This game turned out amazing! As others have said the ski controls were very impressive and after dying once from running into a tree too fast I was going very slow the second time around appreciating the eerie night time atmosphere as I carefully picked my way through the trees.
And then the monster!!! That gave me a proper spook and made me panic and speed down the hill. I really enjoyed it especially as someone who doesn't enjoy jumpscares it felt like the perfect level of spook! Felt like the beast of the forest was coming to get me.
Also really appreciated the narrated ski lift intro! Was a nice touch!
I did find this to be a very loose connection to theme as the skis just seemed more like they were breaking then they were decaying. I think if I could see the skis visually rotting away that would've been a better connect. Or if the aspen monster lore that was established by the narration was about the monster being a decayed part of the aspen or even that the decayed remains of skiers feeds the aspens.
Awesome work overall though really clean controls most skiing or such mini games and such I've tried out have felt very clunky to use.
