Digging out people was pretty fun, and I generally like the concept! But it would have been nice to have a clearer idea of where to navigate, by having some descriptions of where people got lost, some waymarkers to go by, a compass, or any other navigational tool that also lets you find your way back.
I also wish there was an indication of how close to freezing I am at any point, so I could plan better around when I'd have to return. I don't think being near the fire really reset anything visually, I still had a snowpile on my head!
With some quality of life tweaks I think this would be a neat little game!
