Survive the Night by conradte3
Survive the Night is a survival game using one screen. You slowly discover the area by fueling your fire, which is your only source of warmth in an extremely cold environment.
EDIT: Sorry guys, there should have been some extra/clearer messages in there. Logs cannot be picked up until they are chopped (by pressing F on them after picking up the ax).
Fixes: Second message now correctly says "sticks" instead of "things". Log collision mask corrected. "Activate log" message now displays at the correct time. Fire can no longer be accidentally "lit" if it is already lit. (I felt that these were in line with the allowed changes but if you feel otherwise, let me know and I can revert them.)

Otherwise, the controls were intuitive enough to figure out without much, but I'm glad you had instructions that "e" picked up and dropped sticks.
I did get the "Hope I don't end up like him"-message too early in my first start. What could I have used the axe for? I tried holding 'F' in front of trees or branches, but it didn't seem to do anything. It shouldn't be possible to accidentally reduce the fire size by pressing 'R'.
