Ranked from 5 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How did you choose to implement the Theme: Feral Beast in your game?
It's a game about surviving from a Wolf-ish monster in the woods.

Did you implement any of the optional Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?
There is a day-night cycle, where you prepare for the wolf-y monster during the day, and then you hopefully survive the night. And some of those preparations are traps.

A fun solo journaling game! Could be a little bit harder on Day 1, I think. I've made a blog post sharing my game playthrough and thoughts.

I'm glad you liked it – and you're not the first to mention the beginning might be a bit too easy haha, so I'm going to tweak it a bit! Thank's for the feedback!!

Cool game, I made it to day five, seems tough even with a weighted die! Great presentation with the instructions, even funny at some points- awesome color scheme and styling / font choice.

Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you liked it, even if the monster got to you!

Would you say the issue was that the game is a bit unbalanced, or just bad luck? If it's unbalanced, I can totally do something about that. If it's luck, I can only say that four leaf clovers and horseshoes always work for me ^^

I might have just had bad luck, seemed fairly balanced!
