Sadly I could not run this game for too long since it had very high RAM-Usage but nonetheless it was interesting.

@cirnomouto, thank you for pointing this out. I've updated the game. Now it should use less than 200 mb.
Calling `play_later()` for every sound on every frame wasn't correct thing to do...
Nice Game, but i thing it need a bit more Gameplay. I like the art and mood of the Game. Make more Games Sorry for my bad englisch

That was a very interesting way of telling a story! I do have some critique on the medium though, the sound of logs being added was louder than the voice, and in general they the narrator spoke pretty quietly. Also, keeping the fire alive was a trivial task, and didn't really add much. Perhaps if there wasn't any fail state, there could be some actually interesting choice to the fire? Maybe there could be more connection between the story and the fire management?
The actual story was cool though, and I congratulate you for trying a new medium! The narration added so much to the game, and I love the illustration of the scene and fire. There's a beautiful style going on here, with the stylised menu and art! It was an interesting story, the sort of warm tale you'd hear whilst huddled around a fire. Overall a very beautiful game, I just wish it was longer! :heart:
That was really fun to play with, though as people have said above, the log sound needed to be a touch quieter. Absolutely loved it :D
Nice artwork and mood. Linux version ran fine on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS system.
I think the story went a bit too fast - maybe add pauses in between sentences? Other than that it was a nice experience!
