Neat concept, and I liked the simplicity of it, but I also ran into similar issues as others. I'd get munity on the 1st/2nd day even when going to locations that increase food and morale and had positive luck. Also ran into a weird bug where my number of settles flipped to a negative number and it started adding food each day. :D

hey thanks for trying it out! Yeah there were a few bugs I couldn't fix in time (especially the mutinies... Missed that one by a minute) but I'm glad you liked the concept at least!

Submitted

I like your game! Really fits in theme!

DeveloperSubmitted

thanks! Appreciate you trying it out! Hope you didn't get too many mutinies!

I don't know if my luck is just horrible or if I am doing something wrong, but I played it a couple of times and kept getting mutiny on the first or second day and was never able to make it past day 3. Seems like a cool concept though (that maybe needs some balancing)

Hey thanks for trying it out! yeah I didn't catch the bug with all the mutinies until juuuuust after the deadline haha so that's frustrating. Will be updating after review time is over!

Some events (especially mutiny) straight up kill you, and they happen a lot (even on day 1) even at high morale (>90), which was very frustrating. The farthest I've got was 9 days in about 15 tries. On days with 2 columns of choices I assumed I could see where I could go after taking the corresponding path, but next choice was still randomly generated. Idea isn't bad but unforgiving RNG and death events definetly made gameplay worse

hey thanks for playing! Yeah I caught the mutiny bug about 2 minutes too late to resubmit :/


It was only supposed to happen if your morale went super negative but I was missing a minus in a condition check, pretty frustrating

Pretty cool take on the Oregon Trail! I died my first run but got to the end on my second (actually I got to day 31 lol). The random event messages were pretty funny, though the gameplay is a bit overly simple, since it's just point and click.

I don't think I fully understood the food/morale system, sometimes it felt like food depleted at an inconsistent rate (like once every 2 days)

Thanks for checking it out! I accidentally submitted twice so this one is an old version, I think. Lots of bugs that I never got the chance to fix though...
