In the marsh lies Trullskoll cave.

A lonely troll lives there.

He is you.

You are the troll.

THIS GAME INVOLVES MURDERING BUNNIES FOR FOOD.

That's a disclaimer.

This is a survival sort of game where you have to gather materials and fight enemies and hunt animals.

The game has simple crafting that allows you to make traps, 3 tiers of armor, and 3 different weapons for you to use against 4 different enemies, as well as innocent animals with delicious meat inside them.

While you are out hunting, you may encounter humans attempting to hunt /you/.

The frequency and difficulty of encounters with humans is based on two values: How much the neighboring town hates you and how much they fear you. The two start out at zero and increase or decrease from various interactions with humans.

Additional Notes: I put off doing music and a title screen for last, but I'm too tired to possibly do those now. Speaking of which, I apologize if this description reads something like "clackle my wizcarbon in the fixy widget, meeeaaahhh." or something nonsensical like that:

I'm so tired.

My everything hurts.

I hope you like my game anyways.

I'll definitely do a post-comp version with more things in it.

Controls:

-Left and Right to walk.

-Up to jump.

-Z to attack.

-X to throw rocks if you have them.

-C to place traps if you have them.

-Space to interact with objects.

-P to pause

-Esc to exit

The tooltips will lead your way.

Compressed source included in the download.

EDIT: Sorry the pacing is so slow, I didn't really have time to test it. Try hitting humans until they run away until you get at least 1 hatred and you'll be more likely to encounter more. Also, there is a coding error with the totems right now so use them with caution.

EDIT2: The finished game has been uploaded to Gamejolt, for those who are interested in playing it.
