Very cool swimming and harpoon mechanics. I had fun for awhile but found the lighting to be pretty abrasive through the flickering, especially when I found the big baddy fish and it turned red. Having to tap up to swim isn't explained well and took me a bit to figure out, and I felt the player wasn't guided very well, but the controls are well designed and there is a lot of fun to be had here. I had 25 or so fish following me at one point and got them all in one throw and that felt great haha. I must say that sound at the beginning is just awful though :[

Developer

Thanks!, i know it was needed to make a tutorial that explains everything better.

about the sound at the start, i know it's horrible, but that's because when I was working on the cutscene, I suddenly got bored of trying to make it as eerie as possible and felt like making the opening cutscene as much of a shitpost as I could. This involved adding the cringiest voices and the most ridiculous sounds I could find.

the voiceover's great,

I didn't quite understand why you need three cylinders and what to do, I was haphazardly traveling through the abyss with fish on my tail

Developer

i was going to do a mini-tutorial, but i forgot, the bars were supposed to be O2, life and hunger in that order. anyway, thanks!

Nailed the vibe and ambience of the setting. As a fellow horror aficionado, just well done mate ^^ 

Developer

Thanks mate!

Unplayable in browser unfortunately, and the sound scared the hell out of me

Developer

Sorry for the problems, what happened exactly in your game?

For some reason everything is dark except the computer and i dont see what im doing

Developer

probably is that, as the main scene charges really slowly (i forget to put a loading scene or something to indicate it was charging), you thinked it wasn't working, but i don't blame you, it charges in like 2 - 4 minutes aprox. in my portatile, that's preety good.

the voiceovers were a surprise, but I have to say that the screen is being cut in the web version so could not actually see much of the game itself

Developer

i know... when the jam ends, i will fix it inmediately.

Lovely design. Very spooky. Great art. The lighting effect looked great.

Although the controls were weird for me. I had to use the mouse to shoot but the arrow keys to move, as a right hander, it was strange. Were WASD meant to work? It wasn't working for me

Otherwise, solid game. Great work.

Good luck with the jam.

Developer

thanks! i forget to put the WASD inputs at last moment, after the jam i will upload the game to have them.
