Good job though, love the art style, the day night lighting and shadows.
Really nice.
The main problem is that there is no clear indication of when each character is doing something, and I can't tell how to initiate a particular action - all my characters always starved because I couldn't figure out how to get them to eat.
I'm sure if I could figure that out than this game would be a lot more interesting, because it certainly has a solid concept - but I just can't play it properly in its current state. :(
The graphics are very good and the animation, but I found the game very hard. The UI for rest/food/water were to small and I could not figure out why I was dying.
I would add death messages EX- Max died of thrust!
Also a tutorial would be nice.
BUT you made this in a short amount of time so I would say Its a pretty good game and I just suck at it!!!
I really enjoyed the feeling of the game. I would suggest notifications showing above the person, or at least name because sometimes I wasn't sure if the person does a action or not.
Overall interesting concept. I would like to see it more elaborated.
I didn't get very far always died at the end of day 1.
Interacting with the game can be a little too difficult since the characthers are a little too small.
Good entry nonetheless
Wow the graphics are really impressive in this one. But yeah, definitely pretty hard. Made through 3 days though, hooray? :)
