Pretty neat concept, and some nice effects too -- especially liked the shadows, whippoorwill call, and screen warping with the creature. After getting the hang of crafting new picks there isn't much challenge in it and it sort of becomes a game at waiting out the creature though. Seemed it took me three or four nights to get the veggies to buy anything meaningful. But the town is a powerful objective to aim for -- more stuff like that and could be really fun.
Great game with much potenital! Hope to see a full version of it.
And there is already much in Jam version :D
The Creature in the night have got me afeter some time, but I enjoyed the process of crafting and explore :D
Thank you for your submission!
I really like this game. The day time is all just normal farming fun and then night is just you alone in the dark with who knows what lurking nearby. I hope you keep working on this!
Really solid foundation there I can't wait to see where you take it :)
It's a very good base for a big game! There is a lot of work done :O
I'll follow you, I'm interested if the game becomes bigger :)
This looks like it will be a nice little game. I'm not sure if it is completed yet or not, but I couldn't figure out how to craft things, and my pick broke very quickly, so I couldn't do much. I would probably play this for a while if I had a little more direction about how to do so.
EDIT: After looking at some of the screenshots, it seems like you have to find a forge to craft? If so, and if the forge is likely on the other side of the bridge, there's no way I'm going to bother with that. The pick breaks too quickly and stone is harvested too slowly to bother gathering the 50 wood and 50 stone required.
We have added more direction on how to play on the itch page.
To craft open your inventory click the 2nd tab near the top and click on the pickaxe, it costs some wood and stone. There are also locations to forage just a bit north.
Hope this helps. Hope you give it another shot and enjoy the game.
