Man, what a hard game! It took me two days to beat it!

But I'm glad I did take the time to actually play through it.

Because honestly, there's part of me that really likes this: I can see the ambition that went into it.

The big map with the paths, all the different camps scattered around, NPCs, finding flowers and fighting mutant deer. I did find it impressive, almost brave to develop such a game for a Jam in a short period of time! The focus on exploration was interesting too, as you are left to wander and find things to yourself. 

You've got a solid base, but there's some things to keep in mind when you'll want to improve on this type of game.

First of all - things can be too vague.

Sure, it's nice that I can explore freely, go around where I want. But the few times where the game clearly wants me to head to a specific place, I'm not told!

Most NPCs don't say useful things, and the ones that do are ALSO too vague, and sometimes contradict eachother! I found three separate NPCs that told me "a big one fell" to the north, east and west! And from finishing the game, I know only one of those directions is correct.

The fighting as it isn't isn't exceptionally interesting, and the deer are a bit glitchy - they can push you as they run into you, even going up toward the sky, and even after death they hurt you by being close.

So overall, a very interesting and ambitious game that needs some cleanup and better direction for the player. 

Still, congratulations on making such an interesting game! Despite how hard it was, I had fun tackling it and seeing the ending made me so excited!

You have an interesting concept going on here. I had a feeling the story might have been headed toward something environmental since the people were all hunters and the deer were attacking, but unfortunately I never found out... I think I'd gotten pretty far when three deer ganged up on me despite staying on the path. Once they attack you really have little chance to survive, even with the gun, and having to start all over at the beginning is very frustrating. Also, running into a dead deer hurts you--not sure if this was intentional or not.

That said, I did find what I saw of the story to be compelling, despite a few grammar issues in the text. I like how the story unfolded through the dialogue of the NPCs. I may come back to it and try to finish after playing a few more submissions.

Overall, you've got something interesting here that probably just needs a little balancing and polish. Good job!
