch page or in the game on how to play or what the controls are.
