Very cool game, a bit confusing at first tho. I still don't understand a couple aspects of the board but I enjoyed playing it quite a bit and will probably play it some more!

How long can you survive? Share your scores!
I survived 43 days but then I ran out of food.
Took me a second to realize how to play it, but once I figured it out I had lots of fun. I felt some real dread once I realized that I couldn't delay the end of the game anymore, so you did a really good job with the theme. I'm not sure if you'd do more with this game, but I'd love to play it some more if you ever update it!
Inovative, hadn't seen much card games!
Wow. This is a really cool deckbuilder! I was able to survive for 37 days... the Bible is really OP. It's pretty fun!
Wow this is fantastic. A bit daunting initially, but once the game systems click it starts to shine. It would be great to be able to see the cards that make up your deck. Or was that deliberate? We made a card game for our submission too, and ours has the same problem! I'm overall really impressed
Survived 154 days!
Felt like I could go on forever, only died due to misclicking uncancelleable daggers and double clicking end turn :(
Great game! although i only survived 25 days I love it!
Great entry! I would like to see it as full game :) Good Job!
Ok, I can feel the slay the spire vibe in this, and it is awesome I am not too sure of what some of the cards do tho, like this one. Captura de Tela 2022-04-05 às 06.13.27.png
Glad you all like it!
@popesp Being able to see the contents of your deck would have been nice, I guess we just didn't get to it within the time limit of LD. The starting deck is: 3x Granola Bar, 2x Evade, Flee, Wooden Stick, Memento, Patience, Rummage
@velvetlobster The Memento card doesn't do anything. It's just a useless card in the starter deck.
Oh got it! I really like this one either way
I really like this! The best day I could get to was day 13, although I want to come back to it and really try to get further. The only thing I would add is maybe a sound notifier when you try to play a card and don't have any energy left. I thought I broke the game a couple times because I didn't realize I was out of energy. Also a way to cancel cards, because multiple times I accidentally clicked the wrong card because I didn't realize you can only put equipment on the left side to keep.
Nice adaption of the theme, and interesting to see a card game in Ludum Dare.
good game. I'm not sure if I had figured out the mechanism yet.
The artwork is excellent! The aesthetic of the monsters, together with the bloodied gameboard, create a very eerie experience. I don't tend to enjoy deck building games, but I enjoyed your entire nonetheless :)
You could have used a more appropriate font than the default one, in my opinion. Something just as easy to read, but still stylized. Or maybe just for the buttons and card titles. There's plenty of free fonts out there, and they aren't that hard at all to add in. See what you think!
Thanks for the game :)
Finally, got how to lose. Memento card could be a nice easter egg or something, like when you collected some of them, like revealing some narrative on what-why. Anyway, this card game is quite interesting, maybe a bit complicated but there's an innovation to work with.
Nice card game. I don't know how you managed to do all of this. It's really impressive. The art is great. The biggest downside to me is the lack of music, which makes a huge difference. Other than that, great game :)
Really unique idea for a survival game, I'm usually not much into deck builders but this one was actually fun for me! I think just some more sound effects would go a long way to strengthen the mood of the game, for example a sound effect when you meet a doctor or when you alert a monster. Tremendous job!
Very good, very well executed game, the game design is solid, had a lot of fun with it! It's a survival game sure but it's a card based one so it's a little more innovative, nice idea!
The infections cards are the WORST I made it to day 59!
I survived until day 32! You kind of get into a good rhythm of maintaining your food and health but eventually you get a lot of monsters you can't avoid, but I like how you have to adapt with what you got. Infection slowly killed me.
That was fun. Well designed. My favourite part was the neighbour effects of monsters and how the monsters preserve card history as they change. That would allow for a very evolving game mechanic in the future if you extended this. Nice work!
A cool game, I enjoyed it a lot. I don't have much criticism as it is really well done for the amount of time allowed for the jam, so great job!
Nice, I do like card games! The art is great, and the mechanics are good.
More varied cards would be good, as it does get a little repetitive (future suggestion, of course - current variation is _plenty_ for a game made in a weekend). You might consider making the artwork for wandering and hunting monsters more distinct - more than once I go caught out thinking a hunter was a wanderer! :-(
Some music for ambience would be a great addition. The effects already in there are good as-is, and fit the card game genre.
Great work!
The artwork and card design creates a very good imagery. You can get a good sense for mood even though there's no background music or VO. Strategy survival card game is neat concept. Its like post-apocalyptical solitaire! Took me a bit of time to get feel for the cards at first cause board starts populated but overall you learn pretty could. Well done. For the horde!
