Often the search item in the menu didn't work for me. I used the .exe file. The graphics are really awesome. Liked the gameplay.

Cool idea. Pretty well done adventure game. There were some bugs with clicking, where I'd click search but nothing would happen for a while. It seems like it needed me to be standing further away from the object I was searching, which is weird.

Sometimes when I right click a tree or bush I get no dialogue, sometimes I get the dialogue but I can't search, and sometimes I can search but I can't take the stuff. I also got some sticks but I can't seem to start the fire with them.

xgenovanni: You need at least 5 sticks placed in the campfire, 3 sticks in your inventory and at least 21 hunger points to start a fire with sticks ;) (but the character should tell you what is wrong, if he's not talking about something different) ;)
Also trees don't give you dialog all the time (it is random).

Also I was trying to fix the bug with tooltips/inventories, but I ran out of time, so sorry for that.

The design of the game is top-notch! I love the design, and the story of it is very good. There are a few bugs for the menu items, but all else was great!

The game seems buggy for me and it kind of killed the atmosphere.
Sometimes I can't search bushes or trees or collect their contents. I also couldn't get the fireplace to work.
Could use some fine tuning

Unfortunately I'm not able to start the game. I open the .exe but nothing happens, and there's nothing in Task Manager either. running win 7.

Very cool game. It has a lot of depth for a LD game.
Well Done!!

@inbetweengames you probably need to upgrade your JRE to JRE 8. That seemed to help most people having problem with it, or it might have been your antivirus, they don't really like unknown internet applications and you might have not noticed anything if you turned off the notifications.

Nice survival game, although the menus had some issues here and there, and the boar walked on air :D.

I never managed to destroy that lock.
I did manage to cook meat though after the 2nd try.
If you search something once and don't take the items you'll never get them...
Aside from that bug everything worked well.

Man, the interactions are wonky but I do like the mood set, though the story is of course… borrowed. Also, I can't believe I let this run for 15 minutes in the background, occasionally clicking a cooked steak just to see the ending.

BTW: part of the UI wonkiness is that the game seized up every 5 seconds for about 2 seconds, causing Java to do bad things as well, the Java process was often running at >1 full CPU core which was odd. Maybe you're doing something really hefty?

Nice little adventure, it gets a little boring when you do all the things you can do and then you wait 15 mins

Very fun adventure game. The 15 minutes of surviving/waiting was a bit boring though. Annoying that you only can search trees and bushes once, I missed some times and then the food was lost. I would like that new popups removes the old ones to avoid overlapping and missed texts. One of the boars died near a tree, which made it impossible to loot. Could only search the tree then. But otherwise great!

Couldnt really figure out how to get stuff from the plane, but I love the graphics! I included it in part 26 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/3UFkqjoD81E
