Well, Mike ran in to problems getting ldjam.com working properly with about 12 hours left in the Compo, so this is the backup plan.
How many doors does a person go through in their life time?
Are all the doors worth opening?
Anywhere but Here is a minimalist survival game. From your Room, you never know what lies beyond the doors. Survive using the items you find; craft tools to progress the game.
But where ever you end up, you can't escape from your Room. Will there ever be salvation?
** You can complete the fishing mission. After that there is nothing left to do... for now ;)

Simple game, but great feel and a nice look to it. Like a mini point-n-click adventure. Surreal exploration of "one room", seems like it could elaborate in interesting ways. Wished for more.
I liked the mood of the game, it fits really well with the theme. I'm not sure I got it though. I was looking for something to craft a fishing pole, but couldn't find all the items, maybe I didn't see all of them. The style os simple and well executed. Gratz!
Great entry, it was a super relaxing game and you did a great job on the music and graphics.
Nice atmosphere and artstyle! I think the music could be a bit calmer and the controls felt a bit too slow for my taste.
Nice mood created with the audio and graphics! But very short story... Your background thoughts are pretty philosophical, I like it!
It sets up a nice and relaxed mood, I found all materials and ate the fish! Great job Alex.
Hi all, appreciate all the feedbacks, ideas and support. I plan to create a full story based on this game =)
I enjoyed this, it has a really nice style and is a cool take on the theme. I could see it being expanded with the doors changing to take you to different places
Nice take on the theme, love the graphics and peaceful music as as well. Hope you carry on with this!
The background music is so relaxing.
I like the concept and chosen art style either.
Well done!
Got bugged out and kept chopping wood with E no matter where i was in the world. Cool setting and atmosphere though, nice game.
i think the idea is really good, and it looks nice. the web build was running a little hot on my laptop, so framerate was a little low. other then that this was really nice. I can see this becoming like a mansion with doors to different worlds/dimensions.

This was refreshing. Taking a break from your usual entry. I like the music and the setting. Got that Jonathan Blow feel to it. Why not make this into a puzzle game of sorts. Where you need to complete puzzles from different dimensions that depend on collecting or doing things in other dimensions... i don't know :P.
