Yukon: A game inspired by The Long Dark and old Sierra adventure games

[Jaspo]

GM48's 41st 48 hour game jam was last weekend, with the theme of "side effect", and Yukon was my entry.

I wanted to try Canadian winter survival, but in the scene-to-scene style found in old games like King's Quest or Conquest of the Longbow.

I also wanted to see if I could make a huge game world in just 48 hours, which I mostly failed to do. But there's enough there to make it interesting.

So, what's the game's premise?

A research mishap in the Yukon sends your metabolism through the roof, forcing you to frantically scour your frozen environs for any food you can find until a rescue helicopter arrives with supplies.
