Wooden traps and biscuit bait

The whole trap loop on one phone: craft a wooden trap, pack the bag, choose a trap, a bait and a spot on the map, wait, then open the trap to find a visitor or an empty trap. Fifteen states, clock buttons, map toggles and a demo of the small text messages that fade at the top.

Edited for the Dev Log
  • The trap distances are worked out from a public landmark instead of the development location
  • Added a line saying what a Wildling is, and reworded one note written for a reviewer
