it's getting cold

it's getting cold is a text-based wilderness survival simulation video game. You must forage, eat, and maintain your fire to avoid dying in the wilderness. It contains very sparse description and a rather apocalyptic atmosphere. It was made out of a desire to make a small and portable game (since I've been working on nothing but large, unwieldly projects for the most part), and also as an excercise in creating tone with very minimal language.

You may play this vidya by:

compiling the source, available from the repo (recommended), or
downloading the binary off of the game's itch.io page

It's recommended that if you use Windows, you should ~~move to a better operating system~~ just download the pre-built binary, since it's a pain in the ass to compile stuff on Winshit anyway.
