You know that i love survival games and i loved this game's mood.

Really love the atmosphere! Those eyes in the darkness are adding up to the art style and mood. Great job!

Very cool art style. I think there is a glitch where if you go in full screen the ingredients disappear. Overall, cool concept and great game!

Really liked the graphics and bouncy movements. Fire is very picky! :)

Controls take time to learn, and it's complicated to cook stuff. A lot of inventory manipulations. Maybe can be a bit streamlined.

Really nice game with a great atmosphere and some cool mecanics implemented!

This was a very fun game to play, the only suggestion I would have would be to decrease the cooking times a small amount because I found that when making dishes like beef wellington the fire got dangerously close to going out by the time I was finished. However, the longer cooking times also adds a nice urgency and difficulty to the game, so take my suggestion at a grain of salt.

I survived the night! The athmosphere and graphics were superb. The idea was well-executed, but I wish there was a way to speed up time. I also wish the menu music continued in the game, now I only heard few seconds of the track. Good job 👍

Nice idea and really well made game! I'm just sad I couldn't find any butter to finish my last recipe

@geryon-games Thank you for playing! Unfortunately yes I had some scaling/space issues with the ingredients.

@seagull Thanks for playing! I just wish I had more time to spend on the inventory, as yea it is fairly clunky at the moment!

chiyeon 2020-04-20 17:02

@nate-wert Thanks for playing! Nono, your suggestion is *very* valid here. I had more plans to make the player do more, *while* having to cook as well, forcing the player to switch back and forth between the two time-oriented tasks, but only cooking made its way into the game. So I hoped the player would search for ingredients for the other dishes while cooking one, or simply and unfortunately (as many do) wait.

@joonamo Thanks for playing! I probably should have made it play throughout! I wish i could have made one more song for gameplay.

chiyeon 2020-04-20 17:22

@2kah Thank you for playing! There should have been butter on the left side by the river, sorry you couldn't finish!

The eyes weren't so scary after I learned they weren't attached to anything :)

nekoruma 2020-04-21 01:52

good job , i liked the graphics is very pretty!!

tom-kun 2020-04-21 05:24

Great Concept! I like the atmosphere of the game. Consider lower the wait time of cooking since player can get bored after a while! Congrats on finishing your game!

mehrdadsh 2020-04-21 12:22

this is some nice artwork

greendinogames 2020-04-21 16:09

Really cool idea :D I like the games humor and gameplay!

bereg 2020-04-21 22:31

I like the art and lighting, it sets the mood properly. Overall the game looks polished with all these icons and inventory screens. Nice job. Not my preferred genre but great game.

Nice spin on the fire theme. I really like the graphics and the gameplay idea. The game crashed a few times while I was cooking, and I found myself waiting a lot for the cooking to be over. But overall its a very good and polished game.

Okay so... while making the game I used to browse the feed to check what people were doing, and I saved some that I just HAD to try later... your game was one of them! When I saw the screenshots, the concept... omg, everything! I new I just HAD to try your game!!!

AND IT IS SO CUTE I love the style, the character walking if just cute, the concept is amazing... I love all of it, I would play your games for hours if I could!!! I would totally download and play for mobile, HINT HINT hahahahahah
