Really nice looking game, feels pretty solid.
Only real complaint is that its difficult to aim.

Great game,
I'm glad you take 24 more hours to make this well.
Sure, a little smoothing on the camera moment could be nice but not necessary, we are fast take by the ambiance of the game.
Just a bit disappointed by the end, our hunted "monster" was deserving a real mesh for a final turnaround.
Very nice!
The transitions are seamless and the ambiance is very immersive.
Good work!
Brilliant mood, nice graphics.
Nice mood, I was disappointed on a first time in this white empty place, but then I found a rabbit and then the big black monster. Very immersive game, but need more feedback to know where to go I think. Good work !
Great exercise in style! Love the moody atmosphere.
Shooting an arrow while a rabbit runs away, then hearing it get hit in the fog, and then running forward to find it dead, is quite cool and haunting!
Wonderful atmospheric. Loved it... Didn't get that you really just have those few arrows at first and just shot them somewhere in the beginning and had to search for them to get them back. Was fun! :D
i got into the game for good five minutes and there seems to be nothing in it. where's the stuff to hunt or something interesting to explore?
Really nice atmosphere. Wish there was more to do in it though.
Nice style and good athmospheric
The simple graphics are really nice. Liked the movement and weapon but did have issues knowing where I was aiming.
Ah, I remember seeing this one on Twitter mid-development.
It has a really nice atmosphere and I enjoyed wandering around, even though it felt a bit directionless (both in terms of movement orientation and the hunting motivation).
Over the course of playing I found and killed two rabbits. They yielded nothing but bloodstains... and so I decided I wouldn't kill any more rabbits. After walking around a little more and noticing the repetition in scenery I decided to quit because I felt like I had mostly seen what the game had to offer. (I noticed someone else mentioned some sort of monster so I re-visited the game and did see, shoot, and apparently kill that).
I found the mouse movement to be overly sensitive, toning that down and smoothing it would have helped the experience a lot for me. The hunting itself was also a tad bland as an activity. It boiled down to me running (or walking) around like a madman until I saw something run away from me... then it's just a matter of following it until I figured out how close you can get to it's detection radius before it runs. Then shoot to kill.
Not that it needs to be "gamified" more or anything. It's just that the AI reactions and the skill required to use the bow was fairly straightforward and lacked depth.
I did like the weather effect transitions though. Especially when the wind goes calm after an intense session of rabbit murder.

I felt a bit lost, didn't know what to do, started hunting rabbits, got lost, found arrows, got lost, started hunting the beast, finally killed it after a long track. This is a great game, I loved it.
Great mood, I liked the final beast and its mysterious purring ! Too bad that the camera was so rigid it spoiled a bit the immersion
Very atmospheric, at first I was a bit puzzled as I wondered around but things started to pick up and like a warrior I was hunting the beast. It was very good indeed.
Very atmospheric game. The sounds, snow, misty vision, all of it adds up for a terrifying experience. Not sure if there was supposed to be anything to be afraid of? I was expecting to get killed by a giant wolf or something. Was the player the monster hunting bunnies? Don't know. Pretty cool game either way.
Great game! I found the bear or bears? You really have to look out for your prey in this game xD I found the bears just by seeing something in an glimpse of an eye on the horizon without really thinking it was actually something.
Thank you for making this game!
Cool :)
Beautifully minimalistic, great, tense mood and sound design. It maybe just me, but it was a little empty tough. Overall, great job!
Amazingly atmospheric.. I love this intimate feeling of loneliness.. lost in the blizzard, wind howls around me.. is it only wind?.. shall I follow the white rabbit or not? .. suddenly I spotted tracks in the snow.. too large for the rabbit... larger even than human footsteps...
human vs nature.
I love that minimalistic art style also. Great idea with using limited color palette. The only thing which feels a little bit off are those circular snow flakes :) (everything else is sharp, reminding me of paper cut-outs)
Thank you for this submission! :)
I love the regular switches between snowstorm and calm. The ambient sound was great, too. I walked around and shot a few creatures. I also found some interesting looking rocks. Apparently I didn't find the monster. But I enjoyed just exploring the world.
Excellent game, the mood was fantastic with the oppressive gale. The simple graphical style was pulled off well.
I was just about to get bored, feeling lost, until I saw something far off in the distance, oh look, a bunny! I chase it, but I can't catch up, I decide to shoot an arrow, and I get it!
I think you really did a good job setting up an atmosphere, and even though it felt slow at first, I think that makes actually catching prey that much more rewarding.
Nice entry! I really like the atmosphere of the game
