I liked the way you interpreted the theme very much. The world felt nice to explore and the art and animations are top-notch.
I have one minor suggestion/nitpick in that I forgot my children in the shelter in the first night and had to backtrack. This was because I didn't realize that the babies disappeared from the mother when I pressed space in front of the shelter.
Maybe it would have been good to begin the game with you having to pick the babies up to introduce this mechanic to the player.
But I enjoyed it very much, great game!
