How it fits the themes
One of the main mechanics is keeping the fire alive so that you don't freeze to death. The fire can go down quite fast due to the cold environment. Additionally, I plan to add reactions from the planet's creatures that result in them trying to put out the fire as they do not like the unnatural temperature.

I like the idea of a visual novel and having to take care of the fire between the other actions you have to do.

However, im not sure if others faced this but I did not have any audio when playing, I feel as if some audio was present it would have enhanced the experience. And the routes were very limiting/came to an end fairly quickly.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you! Yes, there was no audio. I forgot to make any until like an hour before I submitted lol, which I don't have enough experience to do so quickly. I am going to look at adding some once the voting is over - as well as adding the rest of the routes.

I'm glad you liked the idea!

Interesting concept. I like the idea of having to take care of the fire between actions. If you get those other scenes I'm sure it will be even better

This was a great experience, I love the originality! The art style is simple, but surprisingly fitting for the theme!

Notes:

Would've loved if there was some audio!
The text could have a basic typewriting effect, just to help add some character.

If every dialogue option was included here it would've been even better! WELL DONE!

Thank you! I'm glad you think the art fits, I quite enjoy drawing backgrounds. I plan to update the game once rating/judging is over to add the rest of the routes, and I will look at implementing your feedback!
