A downloadable game for Windows

A horrible incident leaves you, a simple father, desperately trying to save your child from hypothermia.

Against the Dying of the Light is a story-oriented survival adventure game. You start with nothing but a dying child and fire, and must use what little resources this forest has to offer to save your kiddo.
