The art is absolutely phenomenal, and the monsters are all sufficiently creepy. I didn't really like the fishing minigame, but it was partially due to skill issue. The combat was great once I got into the hang of it, the only thing I found a bit odd was that it shoots on mouse release instead of click. Only other recommendation would be to allow restarting from the boss you died on since I suck and died on my first attempt of the siren. I'm being overly critical though, I really enjoyed this one, and the polish is insane. Great work!

Im really glad you loved it, the mouse release thing is mainly due to it not being aimable so it would just make you throw harpoons everywhere and miss, as for the reset from current boss it is indeed needed. Thank you!

It's like Stardew Valley fishing, if Stardew Valley fishing had terrifying bosses that felt oddly targeted towards my phobia of deep water...

Jokes aside, loved the use of theme and tempo change between the different game play elements. The art/text was a little small on my system, but I assume that to be a intentional design choice, given the atmosphere of the game. Great work overall, you should be proud.
