First Frost
A downloadable game for Windows
Winter is Late
A snow sprite must collect the wisps of winter to bring balance to the forest. Animals, corrupted by their inability to fall into slumber, block your path. With wisps in tow, light winter’s shrine to let the wilds rest.
Gameplay
First Frost is a third-person perspective game about bringing winter back to a restless forest. As a snow sprite, you'll have to collect winter wisps scattered through the forest, running and jumping to traverse the landscape while hiding from and evading corrupted creatures. Every adventure will see the wisps in a new assortment of locations, and your safe hiding spaces may have moved!

How to Play
Navigate the forest to gather the Winter Wisps and return them to the Shrine. Listen for hints if you are having trouble.
Avoid the bear! You can hear its footsteps when it is near. If it hits you, some of your wisps will scatter to new locations on the map!
Look for the bright red berry bushes. While hiding inside one, the bear cannot see you! But don't expect this to trick the bear if he has already seen you. Break line of sight if you can, then hide!
This game includes random elements. Each time you play, the Wisps will be assigned random starting locations and the hiding spots will move!

Neat little project, love the visuals. Nice chill vibes, no pun intended. Good Work and Keep it up!
This was really adorable and I legit jumped when the bear first snuck up on me! It would have been good for there to have been a little more guidance in what I was supposed to be doing and to have something a little more at the end but this has great promise!
(This is the third game on the video)
Like the chill nature of the game. World has a lot ambience but needs more in it. Maybe have the wood peckers drop something or add more bears. I also seemed have got the bear stuck in some trees near the cave. He targeted me then I went into a berry bush and it just glitched out for a bit then eventually as I got closer it got unstuck.
Our plan for the future is to include a variety of corrupted enemies such as a bat, skunk, and frog
I liked the game. I did not finish due to ending up in a area i was not supposed to be in. I put a picture of where i got stuck in. The game is great and i love the music and sounds and the way it looks. Also the game was a lot of fun to play
Very Impressive! Haha
Do you remember the general area where this was?
I remember jumping up a tree and then jumping off of it into trees the look like the ones in the picture.
Also I found rocks that I could jump on top of and then i could walk until i found the edge of the map. Here is a picture of where i ended up. I think this game is very good and I had a lot of fun playing I just like to try things like ending up where i am not supposed to be sometimes in games. I wonder where i could end up if i keep on trying.
