It took a little while to get my bearings, but the quirky art and music made me keep at it. I had a bit of an epiphany once I realised I could use any material in any slot. I had an axe with a wooden blade and a stone shaft, and another axe with a stone blade and wooden shaft. Depending on the tree I faced, I could choose to be a rebel or a traditionalist. I like it!
I tried to stick with it, but was overwhelmed. Hiding myself and the bonfire behind small barrels and attacking the shadow creature with the spear worked well the first night, but by the second I had no chance. This happened multiple times - in the end I never got through that fateful darkness. Really nice vibes, really hard on the difficulty, but the end result is seriously impressive for a jam game. You managed to do a lot with the simple art. Nicely done!
