Until Sunrise

Story

You are stranded in the woods, armed with a lantern that can harness the power of fire and your trustworthy axe.

Your campfire is your only lifeline to survive the night.

Will you make it throughout the darkness? Will you maintain your fire alive?

Keep it alive Until Sunrise!

Gameplay

Cut down trees and use wood logs to keep your campfire alive.

Upgrade your powers at your campfire, but they come with a cost!

Be careful though, there are things out there…

Things that feed on fire!

Plan carefully!

Our Ludum Dare experience

This is our first Ludum Dare and we tried adding as much as we could, in what we found out being a very short amount of time.

Obviously not everything we wanted is in the game.

Hope you will still enjoy it as much as we had fun (and stress :laughing: ) creating it!

We will soon add a downloadable version as well, time to figure out itch.io :laughing:
