Sounds like just terrible RNG and it attacked all your campers simultaneously
Ah, well that's super weak.
I was thinking a camper wouldn't go from Healthy to Dead because of how unfair that would feel to a player.
Still, jam games aren't known for their balance. ^^ And it was a very cool core otherwise.
Yeah, that might have been a glitch. Unless they also took hunger damage or cold damage as well as damage from the thing in the woods.
