I love immersive job sims, so this was right up my alley! Firstly, the visuals are AMAZING. I can't believe you guys got such a nice looking world and train interior in just four days! Next off, I appreciate the constant back and forth between keeping your engine and heater fueled, checking for obstructions, and taking it all in. Unfortunately, taking it all in got me killed twice, as I froze to death each time I was admiring the bleak, white void around me. The freezing overlay was too easy for me to ignore while using the binoculars, so I got caught by surprise both times. Perhaps a shivering sound, or a flash of red to indicate you're in immediate danger would help communicate how close to the threshold you are at that point. Otherwise, this is an awesome entry to the jam, and I'd genuinely pay money to see a fully realized version of it! Great work!

Hey thank you so much for the kind words! Really appreciate all the feedback and glad that you liked the game!
We do plan some edits and adding more feedback of course, just did some post0jam update on the game and fixed a bunch of bugs, will add more feedback on the freezing effect as well very soon. Hopefully will make it into a full release some day :)
