Dying in the Snow by Palmish

[raw]
made by Palmish for LD36 (COMPO)
A simple text-based survival game

A nomad family in ancient times fight to survive the winter with nothing but a reindeer and primitive tools.

I didn't put enough time and effort into it to do much with it, unfortunately, but it is almost playable!

It is a web game. Only uses jQuery.

Update: Fixed Safari support

Update: I am continuing development for while. Play the latest here: http://fpalm.se/amru
I'm adding new code to the same repo linked below, on the master branch (not the compo branch)

The visuals are really good for a text game, but I couldn't figure out what exactly the goal was...

i like the idea and execution, the very clean and minimalist graphic and also the subtle animation somewhat relaxing
very awesome entry!

I like the game, but it is difficult to tell if I'm 'getting' anywhere - is there a goal?

I thought that the goal was explicit in the title- at least, that is what I set out to do and accomplished. So be it.

Great little game. Tone reminded me of "Gods will be Watching." More!

I like the overall mood of it. A nice story to complement the game could make it pretty good.

It looks like a good start, but the lack of variety made it get boring fast. If it were fleshed out more, I'm sure it could be an interesting game!

Also, I found that sometimes it got stuck on a blank screen and you had to click on the area where text would go before it would progress.

Anyway, congrats for your work!

Nice concept and playing experience is good.. Especially the minimal graphics and day-night changes are nice.

If i click then some gap and then i am allowed to play again, these has to be mentioned/shown in ui to player that your action is processed.. Every time i play i end up loosing 2 or 3 guys less rations.
Potential for this game is very good, on expanding the game design and ai.

The game is okay, but it really needs a end goal.

The hand-drawn graphics look very nice and I like the day-night cycle.

Sounds would have been nice to support the atmosphere.

Nice minimalist artwork. Its a bit aimless, with not much to do. Very dark brooding mood. As a swede too (http://williame.github.io/LD/Map/?event=ludum-dare-36), I kind of know the feeling you are channeling here :)

Quite difficult but the overall ambiant is nice
