Dudes, your arts and graphics is awesome with this 2.5D style. Reminds me the Don't Starve style. I love the character choosing system, the vibe and gameplay is totally great ! Good job !
This was a very cool project! I recognized the gameplay loop from 60 Seconds, which is a very cool and underutilized game format. The art was well put together and the game was overall very streamlined. The theme was also integrated very nicely.
I ended up in a position where I could survive pretty consistently, but I wasn't sure if there was a way to progress forward and win the game. It could be cool to make each individual run shorter but more punishing in a way, possibly by requiring more food to feed characters but having events with more dramatic consequences. I'm sure one could spend an infinite amount of time balancing a game like this, but it goes to show how much depth there is to the mechanics.
Great work!
Cool game with very good graphics and a great intro sequence, holy moley!
Definitely took some work to figure out what objects do what and what happens from what. The dramatic music for the start doesn't exactly fit the "calm" feeling there is supposed to be when you initially gain control of your character and before the bonfire start interaction (although the music is still good!).
Anyway, crazy good production value and awesome art!
Beautiful artwork and the game is pretty fun. Good job!
Loves the art!
Really awesome game, loved the artwork and the atmosphere, everything was great well done :D
A really simple concept but so well implemented ! The games really addicting... I had a blast playing it !...
p.s. I too created my first game... Its a simple one, The classic Brackeys Cubethon.... but its more annoying and has cool music...i hope :))
Feedback is requested !
Very beautiful game. I liked the atmosphere. During the gameplay there was a constant feeling of frustration, because it was not very clear what would lead to what, I had no water at all from the beginning of the game, someone was constantly injured and my people constantly came from the expedition empty-handed. In the end, 2 characters died, but I somehow completed the game. Также огромное спасибо за русский язык =)
This was such a striking game. Seeing the Darkest Dungeon-inspired art style, I knew I was in for some mental-breaking moments. It was a cool little distillation of survival against all odds. I was able to reach a couple of the endings (one to my demise, one to the light).
The sound was great and fit the general feel of the game. The writing was exactly what I hoped for in this time of game.
Feels like a game you could really flesh out into something interesting. Nice work.
sadly i can not play your game on my Mac, but rated it based on comments and screenshots, damn good looking screenshots, wish i could have played it :)
Amazing art, I especially enjoyed the loading screen. 60 seconds with darkest dungeon vibes, really cool game.
Graphics are amazing! How did you do that in only 7 days!! I can see how much effort u put into this while playing well done ! ☻
Loved the graphics and fits the theme perfectly

Love the atmosphere and the characters!
The only issue I had is that the storm hitbox at the beggining caught me off guard several times even though I wasan't that close.
I like how this game look and feel. Can you play my game?
P.S. I watched you videos on YouTube, don't count game trailer)
Great visuals and music, feels like it could have some good replayability too.
I really liked the art style and camera movement with character selection!! overall its a great game!
A very polished game, I ran into a bug where the screen went black after day 1 on my 3rd attempt but other than that everything was fine. Nicely done!
A very atmospheric game. the graphics are stunning, love the shader that was used here. i wish UI has gotten some more polish but there is only so much you can ask out of a jam game. and the music was really good too.
8.5/10 :>
The graphics and art style chosen are amazing with some good audio to match. Reminds me a lot of 60 Seconds which fits the theme well.
