Very fun game. The first time my flashlight ran out while I was inside a house, and I was trapped by tentacles, was a bit harrowing. Spooky stuff

Thanks for playing! I thought that might happen. Maybe I could make the flashlight battery recharge slowly so in dire situations the player can exchange oxygen for flashlight power by just waiting underwater. I'm glad you had fun and experienced some spooks as well.

Thanks for playing! Watched your stream and didn't even see the creature once. Heard it a few times though. I really have to make the creature more active in the game :D

Guess I got very lucky haha!

The game loop is commendable. The atmosphere of tension is conveyed really well, but I wish the creature had a greater presence in the game. It could have continuously followed us, making us deal with both our oxygen levels and the creature simultaneously. This would have made the tension even more effective.

No More Candles

The creature is actually actively searching the players surroundings, but returns "home" after every dive. Maybe the creature would be more present if it stayed in the same area after the player goes to surface. Thank you so much for playing and from the feedback!

Great game, I got all 5 amulets :D I enjoyed getting familiar with the map and dancing around... the thing. The upgrade system and the game loop of collecting loot was surprisingly effective, I found myself addicted quite quickly. Looks cool too.

Nice! Exploring submerged houses is a really great concept for a game. Pretty good production value here too.

OzMaisterDeveloper125 days ago(+1)

Appreciated! We worked really hard on this one so I'm glad it shows. Thanks for playing.

It definitely does show! Solid work.

I played while watching a soccer game yesterday and thought the exact same thing: "When was the last time we explored underwater houses?" I remembered of Dave the Diver and Tomb Raider, though those games don’t exactly focus on that. This really is something unique; considering the maneuverability needed to grab collectibles without triggering the "presence," the way the water flows, and how sound respects the silence—it’s very clever. This was my first 5/5 game here, and I found it to be a very complete experience.

I just now noticed your comment. Thank you so much from your kind words! I found the idea interesting and unexplored and I'm so happy other people like it too.
