I didn't understand how to drink fresh water from the inventory. Tried to drink sea water and Paula has died. So I had to eat her, muahahahaha.

Oh god it was all kumbaya then everyone but Anna died in the last few hours of the final night of dehydration. Anna is going to be haunted for life.

I won with 4 survivors, yay! Ended up mostly shaking trees, haha. Pretty cool mechanics, they work quite well.

The Jeff is an autocannibal.

The game has a really cool vibe, and it's fun to explore all the functions. It's good that you kept the interface informative and simple. The controls could use some work though (especially because the framerate on my computer is quite crappy, which makes 3D camera movement with the mouse particularly annoying...). Also, not being able to deselect someone (or did I just not figure out how?) kind of bothered me. I would have liked a more zoomed out overview. Otherwise, nice graphics, simple but entertaining gameplay, perfect for a compo game! Great job! :)

I didn't win, but I got close both times I played! I like the different actions you can make the characters take, it adds a lot to the overall feel of the game. I wish it played more like a strategy game where you use the mouse to maneuver around the map and click and drag to select which character you want to move. In this I felt like the camera was fighting me more than working with me. Also there's a couple glitches where the characters fall through the floor when they die, your character gets stuck doing a task forever if they don't finish it by the time the next day rolls around, and a couple smaller things with how things move. I think you did a good job overall though!

Uhh, my thing wasn't supposed to post three times? And I can't delete them as far as I can see :sweat: Sorry about that...
