i love this game. its atmosphere is great and after a while i really got the message you where trying to convey. i hope you make more games in this ominous/horror genre. i would totally play a horror game you made!
A very neat, short game! I like how when playing I had fun trying to maintain a good score, and yet was constantly reminded that I would eventually be caught by the unsettling atmosphere. which was on point.

Hey, saw your post on reddit! I just finished playing for a few minutes.
Visually, the game is really appealing! I love the sprites. The shadow effects that you have on the house and trees are a nice detail, and I really like how the light around the lantern is handled. I like the music as well, the loop is simple and created a good ambiance without being irritating after listening to it for so long. The logo is also clever, when I saw it first I thought this would be some kind of creepy pasta.
I don't really understand how the streak system works? I'd plant and harvest all my seeds and get a streak bonus, and then do the same thing the next day and my streak would be ruined. Is this an error on my part?
All in all, it's a really nice small game to have been made for a class!
Thank you, Malisa! I really appreciate your comments!
I agree that the streak system is slightly cryptic. As you mentioned, if you plant and harvest all your seeds in a day, your streak goes up. There are a couple sneaky ways the streak can die. If you accidentally plant two seeds on top of each other, you lose a seed and your streak ends. Also, if the marauder steals one of your bundles of wheat before you collect it, your streak ends.
