You are trapped alone in a forest, and must find a source of warmth...
Oh, and you're also blind.
Directions
- So... what do I do again?
Use the arrow keys to move. Please avoid running into walls.
- Wait! But I can't see the walls!
Use X + an arrow key to check in a particular direction for walls.
- Okay, but where am I going?
Press Z to check the temperature.
- "Warmer" means you're getting closer.
- "Colder" means you're getting further.
- "..." means that it's the same distance away as the last time you checked, or that you haven't moved since last checking.
- Closer to what?
The exit, which will allow you to select a power-up, then take you to the next level.
- Pfft, this is going to be easy.
Keep an eye on the meter towards the bottom. When it runs out, you freeze to death.
- oh. . .
Tips
Tiles are "remembered" (become visible) as you traverse the level (or check things or run into stuff). However, they also fade from memory over time.
As you get closer to the exit, "embers" will become visible to help guide you.
Remember to eat some stew between levels, whenever possible. You might not last too long if you don't...
And finally
I had this weird idea in my head for a while, of some sort of dungeon crawler where the player would only be able to see tiles that they had visited recently. So I decided to create it. It took me a little under a week to finish this, though it isn't really a dungeon crawler anymore.
This is my first complete PICO-8 game. Hopefully it's fun. Enjoy!

This is cool, really love the vibe. Does the game save between levels? I did level one on my way out, but I didn't check to see if it saved my progress.
