Unto the Eight is a bizarre little game where you wander around, heading deeper and deeper into the wilds while learning about the world you inhabit. Try not to freeze to death or get trampled and deliver packages to strange creatures in the farthest reaches!

Some Tips:

(1) There are 8 packages to deliver - the characters who entrust you with them are scattered around the world, but the first three can be found very close to the starting area. You can only hold one package at a time. If you press Esc to go into the pause menu you can see how many you have left to find and deliver.

(2) It may be a little unclear, but carrots, firepits, and wormplant all respawn after a number of steps. Their respawn time is similar to how long it takes for your lantern to dim or your temperature to drop.

(3) There are a ton of hidden wormplants and carrots. The game currently takes a little trial and error while you learn about where they are. This game has no RNG, and is completely deterministic - which includes enemy movement.

I'd love to hear ideas and feedback, as I plan on rewriting and expanding it into a full game after the comp.
