Wow! Great sound, and ambient effects. And a cut-scene! I was getting all excited to see what happened down in the hole, and then I maybe punched the wolf, and it ended. Kudos for getting me into the story!
I don't understand why the combat was inserted, the moment I was supposed to use it I just got sent to the fin screen. The wind sound effects and snow particle effects were cool.
Oh, that`s what i love about games: your mind is the main game controller. Some people say wolf killed them, some people say they killed a wolf. That sounds really interesting because that game has no win\lose conditions - screen just fades after 8 or 10 attacks. And then you think you`ve killed the wolf or the wolf killed you.
Was hard to rate it. It's amazingly done, very immersive but not so fun at the end because of: use of keyboard keys (not minimalist, and not european keyboard friendly), and brutal end (not wanted to start again, too long to reach the wolf...). Well done however.
Awesome graphics, and the overall atmosphere is great. I wish the controls were a bit tighter, and that there was a way to get to the title screen from the game over screen.
Great setting - I felt like I was getting a chill from the sound of the wind and snow. Not sure if I managed to kill the wolf or not, but I don't think so...
It seems you put A LOT of efforts on this game, it looks very well. Please, if you decide to complete the gameplay in someway, let me know, I would love to play it. Btw, are you Spanish speaker? fin is Spanish :D
I forgot to tell you that at the begining I did not know where I was. Maybe it would be clearer if you put the character a little bit nearer to the the scene.
gokuhd, thanks for your comments, i really appreciate this. I will announce if this game will have any future (followed you in twitter).

About the beginning: putting character in visible area was visually crap and i decided to draw a little pointing sign on the left. So players have to think and look at the background if they want to know where is that little guy. :)
Hi ! here is some feedback about the entry. What I loved : atmosphere, efforts on animation
What could be improved : - fight system (either a complete fight system or a simple "one button" would have been better instead of a complex with no depth one) - I don't really see the relation with the theme - graphics (are very good !) but could be improved with more consitency (a strong and common graphic style) Thanks for the game ! (Bt the way, if you like story-telling, you could like mine !)
Nice athmosphere and the particle effects were amazing and pretty cool. I really liked the spooky music and the sound effects. As for me, the combat did not fit well into the whole thing. I would have liked it better whent it just been a "semi-interactive-story". Liked the ambiguity at the end.
Lythom, the game is minimalist because it takes the most complex game genre ever made (roguelikes) and puts it in a 3x3 room with one basic "potion" item, and some insanity to fit in with the tiny room idea. I should probably add that to the description.
Also, just played it through again, got to day 42! It's super fun once you know all the hidden details.

I will make it better to the 15-th of march or near it.

Good work.
