Interesting take on a classic game. I had a problem managing the caravan as I couldn't feed my walkers or really do anything in the game. It didn't feel like time was passing as I was playing. Overall, it isn't awful but it needs work. I really enjoyed the art though, it was a nice change

The game look fun, but, i think its a lttle cofusing, i did not know ate first how to give them food, and they keep dying by cold, but food and drink did not keep them warm. The scenario is great but i think u could make the caravan and the travalers a bit more clean up. Great work, really like the music. Keep Goig.

Great idea and event system! However I was thrown into the game without any explanation how anything works. Didn't kmow what exactly I could to do when, for example, my people froze to death (I suppose whiskey? But at the start I didn't even know what the bottle icon is :)

I think the interface got a little confusing... maybe if the game had a larger screen, it would be easier to understand what's going on. I liked the random events such as bandits attacking.

Nice job! As others have said, the lack of instructions and feedback in the UI made the game a bit tricky to play at first. I wasted a lot of whisky and food before I figured I had to first click "use" then one of the characters. Once I got the hang of it, things progressed quite smoothly, allowing me to survive until day 130 :)
