A simple text-based survival game
A nomad family in ancient times fight to survive the winter with nothing but a reindeer and primitive tools.
I didn't put enough time and effort into it to do much with it, unfortunately, but it is almost playable!
It is a web game. Only uses jQuery.
Update: Fixed Safari support
Update: I am continuing development for while. Play the latest here: http://fpalm.se/amru
I'm adding new code to the same repo linked below, on the master branch (not the compo branch)
Play it here:

i like the idea and execution, the very clean and minimalist graphic and also the subtle animation somewhat relaxing
very awesome entry!
I like the game, but it is difficult to tell if I'm 'getting' anywhere - is there a goal?
I thought that the goal was explicit in the title- at least, that is what I set out to do and accomplished. So be it.
Great little game. Tone reminded me of "Gods will be Watching." More!
I like the overall mood of it. A nice story to complement the game could make it pretty good.
It looks like a good start, but the lack of variety made it get boring fast. If it were fleshed out more, I'm sure it could be an interesting game!
Also, I found that sometimes it got stuck on a blank screen and you had to click on the area where text would go before it would progress.
The mood is good. But I don't know whzt to do.
Anyway, congrats for your work!
Nice concept and playing experience is good.. Especially the minimal graphics and day-night changes are nice.
If i click then some gap and then i am allowed to play again, these has to be mentioned/shown in ui to player that your action is processed.. Every time i play i end up loosing 2 or 3 guys less rations.
Potential for this game is very good, on expanding the game design and ai.
The hand-drawn graphics look very nice and I like the day-night cycle.
Sounds would have been nice to support the atmosphere.
Nice minimalist artwork. Its a bit aimless, with not much to do. Very dark brooding mood. As a swede too (http://williame.github.io/LD/Map/?event=ludum-dare-36), I kind of know the feeling you are channeling here :)

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Many solo participants enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
The visuals are really good for a text game, but I couldn't figure out what exactly the goal was...
