Interesting concept. I enjoy the rough MS-paint art style. 

I think the progression could have been made more clear with hints or dialogue. I had to read the comments on the game to understand what to do. 

The world is quite expansive which is good, although I was confused where I was supposed to go. I also think the coldness theme could have been used more other than the snow.

I like the art and setting, and its a very fun concept for a game.

Thanks for the feedback! 

I wanted to make a more intuitive progress system, but due to the fact that I was in a hurry, it turned out that it turned out. So, I wanted to make more one great gameplay element about cold, but don't done it with same reason

Well, you got me confused there, that's for sure. To be frank I get the B-Game aesthetic you're going for, and I like it, but in some places I'm not sure if you really intended for this aspect to get wrong or if you just hoped that your aesthetic would just make it okay.

I'll admit, I never managed to find the key. I played for a long time then gave up, then started it back up, redid everything with the armchair thing you said, then still couldn't progress, then the game crashed.

In short, I really like your aesthetic and your mood. It was a good idea for a game, but aside from the fact it's snowing outside it doesn't have much to do with the theme of coldness. The cold is merely a detail in the story and it doesn't seem that important in the core of the game itself. The core is just this silly tavern and the intentional B-game style and abstract reasoning.

For the first of the main things in progress you need to sit on the armchair for a while. If you have other progress problems, I recommend to examine items in the tavern and outside. 

So, I was planing to do one nice cold gameplay element, but my friend set me up in the end and I didn't finish it. 

Thank you for the feedback!

I have not rated the game yet. I'm having trouble progressing. I got to the room behind the door and the man, but there seemed to be nothing there. I had some camera issues as well. How do I continue?

I'll give you a hint: armchair. This bug I will fix after jam, because now can't. If you have a bug with camera - just go straight down

Odd. I did pick up the backpack, and when I go down, it says "There's no reason to leave the tavern"
I'm still lost haha

I recommend to examine environment, it's all that I can say
