It's a really lovely game! I didn't meet anyone while playing but I like the idea of keeping a fire alive together! I tried to explore a little bit and i found some lovely places. I just have a question (spoiler maybe) concerning the \"bridge\" to get to the small island. Why does it disappear everytime I try to cross it ? Do I need a 2nd player to keep it up or i am missing something ?\nGreat game! <3","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Cyberwiz","author_uid":"1002190","time":"2020-04-26T10:56:12Z","epoch":1587898572,"modified":1587898572,"text":"This is definitely a very ambitious project to take on and finish in a weekend's time.

Okay, the graphics, music and atmosphere is really well done. But the gameplay was not for me. The game felt too slow and nothing made me want to play for very long.
