This is great, its a really nice mix of deck builder, turn based strategy and puzzler. I really like the art style too.  All round, wonderful job.

Pretty! That was certainly enough to suck me in and get me to stream it (timestamp), in addition to it clearly being turn-based :D

I felt the turns are a bit slow, and the deck-based mechanics had some aspects that weren't fully apparent at first, with deckbuilding also feeling like perhaps not the most effective way to implement these mechanics, but it still offers some challenge in figuring out the most efficient way to proceed. Seems tough to have much hope of actually reaching a campsite with much time remaining, too, if you want to gather any other resources, that is :)

I did like the idea of being able to take multiple different approaches depending on the animal behavior and your available cards, and there's a pretty decent foundation for something bigger here if you all want to keep working on it. (See my stream for more commentary, and that of some others in chat etc.)

Fun and clearly gorgeous. I wasn't very good at it and I felt myself in the "I can never spend an item because I might need it later" problem a lot, but I think this could be a great game for people who enjoy the puzzle aspect of stealth games.

Exciting and yet great for slow playing! I think a lot of players who physically can't play action games will really appreciate this

very creative!

This is really cool. I like that non-combat focus.

I like card games, but I don't like card-building games because you spend more time "playing" outside the game. Also I don't like survival games because they tend to be hard and they force you to look for water or wood and fire every 5 seconds. And I don't usually like turn-based games except for chess and card games. And I surely don't like rogue games. But I do like stealth.

So, even though I didn't like the description or premise of the game on a fundamental level, I gave it a go and I liked it a lot! It reminded me of Lara Croft Go. As a designer of both card games and digital games my self, I appreciate a lot in your game. The fact that you always can move 2 spaces, the timed enemies, the card discard (that implies a single use of the card), the minimal but cute graphics and the relaxing sounds and music, they all resonate with me. Good work!
