Welcome to The Stillness, a very short atmospheric 2D horror game. Please enjoy the wonderful music by Lemon and check out the art and ambience of the world. You can move around with WASD and interact with things using SPACEBAR.

Unfortunately the game is unfinished and only features the beginning day setup. The full vision for the game is to gather resources outside by allocating how much time to spend on certain tasks each day. Need more wood for the stove? Better spend more time on gathering wood. In this bleak world however you will find it almost impossible to have enough of every resource and survive to find out the nature of the Stillness.

After viewing the other comments, I agree it took a moment. The art and atmosphere are worth a looksee. I can see the potential of game and look forward to playing it if it ever gets finished. Thank you for putting it out there.

Nice visuals but I took me several seconds to understand I was playing the man on the right and this was not a point&click. Side question, how do I interact with stuff ?

Thank you for trying! The interaction was bugged on my build of the game. Working on a fix now! I kind of missed the forest for the hills on this one so not much is implemented unfortunately.

I should add a brief controls and indicate it is wasd movement. I did consider making this point and click at one point but wasd makes sense later in the development.

My advice for future builds is to add a line of text on top of the character meant to be played (as a thougth or a general direction), so it's easier to understand who we are intended to play without adding any UI element
