This game was very cozy! I did not get it at first, but it turns out I was roasting a marshmallow and could not do anything else XD! And like the other person said, the cat takes too long to wake up, but ig that's cats for you. Also if you don't have any logs, and can only eat marshmallows to warm up you freeze faster than you can warm up.

Stunning! This is perfect given the time frame, and both a lovely idea and a lovely execution.
I would really enjoy if you added more decorations and a little more open-endedness, this is a fun experience that I think is worthwhile :)
I do have a few minor notes in case you do want to keep working on it, but it really is great as is...
1. I was a bit confused on why I couldn't leave before realizing you can't leave while roasting a marshmellow
2. I didn't understand quite how roasting marshmellows works right away, and it took me about 4 minutes to understand that you can roast them faster with a bigger fire
3. Fishing was not immediately intuitive; I lost a couple before realizing all you had to do was click the rod while the fish is in the green area.
4. I'm not exactly sure how warmth works; I know that eating a fully roasted marshmellow works, but it seems like I got big increases (even bigger than from eating a marshmellow) at other times that I couldn't explain, but was very thankful for...
Thanks for the feedback! The things which you stated in the notes were on my mind aswell but i was not able to think of a intuitive way to show those things like the marshmallow, fishing guide , etc as spamming text like " You cannot do X while X etc" would have been redundant and an information overload on the player. If you have any suggestions on how i should display that , feel free to let us know!
A very relaxing game. I'm not sure I really understood the weather mechanic, but it certainly looks nice :D
The best game ambiance, the music fits the art style 500%, I felt like I was really there. Only the cat just won’t wake up 😄 also i noticed a bug with the campfire, if you click on it without having a log, you can’t exit to outside, or this bug was only on me?
