More about this game
Your goal is to maintain the warmth of your hidden cabin sanctuary. You wander the snowbound forest to gather sticks, berries, and tea leaves. Returning inside, you use sticks to tend the fire and leaves to brew tea at the stove. As you explore, a traveler appears needing shelter; offering them warmth or tea boosts your cabin's heat. The game has no strict end, allowing you to peacefully maintain the fire up to its 100 percent capacity as items regrow every 10 seconds.
Tips
- Forest items take exactly 10 seconds to regrow after you gather them, so plan a circular route between the spawn points.
- Every stick you add to the fireplace increases the cabin warmth by 22 percent, capping at a maximum of 100 percent.
- Brewing tea requires tea leaves, but if you have berries in your inventory, they will be consumed to make wild berry tea.
Questions
How do I increase the cabin's warmth?
You can increase the warmth by gathering sticks in the forest and using them at the cabin's fireplace. Each stick adds 22 percent warmth. Helping a traveler also boosts warmth by 12 percent.
How do I brew tea?
Go inside the cabin and stand near the stove. You need at least one batch of fragrant tea leaves from the forest to brew a cup, which you can then share with the traveler.
Why did my berries disappear when I made tea?
If you have berries in your inventory when you use the stove, the game automatically consumes one batch alongside the tea leaves to brew a special wild berry tea.
