Very nice game

Turned out cool =)

Very atmospheric! I played through once, but didn’t fully grasp the gameplay loop. Found a bug—you can drag items from the prep inventory bag back into itself, and they’ll duplicate.

Good job! =)

Great game! Cant believe it was made this quickly. Fighting could use some work, but otherwise all around giga-solid

This game has a great atmosphere! I found the text a bit hard to read at times. The small white font an a black background was making my tired eyes bug out. I didn't think to take a weapon at first and died by the first rat. Once I got the hang of things I really enjoyed this. I don't think much work needs to be done to expand this to a full game. Nice work!

The first screen with the camp is charming, and the step-by-step interaction with the house is cool as well. The combat mechanics are a bit frustrating — I didn’t fully understand the idea behind the chance-based damage.

@jackshadow Hello! Thank you for the feedback!

Under the hood, characters have attributes like strength, accuracy, and athletics — they are used to calculate chances. It’s supposed to be a simple battle system, but without enough balancing, it didn’t turn out how I expected.

Great game! I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and the overall quality of the game. She's really cool! The combat system needs to be improved, as it was sometimes difficult to understand how the damage chance worked. But overall, the game left a positive impression.

the game is addictive, but for some reason it restarts :(

Had a blast playing and exploring this game's world. My run ended with me left with a character who simply didn't have enough energy to descend to the final room. Bookmarked it—hope to play the post-jam version!

Really interesting and atmospheric game! There's a great element of strategy managing each character's health and energy, and the game has a great moody, isolating vibe. It felt great delving a little deeper each time. I also got the impression there were multiple possible paths to the end, because I didn't even visit all the rooms.

I think you could add some more levels of gameplay onto the base strategy, though. The battles, for example, were nothing but health checks where you clicked in a menu repeatedly. You could also do a lot more with the adventure game-styled items like the grappling hook - that was the standout moment for me.

Nice interesting game. I get some vibes like from "this war of mine" game.

Super cool and engaging game with an amazing athomsphere! I think a version were the levels were randomized each day would be awesome but getting farther into the same house was great too.

I think balance wise there need to be more of a benefit to having more characters, the all had very similar stats and energy would refill anyways so it seemed more like a way to get more hp in the current version.

Очень крутая игра, я дошел до бункера спустя пару попыток. Мне понравилась идея и реализация игры, кроме того, что игроку никак не указывается на то, что ему требуется энергия, чтобы войти в проход за шкафом. Если у тебя не оказывается энергии, игра указывает на это, ты ешь батончик, но все равно не можешь войти туда. Но самое обидное, что и на следующий день игра так же не даст войти в проход. Кроме этой мелочи игра огонь

Tried twice, but still did't beat. Anyway I got a lot of fun while exploring this. Also, it's hard to see HP Good and addictive entry

Everything’s great overall. The only drawback for me is the combat system — it basically boils down to attack–skip, attack–skip, and just waiting for the enemy to die.

Wow, really cool and atmospheric game! Kinda reminds me of "this war of mine". Would have love to continue playing!
