Yes! I'm alive! :D
Great story and atmosphere. I recently visited the Brussels sewer museum, and strangely enough, it reminded me of it (it was very interesting! with a slightly claustrophobic and spooky atmosphere). The little puzzles were within my grasp, and I obviously made the right choice to survive ahah. I didn't encounter any bugs. I'll try again if I have time, to see the other ending(s?). Well done!
Hi There. Unfortunately I seem to have gotten stuck as well. I can’t get into the shed, the water is too deep to reach the bottom and will take 9 days to empty. I can hook up and move the crane around, but it doesn’t seem to take me anywhere that I can do anything? (I’m assuming I need to get into the shed somehow.) Edit: After restarting it, I ran through the options again and it gave me the options I needed to finish. Must have been a glitch. Nice game :)
Hi. I had the same problem. I got stuck outside trying to empty the tank. I cant get into the shed (i think) and the control panel shows the state of things, but i can't change anything. I tried going round in circles waiting for the tank to empty, but i am unable to swim to the bottom after several attempts.
Other problems;
During the conversations, the UI has what appears to be a reply dropdown. Clicking this drops me out of the game to the itch front page. Luckily i can resume, but the dropdown is always inactive. So i just choose "continue" with that response. At least i assume it's a choice dropdown? maybe not. Anyway, this was a bit weird.
Otherwise, game looks good!
Hello!
At the control panel, do the buttons in the sidebar not work?
Thank you for the heads up on the drop-down menus. Those were a bad idea, I guess. I will post an update shortly.

I removed the list box options. Thank you for your feedback!
I do not know if I'm exceptionally stupid but I got stuck after talking to Marcus where the plant is too hot to go into and I tried to open the storage tank valve but it is full of 9 actual real life days of water. I keep going back and forth between the tank and the plant but I think I've exhausted all the possible options and I'm not sure what to do now.
Hi!
Have you tried to use the Control Panel inside the plant? Also, if you have visited the shed then you know you need to find a key.
I hope that helps and let me know if you need more help. :)

yes I have, it didn't do anything and nothing was clickable. My progress didn't save so I'd have to start over.
I remembered I had a save from before I opened the tank valve. this is what the panel looks like (the tank hatch is open and I just opened the tank valve). none of the buttons except exit are clickable.
The buttons in the side panel controls the crane. I highlighted the three states in the body copy for legibility. Please let me know if the buttons in the side panel don't work for you. Thank you for your patience with this interface. :)
oh! This is probably due to me being on mobile. I guess that's on me cuz it says it's not meant for mobile. I'll go on computer & play & rate again
