Thanks everyone for trying our game, we thought we might respond to some people's queries.

1. The monster responds to noise, so if it's close, only a little noise is needed to alert it.

2. We were unable to expand the feed your family feature as much as we would have liked, but if you do take the food back home it will remove it and feed your family.

3. The game world doesn't wrap, you have to head right to collect food, and try not to get too far away from home.

4. We wanted to make the Day/night cycle more aperant but we ran out of time in the end. :/

5. The berries do replenish faster than they were meant to, since it was meant to take more than an ingame day. :p
