How it feels
A tense, minimalist roguelike where you explore a procedurally generated Swedish forest, gathering resources and crafting while facing permadeath from any small mistake.

What players say
Players praise the Nordic atmosphere and pixel art but warn that resource scarcity and the constant need to repair items make progression feel punishing. Opinions split on difficulty: some find it rewarding, others say combat rarely pays off and the economy is unbalanced.
