Story:
You're Jake. An old man that has been unfortunate enough to be living a very cold winter without a place to stay.
There are some people on the street but Jake doesn't seem to know how to communicate with them. By reading some books, that are spread across the map, jake's vocabulary expands deeply. With all this knowledge he can finally talk to people and figure out a way to get a home!

Install instructions
If there's anything wrong with the WebGL build just download and extract the executable one. This was my first time programming a game and I'm an audio engineer so I mostly had no clue what I was doing.

Pretty cool setting, music and sound design! I feel the game is a little too hard without the map available at all times, but great work for 3 days! A minor inconvenience: when scrolling down the page with the game open, the sound repeats on a ~0.5s loop and I could hear some pop and cracks during gameplay.
The pops and cracks should be the fireplaces. Thanks!
Ah! We also had some problems wih the fireplace sound, I think it's a bit too loud.
(for ours we used the plastic wrapper of crackers, so who am I to judge)
Yea I had soem problems with the sound implementation, too late to fix now. ;p
Really nice game, I love the look and the concept is quite interesting.
I think that maybe the time before freezing is a little small so it makes it a little too difficult, and it could be nice if once we look at the map we can access it from inventory or something but I still think it's a great game and it's awesome how much you did in only three days :D
Thank you so much!
Very impressive game for such a short period! I love the pixel art. I can't say I exactly understand the mechanic of the lights blaring and the game resetting though. It felt unavoidable and confusing to me.
I believe it's because you get too far away for the fire and freeze
