Short ~15 minute horror game in a dark, snowy forest with mysteries to be solved.

About

Being stranded in a snowy forest struggling to make it through each day makes you very tired by the end of it all. As you go to help your neighbors out with their needs, you notice some things are off about them. While searching for them, you find yourself going down a rabbit hole to find out what is happening. 

Content

While this is meant to be a short horror game (10-15 minutes), there's an achievement system and some secrets/easter eggs to find if you want more to do. Exploring around and finding these secrets may or may not unlock a 2nd ending.

Other Info

This game does store your progress on completed achievements, so you are not forced to do everything in 1 sitting. 

This is my first game, so it's probably a bit scuffed, but I'm open to feedback and will make changes where necessary.
