Such a well-executed game, it really captures the eerie and freaky sensation of being alone in a forest. Very cool environmental storytelling that is elevated by the pixel art. You used the limitation really well with this palette for a cohesive and evocative style, amazing work! We got to the ending, although it feels like it didn't play out as intended, the monster still attacked and then the retry button didn't work.
The pixel art is so effective, the only critique is how the fireplace is animated. Adjusting the opacity makes sense as a way to animate the flames, but it does feel like it clashes with the rest of the simple style and looks a little unnatural.
Overall great atmospheric work and well done, one of the best kinds of jam games!
