Art is very nice, good job with the characters, they look great.

Nothing happens if you don't lit the fire up. Nothing happens if food is -18 on every character. I respect that you tried, but that isn't even a playable game. 5 stars on the art though.

Yeap 😅

I used to have a bunch on instant-loose conditions (Not guarding the camp overnight, not lighting the fire by 2 am, letting food reach 0) but they where really harsh in play-testing.

I decided to remove the loose conditions and make the game an experience and a story-telling device rather than something to test your strategy.

Let's call it "the illusion of choice" 😅

Thanks for the feedback ^_^

Cool game with awesome art!

Never played such a game before, so it was pretty interesting. :)

Please expand the game! :D

The art is great! I wish it had a bit of background music tho.

It feels like a tutorial level for something bigger. Are you planning on expanding it?

Developer

Thanks :) Yeah, during development I really wanted to add some background music but I couldn't find any on my hard-drive.

I feel like I might expand on it. Simplify the UI and UX a bit and maybe make a mobile build of it.

This was a cool narrative game!

The turn based survival-resource management strategy could be a really cool game. If you guys wanted to and explored the game further it become something really cool.

The graphics are really good and the interface is also really clean.
