I loved the sound design! Especially the random sounds and phrases by John when walking really helped build the immersion. I also like the use of low-poly models for the less important details like the trees, but using more detailed models for important locations and items, while still keeping the low-poly aesthetic :D One thing I would like to see is my own location on the map, I know that's not really in line with the theme of map and compass navigation, but this might help players who got lost (like me :p). Overall though, an amazing entry!

Developer

Thanks a lot for the praise I'm delighted that you liked the game. The location of the player can be implemented but as you said it is a game where its main challenge is the navigation.

If you liked it, there will be an episode 2 soon. Or if you want something better play Firewatch or The Long Dark. This game was a small fusion of these two masterpieces that I love.

The writing and voice acting were great! It feels pretty polished. Great job!

Developer

Thank you very much happy you liked it :D

I think some said it already but this feels like a snowy version of Firewatch, I really liked it. Pretty amazing for a jam game, keep it up!

Developer

Thank you very much :D

Loving it so far.  Didn't get very far, still on Chapter one, but as first impressions, this game is amazing.  The voice acting is amazing for a jam. One thing I was annoyed about tho was the sound of him checking the map after a few seconds and it playing it after. Apart from that, it was good. 

Developer

Glad you like it, I would love to hear more when you finish it (it's not that long). Yeah the audio in general had some issues but I did not have the time to fix everything. Maybe I'll get back to it at sometime.

Love the scenery and I was way too entertained by the zoom function! haha I got a bit lost in the beginning, but once daylight hit, I was fine! Fantastic voice acting too! Great job!

Developer

Thank you very much, glad you liked the game and the zoom function. I also played with it a lot, even though it doesn't serve a real purpose to the gameplay :D

That was really cool. I liked how the story unfolded through the phone conversations. The voice over was a nice addition. I don't think I've seen VO in a jam game before. My only feedback is that it wasn't always obvious where to go. In Chapter 3, I went walking a long time and eventually just reloaded my checkpoint so I could get back on track. Other than that though, this was a cool experience.

Developer(+1)

Yes the game could be described as 'navigational'. The main point/mechanic is to try and navigate with the map and the compass. In my first jam I had VO too, if you want to check it out it's called Present From Death. Thank you for playing and for your kind words :D

I enjoy playing. I didn't understand the final. Is he a really going to murder that guy and how this case is related to his wife's death?

Developer

MAJOR SPOILER ALERT: (watch a playthrough or replay the game if you want to find out yourself)

He is the serial killer who takes revenge from the alcoholics because his wife was killed by one. He was up on the mountain trying to cover up his murders by saying that he killed the serial killer and have Ella as his witness.

Try using the map and the compass to navigate. If you want you can check out a playthrough to see more about the game. Thank you for playing :D

Wow... really professional job.. Voices are great and the atmosphere of the game is great.. I didn't finish yet.. but I will do.. Good Job

Developer

Thank you very much for playing and for your kind words. Glad you like it :D

This is amazing work especially the dubbing! Though I was trapped in the dark at first. The reason may be that I heard my step sound on the ground so I thought I was moving in the dark (I can't see anything at that time), but the fact is I was facing against a small mountain and walking in the same position. Anyway, I found the cabin finally haha.

Developer

Hahaha great, when you finish it tell me what you thought :D

How did you manage to get Riddick as your voice actor? ;)

Developer

Hahaha didn't get Riddick but the guy was awesome for real :D

I wasn't able to get far as it was extremely dark, but what from I've seen so far it is really good!

Developer

Yeah I don't know why to some pcs it's very dark. If you want you can retry and just head wherever you see snow. The cabin is not very far. Thank you for playing!

This is such a good game and the voice acting is on point

Didn't get to far but form what I played it was super cool. Kinda reminded me of FireWatch, also great voice acting.

Developer

Thank you very much :D

Wow, this is such a good nod to FireWatch that it feels like a prototype for the sequel! GREAT job!

(Also, "John" has an AMAZING voice.)

Developer

Thank you very much, yeah he is the best, he will be in the sequel for sure when I get around and start it. Thank you for playing! :D

I'm excited to play this since I love the Three Sisters and enjoy visiting the area!

Developer(+1)

Great it took a lot of research to find a place in order to be cold, have a cave, a village and water nearby. It is in no way a replica of the real mountain, but I hope.you have a good time :D

This was intriguing!! I am definitely interested to see how this story carries on and evolves!! There were a few little audio issues and for some reason I could float sometimes but I still enjoyed this a lot! 

Developer

Thanks a lot glad you liked it. I'll try and fix everything I can but this was for a jam so the time was limited. Great video by the way :D

Looks neat. It reminds me of the game "Firewatch" , specially the dialogue that take place between Ella and John , it really feels like a bond is being created. Overall its a pretty good result for such a short period of development time. However somethings could be improved like this one funny bug were you could walk off the watch tower and keep floating forever and the UI overall needs a little work around. Also it is pretty easy to get lost. I can see potential in this game and it could become a gem if you keep working on it and polishing it.

Developer

Thank you very much you are absolutely right about the Firewatch element. I tried to make something between that and The Long Dark, adding a survival element. A lot could be added/changed but overscoping is never a good thing. I would love more survival elements. Glad you liked it :D


PS I have absolutely no idea why the tower thing happens, I'm breaking my mind and the thing I ended up believing that causes it, is the animation not following the rigidbody gravity.
