More about this game

Your goal is to maintain a peaceful sanctuary in the freezing woods by keeping the cabin fire burning. You loop between the snowy forest to gather sticks, berries, and leaves, and the cabin to tend the hearth and brew tea. The challenge lies in managing your trips before the warmth fades, though there is no strict timer or fail state. A run continues as long as you wish to wander, gather, and offer hospitality to travelers.

Tips

Forest items respawn exactly 10 seconds after you gather them, so you can run a continuous loop between the three resource spots.
Always keep at least one stick in your bag so you can immediately add 22 percent warmth to the fire when returning.
Brewing tea requires leaves, but if you have berries in your bag, the stove will automatically use them to make wild berry tea.
