Gameplay

The objective of the game is to build 5 houses. A house is an area enclosed by walls that has floor on the inside, and a bed. It is also at least 2x2 tiles large. A house may only have one bed.
Whilst playing the game, you need to keep an eye on both your temperature and your energy, which are both represented by the bars in the top right of the screen.

Energy

To gain energy, you need to sleep. The higher your temperature whilst sleeping, the faster you gain energy. If your energy falls too low, you will collapse and sleep until you are slightly more energised.
Energy is used up whenever you move.

Temperature

Your temperature will constantly decrease whenever you are outside. To gain temperature, you will need to build and stay close to fires.
You do not lose any temperature when indoors, but also do not gain temperature from nearby fires. The only way to gain temperature indoors is to sleep in a bed.
If your temperature drops to 0, you will die.
