Hey, I played your game and didn't quite understand the goal. I liked the combination of old-school RPG fighting with an open survival world. The graphics are excellent!

I saw an objective to collect food, wood, and stones, and I wandered around fighting trees, squirrels, and rocks. The controls were intuitive, though for the fight I wish there was an indication when I'd selected the "enemy" like in old school games. At first, I didn't realize I needed to choose the enemy to battle, and after doing a few fights, I would forget to select and wonder why the animation wasn't activating.

What is the goal of the game?

I collect food but still die from hunger.

Is there a way to use the wood or food that I collect?\

Thank you for sharing your game

@saoi-games Here's quite a late answer, but here goes.

Yes, it is possible to use wood and the food to stay alive. We planned on being 3 for this project, but could only be 2 and we didn't have much time on top of that, so nothing is quite obvious in the game. The log in the top right of the screen is a crafting menu, that displays a fireplace when clicked on. If you have the required materials to build it, you can place it in the world. Clicking on the fireplace consumes food and replenishes hunger!

We wanted some more things to do and some day and night cycles, and a score based on days survived. But this is sadly only how far we managed to get.
