Historical Accuracy
Based the setting off of real Inuit references. Such as Ice-Fishing with large ice-chisels, sleeping in teepee's. Unfortunately we couldnt get a fishing line to work, but the player used authentic fishing techniques where only a string was used, as it was reeled in by wrapping the string around their hands.
Thematic Relevance
The game takes place in Northen Canada where you play as an Inuit man who needs to explore his surroundings to find fish to eat.

Immediately evokes a mood and captures my attention. I found the walking animation funny! I enjoyed interacting with the environment and getting the fish. Solid entry, with good quality assets (both the art and music fit in so well with the game concept). The simple goal of gathering 3 fish kept it sizably manageable to achieve within the “jam game” playtime/dev constraints as well. Thanks for making this!
Cool looking game! I got all three fish. By the time I caught the third one, it was very dark, and I could hardly see a thing, which added great realism! I had to search for a light source to replenish my health on the way back to camp, which created a fantastic atmosphere. In the end, I had all three fish but didn’t seem to be able to do anything else. Was there something else I was supposed to do?
We are glad you enjoyed our game! There could be a bug if you backtracked after getting all 3 fish, I'm honestly not sure. We intended you to go to the shrine looking location next to the last fishing hole and then get chased back to the starting camp
I just wandered around in the dark for a bit once I collected all 3 fish. I'll give it another go.
I like the low poly visual style you've gone for. The game didn't run great on my computer. I also had an issue where I died because the main guy just wouldn't catch that last fish. Good entry.
