The gameplay is basically non existent. There is no fun objective to complete. My log when flying in the air and I couldn't get it back. It is too dark to see anything. But the graphics kinda cool. WHERE IS THE THING?

Seeing the Thing just staring at me from far away was scary, I want to go home
Good job overall

I wanted to stay alive long enough get hugged by The Thing, but I couldn't get logs back to the fire in time!  Maybe a skill issue tho

I only found the one log, but it was genuinely a little bit tense there when I didn't see where The Thing was or where he would come from.

Yeah it was hard to know how much fog and such to add, and I ended up not having time to test enough to change anything! But I'm glad you felt a bit tense, that was the feeling I was going for :D

It had a great ambience, but I never found more than one log because it was usually too dark.

Developer

Thank you! Im glad the ambience was well recieved, but yeah it was hard knowing how much to tweak on the darkness and fog, and the distance for the logs
