Cool mechanics! Its impressive that you managed to make these systems in only a few days. Even without all the flair of music and animations, I still found it fun and engaging. However; I couldn't quite figure out how to cook food on the first go round.

Thanks for playing, the hidden cooking is a recurring problem so we definitely need to make it more clear! Thanks for the feedback.

Simple, Cool And Fast Pace Game!
I manage to get both Ending
and one of the run I got the ultimate build lol but died due to starvation
ngl , kinda hard to look for direction  if there's no  nearby clue near the crash
eitherway 10/10 would recommend

Btw is the title long winter or lost winter? you kinda made a typo tho

It's meant to be the long winter so we will fix that in the main menu in the next update. Thank's for making the video though, it's really good!

How do you see how much health is left?

You can hover over the health icon for a precise measurement, or you can enable 'always show stats' in the settings menu to not have to hover over the icon.

Okay thanks, that helps. It's still pretty difficult. I keep freezing while trying to menu into the campfire, I have yet to find food lol. It is freaky though and definitely gives a sense of desolation. I'll keep trying and see how far I can get.

As a tip to overcome the start, try and get a branch from a forest and equip it. This will let you kill a deer or 2 and get some food to start with!
