I like the hexagonal grid and the winter setting.
I'd like to see some movement animation, not just teleporting to the next grid, and also a clearer way to tell the player when they are close to dying, maybe the screen should shake or turn red.
But, overall, it's a nice game. Congrats!
But outside of this, great entry !
Even though the strange monsters from locations were usually instant death, I always looked in them as their potential rewards were too good. There could be a way to mitigate that? The lighting system was neat to show passage of time, and your fires. I would have liked to see other sources of light naturally in the world somehow.
The most bothersome action I had to keep doing was going into my inventory to press a small button to make a campfire. Even making that button bigger would help with such a crucial function!
Overall, excellent work!
Not sure why you wanted this to have some ratings on the humor, the game is more creepy than funny, but great job !
