Dram Fireth
Our studio of experimental archeology would like to present Dram Fireth - a game based on words that has been buried in ice for centuries:
_ Keepeth t alive, mine own lief _
_ bringeth m're and warmeth up _
_ nobody knoweth how bitter cold _
_ the wint'r without fireth is _
_ what freezing has't i hath felt _
_ Keepeth t alive, mine own lief _
_ a dram fireth f'r thy hands _
_ alloweth not t wend out _
_ nev'r beest merit if 't be true _
_ t'd did cost thee life _
controls:
arrows / wsad
space to use the axe
E to pick up & drop stuff
EDIT 2020-04-21 – fixed a few small bugs, added web version
EDIT 2020-05-08 – added thank you message at the end of the game

I am very intrigued as to what's going on in this game -- definitely very atmospheric. I really like the look of the flame!

Great atmosphere! Juste enough sounds to get you intrigued. Only thing I have to say was, I had a hard time understanding what the character was supposed to look like. Appart from that, amazing!

Awesome art! The high contrast works well to convey the harsh atmosphere. Really cool mood. Those fire sounds tho

After reading the little poem and upon entering the game I really felt for a while like I was entering a norse myth - very short but what's there, I loved!

This is really cool and stylish. The visuals are awesome, and the atmosphere is very dense. I'm not sure what to change - perhaps the only thing that was a bit confusing was the end, where the screen went black, but it seemed that nothing happened. With jam games, I'm usually taking this as "the game crashed", so a bit of visual or audio feedback would be helpful.
Also, happy to see another Czech game.

It's always great to see something different! This art, sound, and game all blend very well to give this a great dreary mood.

The art is great. I think the ending could have been explained better, without looking at the comments I would have considered the game bugged. I like it as a short narrative experience.

thanks guys for the feedback!
The flame definitively reminds me of the flame demon from Howl's Moving Castle :thinking:
Also beeautiful graphics!
Overall a really nice game, with a mysterious aesthetic, keep it up :smile:
*SPOILER ALERT*
When the avatar appears in the flame, and i walk into it, then screen just goes black, is this intentional??
