Graphics and especially fog looks really cool, but that all that I can say. You definitely need to give some explanation how to play, it's hard to understand how to light fire, why fog appear or how to chop tree

@team-on Added some instructions in the description. Also, it is simply a very foggy forest. :smirk:
Cool game! I thought I was going to struggle to keep all the fires lit before I lit all 5 of them but I managed it! Graphics were nicely done, I love the look of the character, trees and fog. The only thing that annoyed me was when I pressed the wrong key for an item, it feels like it takes forever to change. Enjoyed it, thanks for posting!
Enjoyed graphics and overall atmosphere - a feeling of danger and loneliness. BTW too long animations ruin flow a bit. Anyway great job!
Very atmospheric, the fog is cool. Always waiting for something. Finding a fire is difficult. Interesting to play.
@albionbrown @alexbljack @omickron Thanks for the great feedback!
The fog really helps a lot with the atmosphere we were going for, danger and loneliness was indeed part of that original idea. It is interesting to hear that you can actually feel this. I wasn't sure whether we succeeded there.
Any you are right. The animations should indeed have been a lot faster. Oh, well, something for next time...
Very well polished and nice. Great atmosphere and graphics. I sort of wish I could have gotten a view of the whole forest once I lit all of the fires. Well done :)
Amazing game! I love the effort you put into animation and sound design. The end result is really polished!
The really fog effects are really cool! And the animations are great. I love the ambience of this game
This game has a lovely atmosphere to it with the ambient noise, sound effects, graphics and music. A really nice, chill game and the fog effects looked impressive, I liked how it cleared as you ran through it and lit the fires. The animation for swapping items could be a bit faster, it was frustratingly slow but that wasn't too much of an issue with the pace of the game. I played with a controller and I expected "A" to be the interact button for everything (chopping, picking up, lighting, placing logs etc.), currently RB is used for some things but this isn't communicated in the UI. I'm nit-picking though, it's a really really nice game overall and one you should be proud of :) Great job!
Some really good things in this: The animations, the cute fog, the 3d models and their style, and the concept. I enjoyed the fire-finding device. I think the main drawbacks for me was the speed of changing between items and also I felt a little lost and so the idea of running around to find the fires again to ensure they stay alight was tempting. Would have been nice if the fire sound could have been a little more accurate so you could use it as a guide too.
realy cool fog effects nice animation
didn't have enough time to play throu :sob:
hob you can get 20 rating would be a shame if you don't
Although I would say that this is more of an experience than a game, it was very enjoyable for me, and I thought the tree chopping animation/sound effect combo was quite a nice touch. Some atmospheric music would have been nice, but overall, this is a great thing you have made!
