Nice game! Like the effort you put into creating the atmosphere :) I didn't know really what to do, but I will try again later... Well done!

The submarine atmosphere is really good! I also really like the story and the audio of the boss explaining pur mission to us. Sometimes I did not really get what to do, probably a little bit more orientation under water would help to see where you are and where you have to go.

I also have no idea what's going on but wow, you NAILED the look and sound design. really good stuff, I just don't understand where I'm supposed to go. I enjoyed my time crashing the ship though.

This game was really fun! Impressive how intense and scary the game was for such a short jam. I was a bit confused by the directions at the start and didn't realize I had to move with the buttons on the side of the screen so maybe that could've been more clear. Steering the ship was also quite hard since I kept running into walls I didn't realize I was next to lmao. The atmosphere of this game was absolutely amazing and I would totally play a full game like this. Really great submission to the jam !! :D

I absolutely adore the details put into this game and everything feels amazing and satisfying. My gripe with it however is that I have absolutely no idea what's going on because of how texturing of the walls. I could not figure at all where to go, so some clarity on that would be helpful I think.

WHOAH, this is really cool, I liked the fnaf vibes. I was just hoping I could use my logitech xbox controller but apart from that I really liked the game!

I love the presentation you did. The menus, buttons, art, and atmosphere are unique. You made a nice job with the voice and the subtitles.  5/5 on this.

It is a pity that I got lost trying to move the boat and discover what was going on. I saw that you integrated a tutorial within the voice of the Captain Pines, this is awesome, I wish Pine had explained to me what that lever was on the roof and what the other controllers were doing.

This one is my favorite, gives me so much chills. Just awesome!

Amazing looks and atmosphere, makes you feel anxious all the time. As Supreme Hubris and MuffintreeGames said, the production values go over the roof, it's also the first time I see a fully voiced and subtitled introduction for a jam game. I also found the gameplay to be a bit confusing, maybe having an in-game manual on how to operate the ship could help with that issue. You said horror is not your thing, but I think you did amazing on it.

Submitted

Very confusing but also very stylish. I think a bit of a clearer introduction would have helped...which is kind of incredible to say given that you put a fully voiced and subtitled introduction into a jam game, which is not something I've ever seen before!

Overall very cool, and I want to understand it more!

Submitted

Great atmosphere and production value!

Submitted

The voice acting and the arts are great. But, after the introduction, i was lost and didn't understand what to do :/

Submitted

I wasn't entirely sure what to do, but the game is well made nonetheless, definitely inspired by iron lung.
