Changes

An issue made our game randomly crash after seconds of playing (of course it only happened in the builds, not in the Unity editor). It is fixed now, we had to go back from unity 2018.3 beta to unity 2018.2 and believe us you don't want to do that ;)

Quite interesting turn-based game, I enjoyed it. It has quite a lot of content added for the game jam, which I didn't expect.

Congratulations on making the game and keep up the good work.

That's very complex game made in a short time, I hope I will survive more than few days ;)

Very nice adventure game with a lot of story and content. Great job for creating all this in such a short amount of time. I managed to be victorious and only lost 3-4 people, so perhaps it was too easy or I just got lucky. Great work!

A neat game with some nice artwork and great sound effects. When i reached the final tile the game text kind of skipped past it and i just ended up at the victory screen. Other than that great job!

You got a lot done on this, it was really hard to manage the needs of the group and I was actually surprised at how long my last 5 people survived. Too bad they got eaten by a bear.

Very complete adventure. How the 'combat' skill works?

I am not sure if it is a bug but when it says "some people join your party" they did not appear in my party.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

@krunoslav The various random events are resolved by launching dice, and those combat/exploration skills provide a bonus to the test according to the type of event. Unfortunately we did not have time to make things more obvious by showing the dice or even the test calculation/results.

The party thing is probably a bug yes!

A lot of situations. It remind me board game (I think it's clearly the main inspiration, with probably the movie apocalypse now). In any case it's complete, interesting and there is a nice atmosphere.

Wow, that was a very atmospheric game, like some of the boardgames I've played!

Every encounter is random and dangerous.

I've tried to explore the radio station, and it said it was very deadly. Then the game ended with a victory screen, so I'm not sure what happened.

It feels like a good boardgame (and I play a lot of them with my friends), so that is not bad.

Nice job, felt very strategic. I played through a couple times, I like how there are different results from each scenario. Sometimes the village is friendly and sometimes they just take two of my people for no reason haha. This was a fun entry, good work!
