How does the game fit the theme?
Everything seems peaceful at first, you find yourself in a calm forest with your small setup: a tent and a campfire. Birds are singing and everything feels natural, like nothing could possibly go wrong. But as you start managing your resources and maintaining your sanity, you soon realize that every decision counts. One mistake can lead to drastic consequences, and the situation can quickly spiral out of control if you're not aware enough of what's going on around you. So basically everything could go wrong ( it's sort of an irony ) :)
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
The shader for the main menu, the tileset for the "forest" and "ground", the main menu background image and the ambient sounds ( I have no forest nearby :) )

This game really stands out—the design is beautiful, and the ambient music is super relaxing. The sound design of the monsters (or hallucinations?) was scary at first, which was great for the atmosphere, but it started to feel a bit repetitive and slightly annoying after a few nights.
This is a super polished game and runs very well! Amazing job :)
Pretty unique style you've got among the rest, really dig the sorta text-based management gameplay, great work
A very interesting survival game with mechanics similar to the game '60 Seconds!'. I really liked the art style and the feeling when I get a good amount of resources. Very good game!
I like that you simplify the game by eluding chopping, hunting etc... Perhaps not for exploring because I like exploring.
Graphics are good, with just enough animations and polish. You did well managed lights and colors.
I sometime have some difficulty to Sleep, perhaps I was going bed to soon, but I have nothing else todo.
Great work.
I love the idea, and could really feel the slow dwindling of my resources, definitely going to try again to see if I can try and survive for longer
I love this! Don't typically play survival type games but this one was really intuitive and engaging! I made it to about day 8 or so before going crazy unfortunately but it was really fun managing everything and making choices. Good job on this!
Really fun mix of scariness and pure survival, amazing for a week
