How does your game fit the theme?
Its about the calm BEFORE and AFTER a cataclysmic event that left the world in perpetual darkness. How everything was fine before the sun went dark, and how everything is so calm, gloomy and even nostalgic, AFTER the "storm" passed, and our protagonist is left all alone, getting ready to face the next storm, and the next, and the next whenever it may come.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes we did :)

Very atmospheric but little to do

The vibe of this experience is incredibly well curated. Love the ominous music, narration, and the contrast between the blues of the environment and the warm orange of the fire. Movement/gameplay reminded me of Don't Starve but the lighting setup and this environment elevates the look way past that. Creature designs were also dope.

Nice work. I wish I had some kind of way to at least stun the enemies since they were blocking many areas that made it impossible to move on without taking a hit. Overall I love the atmosphere.

Beautiful art style! The voice lines added a lot to the experience. I managed to survive 46 days, well done!

This is such a pretty game. I love the lighting and the paper-cut-out style leads to great contrast. I was not expecting voice lines but they added so much!  I was able to get to 46 days. I was unable to figure out a way past the bird when going up the tunnel to the left, but I think I managed without it!

Developer

Thank you! we appreciate it a lot! we put special focus on the atmosphere :))

The visuals look really good, and they remind me of the don't starve series. The game was laggy, probably since my laptop is potato, but I think having settings for screen resolution might help. Again, really good graphics, and great game.

Great game and amazing work. It would be helpful to see visually how much coal is left in the furnace.

I love the visuals so much!! I also love the atmosphere and the little snippets of voice acting!

I think getting coal does get a bit complicated when the ones near spawn are already mined, and I also feel as if the coal drains too fast from your campfire, but that could be very much my skill issue at play.

Survived 19 days :]

Very cool! I was thinking maybe I'd be able to kill those creatures or maybe find some items to heal myself, but overall, nice job!
