How does the game fit the theme?
You are leading a pack of survivors through a frozen wasteland, however mistrust divides the group. It is up to the player to uncover the secrets that each character may be keeping. All the while there are rumors of Hellhounds afoot... surely they aren't real?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
None! :)

Nice cozy game- even with the setting it felt good to play, love the artwork- great pixel art. I think i missed something cuz i didn't understand who not to trust T_T
Really cozy game despite the setting, loved exploring through the snow, but I missed something because the story wasn't progressing after I gave people what they asked for. I tried a lot to find the key to the box or something north-east as the kid said but only found the hunter's arrow. I think it may be a bit unclear what to do after that.
The art is adorable, really, you guys did a great job! The only nitpicking I have is to try to have all assets share the same resolution across the entire game. I think the text can pass, maybe, but the menu should absolutely have the UI elements with pixel sizes consistent with the rest of the art, it'll make justice to the great assets you made!! Congrats!
Loved the atmosphere and art style! It was really cozy. The survival mechanics weren't really clear initially, I didn't get any feedback from being damaged by the cold but eventually I found it out. The story was nice, though I would really love a backstory to understand what happened. The 'banish kid' put me in a hard position, I kinda had to banish him after playing too much... Jokes aside It was also very satisfying, the mining mechanic was good; I'd only change once thing since 'physically' you can't reach far already, It would be good to have the mining be: you get close to the rocks or tree, click > mine. Pointing makes it less... satisfying. I didn't get much the story about the monsters taking the place of the people at the camp and that red eyed wolf, I couldn't kill it so it was kinda unfair as I only could run away. Other than that this was a really cool idea, good job!
I never expected a survival game! This is a pretty nice surprise and a very underrated experience while still being somewhat on theme, nice!
Thanks for checking it out! <3
The art is so cute! Also loved the story, overall a really solid game that really fits into the theme!
Thank you for the kind words! <3
Thank you! Maotica and I did all the art, so I'm really happy you like it ^^
Finished the game :) This game is gonna do numbers in ratings. Relaxing and fitting music and sound effects, good story to keep you engaged with characters having colliding backgrounds, artstyle was super cool and fit the ice cold theme setting very well, gameplay had 0 bugs as far as I remember, and finally the theme of the jam was a big influence and fit very well the game. No complaints from me! :D
Thank you for the kind words! We definitely put in some overtime to make sure it was as bug free as possible. I'm glad you had no issues ^^
Thank you for the kind words! Our team was very hardworking <3
This game just blew our mind, it was so polished and very fun to play, didn't even feel like a game jam game! Very well done!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed playing our game! ^^
Aww I'm happy to hear that ^^
The game was very fun. It is a bit odd that the mining mechanic is based on mouse position and not in front of the character but the game is very well executed.
Fun little game. Was confused by the e over the fire at the start but quickly got it. Music was nice and melancholic. Suiting the story.
Story was small but interesting, each person had their own personality that could be shown in the small number of sentences.
The digging and chopping mechanic were fun. Loved exploring the environment and finding things in the snow.
Why does it take time to walk through a tree when it is chopped down? You can walk easy when cleared with digging, but some points I was walking into the tree until it respawned so I could go forward.
It took me a while to realise I could use E on something in the game. Once figured out, I got through the game quite quickly.
Overall, I enjoyed this game, thank you.
Thanks for checking it out! We will definitely be changing some of the things that you mentioned in future updates <3
