Frostbite
You got lost and need to find your way out! Use WASD to move and look for signs and stairs to escape the maze. Make it out quickly as the your lantern doesn’t last forever and skeletons are hunting for you. Luckily there are campfires spread out. Head to them to refuel your lantern.
Please leave any and all advice that can help me be a better game designing :)
Please note that I only had 1.5 days to work on this and in the spirit of jamming I will not modify it during the voting period. It might not be as balanced as I would have liked but I hope its still fun.

Fun game. The speed of the pc and the skeletons is well balanced. Difficult enough to get caught, but always avoidable. Hard mode does a better job of capitalizing on the tension of being lost and freezing. I would have liked a way to de-aggro the skeletons, either with a collectable or when you reach a bonfire. I understand implementing enemy line of sight would be a large investment design-wise for a project of this scale. Frostbite mechanic could use some tuning. This could be done with more robust indication that you are freezing (pc turning blue) or a more direct way to inform the player how much longer you can withstand cold (frostbite bar). The screen effect is nice, but I never froze to death, so I am unaware how close I came to failure which is a missed opportunity to create additional tension. I can easily imagine how the game could expand in complexity if it was a larger project. I think this speaks to the game's proper design and focus. Overall I enjoyed playing it. Thanks!
