I loved It! I cant wait for the final project! It totally reminds me of HP Lovecraft's Color from Space! Is the final project going to be one big story or a bunch of short stories?

Nice jam game! I liked our encounter with the alien, I may have demanded a cuddle. I really liked how the game was in greyscale up until the the arrival of the thing from space, it was a very effective design.

Thanks, we are very happy you enjoyed the game, glad you liked our grayscale choice!

Very impressive game jam submission. The only thing I could've done without was the character's breathing/short running distance.

Thanks for the feedback! We will probably increase the character stamina on future updates.

would love to play this since the opening seems stylish and polished but I can't find anything to interact with after setting up the camp and I was wandering around the forest from 10 minutes trying to find something to progress things. Really needs better direction

Sorry about that, you need to interact with the suitcase near the tent entrance, we will work on better player guidance systems next week after the DreadXP Gamejam is over.

After interacting with the suitcase you need to scroll mouse to use the soil analyzer thingy.
