Wow that was dark. You nailed the atmosphere, for sure. I really liked what the people around the campfire had to say.

Wow, great job! This is one of my favourite entries so far! Everything played really nicely together, the art, the music, the dark atmosphere, the topic. Really nailed the theme with this one, too! It's not hard or complicated at all, really rather simple, but still entertains a lot. I made it to day 23! :D
Great game, nice job!
Best mood in a game so far this Ludum. :) Great job.
Great job, it was an interesting concept but it did get kind of boring after not too long. I wish there were some kind of upgrades you could get or something else besides just food. Or if there were other things you needed to do besides just find food.
It would be cool if there were other bunkers you could move to since your walking range is only so long. I also think there should be some kind of negative for losing 1 or 2 people instead of just making it easier (I got to day 34 by purposely killing 2 people right away, I wanted to see if something happened after a month). Also that your sprite and the dialog should change depending on who was still alive.
You really nailed the somber tone and the theme here! Your graphics looked great, the music was a great addition and I didn't experience any issues! I managed to get to Day 17! Great job!
@jogy34 Hey! Thank you for your feedback :) You are right, losing family members making things easier, and it's kind of unbalanced. I like the idea of moving into another bunker. We've got plenty of other features in mind too, to make gameplay less repetitive - like having 3 different characters (1 for each family member) with different abilities. But that's what we were able to manage, keeping things stable and releasing gameplay build on time :)
Wow, the lighting and everything makes this soo atmospheric. Having to eventually find food for that same day feels really tense. I also like how you can still see your footsteps from days prior, and the feeling of finding your own footsteps a ways out, meaning there is likely no moor food to be found there. Really nice entry!
You really nailed the mood and atmosphere. I liked the empty feel of the map. While it does make it easier to let members of the party die off, it's still feels tragic to find that there was a crate right next to your base in an unexplored direction.
The graphics, music and sight control set up the mood well. It is a smart choice to have the footprint system in game, to help player manage their route. I wish I could choose who to be starved and maybe have a 'extra' food when someone is dead. It can set up a darker atmosphere but overall it is still a solid entry.
The music and lighting really set up the mood well. The text at the end of each day also helps in that regard. I also love how the footsteps from previous day are always visible, it helps to set the mood as well as help players to know where they have already explored. Amazing work :smile:
A+ on atmosphere! I found the best strategy was to purposefully let your family starve day 1, then keep all the food for yourself. Very realistic and dark take on the apocalypse...
Including footsteps is a really good idea and brings a all lot of strategies possible.
Nice mood too
Nice entry 👍
I really enjoyed this one! It had a really nice atmosphere. I really liked the fact that the game got naturally more difficult as you go on. I do wish there were more things to collect, like an upgrade to make you run faster, or increase your light. Overall, nice game, enjoyed it a lot!
The mood is very nice. The footsteps are a nice addition to avoid getting lost. I like that the lightning is bright enough to see, but still sets the atmosphere.
Great game. I liked the addition of the footsteps so I could optimize paths to try and get further. I assume it was meant to keep the family alive with you. I did not.
Wow, great atmosphere in this game! I love the lighting effects, especially the way everything casts shadows, and leaving footprints is a great touch. The music is atmostpheric, and the mood is very grim. Great entry!
Great game the mood is fantastic. I actually really love the way you handle the shadows for areas outside the vision of the character. Solid entry, nice work!
Incredible entry, I like how it's like the excursion side of 60 seconds rather than the bunker management. You should continue working on this as so much could be added to make it a full game, great job!
