I loved managing the food bars - As well as picking who to get rid of, depending on how much food they had - it was pretty chaotic and fitting of the "sacrifices have to be made" theme!

I finally died on day 97 with the "get rid of the hungry people" tactic :yum:
For how to improve the game slightly, maybe having a list of the people who have died? It would be funny to see how many people I went through and sacrificed to keep "the group" alive :laughing:
With expanding it further, giving visible effects of health and hunger to each of the characters would have really been good for game polish, stuff like them looking worse for wear when they're really low - (it was also make it easier to know which ones to sacrifice :smirk:)
It would have been neat with a "heal" mechanic too similar to the "feed" one by using a medicine resource - This would be an improvement on the original system of saying "You found a medkit" and applying it when it could actually instead be individually used and ransacked by bandits! :house_abandoned:
Along with [my team](https://discordapp.com/invite/whalesandgames) thank you for making this! It's a really good game :thumbsup:
