nice
This was interesting. I kind of wandered around and picked up a lighter and sticks and a flashlight. Found a mine and an observation tower but couldn't seem to interact with anything in either location. That is probably because it is under development still, I am thinking?
Yeah the game is still a work in progress. While we have a lot of the art for locations/characters finished, we are missing many of the interactions with the elements there. Thanks for checking out the game!! Kinda cool to see others view your work lol.
