A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Aesthetics - 3

Gameplay -3

Engagement - 3

I really like the idea behind this project. I think location-based stuff is really neat. 

I ranked 3 for Aesthetics because I felt like the character and world were disconnected.  Maybe a character model who felt like they were ready to brave any weather that came their way would feel better, or even just putting a house model nearby could help sell the character being there.  Or even just having a light orb instead of a human character.  I think the focus of your idea is on the weather and the environment and the character distracted me from that.

Gameplay and Engagement landed on a 3 because I couldn't get the local address to work even after signing up for an API key and trying a few times to delete the old key and import mine.  I hit enter and saw a debug message at the top, but I never got it to work, unfortunately.  

Pairing up with a musician to do some minimal music changes that are dependent on the weather could have added to the engagement a bit too, but I know jams are tricky with finding team members and finding time.

Overall, it's a neat concept!  I'm going to try to get it to work for me a few more times. Thanks for making it and sharing!
