Hey thank you so much for the kind words! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed my game.
The white stuff is a preservative substance the big bird produced to keep the baby food fresh for longer since they don't get hikers every day and it's their favorite food. This is why there was no nasty rotting smell around the bodies.
..... or that's the setting I came up with after I made a mistake lol Originally, I wanted the later area to be foggy and snowy, but I had run out of time and ditched that idea. When I was drawing the pile of bodies, I briefly forgot that I wasn't doing snow anymore. By the time I realized that, it was a little late to undo the snow pile and I kind of liked how the bodies would stand out in the dark forest due to the white paints, I came up with an excuse (a gross one at that) to keep it.
