Neat concept! I like the RPG aspect of the game quite a bit. That was a good execution on the various encounters. I dig the art style with cozy vibes (until it got dark, which I loved how you muted the audio in the night. spooky!)
Found some recipes but could not find all the materials to be able to craft anything. I was excited about the idea of crafting in this survival situation but was bummed that I could't. Maybe if the random encounters were weighted to offer some balance.
All the best and grats on the submission!
