No download, no install, works on a phone. You chop trees, sell wood, hire hands, build a camp and a house, and there are wolves and bears that will genuinely kill you. Built in three.js with a hand-rolled server — no engine.
It’s early and I’m testing it almost alone, which is the problem. What I most want to know: does the cold read as pressure or as a chore? It falls the further you are from a fire, and I can’t tell any more whether that’s tension or an annoyance.

please make a playable demo or at least a screenshot, without requiring login/email harvesting?
You have to inspire trust in your users, and presenting them with a blank html form for login just looks sketchy AF. I bet you losing 90% of your new visitors bc of this.

Well the email reply seems to have not worked, email is only used to link the account, as the number of characters you have is set to your email, however email is used for nothing, the system is designed this way for later, you can use any email, even a fake one, there is no verification, and it is never used, maybe in the future it will be for account recovery but right now not at all, make any fake email that isnt used and it will work, you do not need to use your normal login or password, I would advise against that, as this is just a test, but in the end it is up to you, I am a disabled veteran simply trying to get his game out there, pass it by if you want.

All good.. it’s just.. if your landing page doesn’t show at the very least, and image of The Thing… its like an instant click away for me…
And there are lots of common password harvesting schemes where it asks you to create a username+password, and then through various other tricks, they associate it back to the real user, and try to use that password on their other accounts…
So even though a “create a username and password” seems innocuous, it’s an antipattern.
This is not to say you HAVE to change it, but at least show an image of what the user is going to expect to see if they Do create a uname+pass. 
And if this is just a test account.. just remove uname+pass entirely for now until you’re ready to go live. At this point its just a needless friction roadblock that blocks your free testers from testing!
