Where is the medkit?
Really nice FX, it feels like it's heavy raining out there. Also I love the house, I wish I could live there, but it looks strange a bathroom with only a bath? What was thinking the architect?! Great idea to add a Reset button. Besides that, I don't understand how to play. Power gets down, family get ill, they sleep, the heavy rain... it is distressing! You have to finish the game to be able to save the family!

@igorsgames I'm afraid there's still no proper medkit, what you saw was probably the low health warning. Healing (a character skill...if I'd had the time to implement skills, that is) or a first aid cabinet were on the TO-DO list.
@julian-perez Thanks! Well, I decided to simplify a bit the house plan to limit the number of activities per room. And you're totally in point about finishing the game. I will definitely try to!
The idea would be that by balancing all the needs (by taking characters from place to place), and ensuring you won't run out of power (or, if you do, do so just before finishing the game, I guess) you'd be able to keep their health/mood in good state before the electricity is restored. That would be the win condition, but I like to think of the opposite situation, where one or all of the characters lose their minds and it is all back to prehistory again.
Nice idea that of managing the resources of a house in order to continue living our "21th century lifestyle". Too bad you could not finish it in time :(
But don't worry, underestimate the size of a project (specially for a jam) is something that has happened to us all. Better luck in the next LD!
PD: I hope to play the complete version of the game someday!
