Image... somehow you appear in the middle of the forest. Not important why. Just it happened.
You have with you some meal, you burn a campfire to eat tastly.

After a little while when you finally decidet to go back home, something goes wrong. Something hides in the dark. Something dangerous. You decide to stay there until dawn.

This really happened to me once. And game is about that ( plus some fantasy aspects )
You need to keep fire lit, and later on shoot your enemies with fireballs from campfire.

Cool game! I like how it's a dark game without stop fitting the theme of the Jam, and the day based gameplay. I think the AI may need a workaround though, since allies some times run into and stay in the fire and die trying to lit it up.

Could not play either, gave me the same error Local Minimum reported, sorry! Tried running it several times! (sometimes I get this error with jam games but it just works after a second try)

I got this error message:
0xc000007b

Maybe there is some runtime library missing?
