How did you choose to implement the Theme: Polar Expedition in your game?
The story is set in a cold and rather hostile place for the protagonist, so it must explore the place to understand where it is and how to get out of there. There is even a commentary about it *wink wink*.

Did you implement any of the optional Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?
Yes:
1 - Land of Ice and Snow.
2 - Don't Freeze.
3 - Blood on the Snow.

Did you create your game in RPG Maker?

Yes

Once I got this game working, it quickly became one of my favorites in the jam so far. The art style is very polished, and I'm really impressed with the gameplay mechanics you managed to include using RM2K3. The characters all have a very specific "early 2000s RPG Maker" charm to them as well.

My only feedback is that the endings confused me a bit. I respect when things are kept open-ended, but the cats are such a specific image, I was hoping for a little bit more of an explanation as to why they were there. It felt like I missed something huge even after getting all 3 endings.

Keep up the good work! I look forward to what comes next.

Hi, first let me thank you for the heads up on the RTPs. I use Windows 10 and had no problem at all, but it is likely that others may have a similar problem. So thanks for the guide you shared ^^.

Second, I made the story with a plot in clear thinking about who Noah is, what it did and where it is. But I like more the idea that people can give it the interpretation that best suits them. There are some clues out there, but I admit they are quite ambiguous haha. If you liked my work, I recommend you to play “Epifanía” as well. Thanks a lot for the feedback and happy new year ^^
