Lovely art and a nice concept! With more polish and a few quality of life fixes it would be a lovely game.
It would be nice if the player UI could show ontop of other elements at all times, ratherthan sometimes disappearing behind objects.
I don't know why you chose the conrols as you did, I think it feels a little needlessly different from usual WASD walk + combat. Combat felt a little stiff and unresponsive, I would have liked to have more feedback and knockback here, or a clearer arc for the attack. I think because of that, I would rather have bypassed all enemies than engage in combat.
Some background music would have added a lot!
I really enjoyed lighting the fires for warmth.
