This was really cool! One of my favorites for sure. The jumpscare got me, was not expecting that. The climbing was good, maybe could have bit more variation with some qte's here and there (Maybe you are about to fall and need to do the qte). Overall, really nice job!

This was so creepy and cool, and the climbing mechanic was really original and creative! I got really sucked into it, and the atmosphere was tense and dreadful (in a positive way) the whole time. Great job!!

It is really unique game with well-voiced story, stylized look and a little bit of horror on top of that. Great work in such short period of time!

Fantastic game! Such a unique concept. Love the cool, chilly and calm atmosphere which is the opposite in a lot of horror tropes. The voice acting is great, very compelling and gave a lot of personality to the characters. The heartbeat is a nice touch and the sound design is excellent, the whispers really made my skin crawl. 

Amazing work, truly a testament that a great game with essentially a solid story, simple mechanics and good design can be created in such a short timeframe.

Great gameplay and visuals, really liked this game.

Amazing! The ice pick mechanic was fun and well-implemented! I definitely got a jump from the chase section. My only criticism would be that there was only one chase section.

You absolutely nailed the Story, Sound, and Aesthetics! Well done!

Damn this was really well made I really liked the originally of the ice people. The ice pick mechanics were also very nice. Well done!

I got spooked. 10/10 visuals. I like the trees a lot.

I liked the detail of heartbeat sound when you go near ice statues.

I liked the voice acting very very much.

Thank you for volume control in settings.

And thank you for giving in-game instructions on what buttons to press, it really helps when you aren't used to playing a lot of games.

Edit:
I forgot to mention the ice pick mechanics were also very good. I tried to phase through the floor and couldn't. 10/10

Cool game. Really nice visuals and a great story!

As another said, I very much got Firewatch vibes!! Fantastic work, I'd love to see an expanded version of this game.

This game is amazing! It creates a very good atmosphere of outdoor and later more and more a horror feeling. It scares me, but the horror doesnยดt just come from jumpscares, it comes from the very well designed story. Even the way you are telling your story is really impressive.
Again: Great game!

Great game, the story really kept me interested and the ice people's whispers added tension as you move through the game.

The ice people reminded me of the weeping angels from doctor who.

This game is fantastic. It got really tense when the ice people started making noises. The first time I got jumpscared was terrifying.

The story and game mechanics were great and overall the game was really polished! I only found like 2 bugs. The first one is the z-fighting on the radio. The other one had to do with the axe and the prerecorded messages. For some reason, after playing a message, when I swung the axe, it would let me play the message again. Not sure why this happened but it's just a minor detail I found and isn't a problem at all.

Wow. This is a really great short story, walking/climbing simulator game in the vain of Firewatch. It gave me similar feelings to Firewatch. Really great job guys! Wow.

Woah, easily one of the best submissions of the Jam. When I saw your screenshots earlier on and saw Ice Picks, I thought, what an excellent idea. 

The game certainly had me on the edge of my seat from balancing across the drop to the ice people creeping up on me. 

Having the ability to save and load would have been nice but I'm sure that will be a future addition after the jam.


Great work

Excellent! Great implementation of mechanics with some spooky sections too!

Easily one of the best submissions I've seen so far. It didn't go all that hard into the typical horror tropes but I suppose the story concept meant it didn't need to.
