  • Interesting art style for sure! I think the setting is not particularly unique but the little bits of narrative are definitely intriguing and I would like to see how this game would continue to grow! A good start

Had a great time playing this on stream. Thanks for letting me know to queue it up on my post in the community section. Like I said when streaming, I want in that cave!

Thanks for playing it so thoroughly! I too am excited for what could be in the cave :O

Atmosphere's amazing, I agree with previous commenters that the movement's quite slow, but this is a great display of potential.

The atmosphere is amazing and really fits the location well. I love the slight swaying of the plants too!

I do feel like the movement is slightly too slow, but that's not the point of this round so it's fine. I really want to know the backstory, who Juliet is, and what happens next!

Good effects! But I dont know how about others, when I opened the door to cave, game began lagging, however I lke the engine

Developer

Thanks for letting me know! It's not a bug that I encountered but someone else has also had errors in that part of the game, so I definitely need to look at that code to figure out what's going on there.

sure, everyone playing in different devices, I think it is because my laptop couldn`t afford so many effects (imho)

The atmosphere under the sea is caught really well and I love the artwork and am left anticipating for what happens next

This game was really good! the art was great and I loved the sound effects. My only problem is the sub moves a bit too slow

I’m ready to relive the Atlantis experience haha, nice sound and sense of slow moving underwater movement. I like the swaying seaweed motions, and how foreboding the depths are.

man this game is great. i am super excited for the next level. the atmosphere is so amazing, i was genuinely scared. from the sluggish movement, to the deep sea area, to the ambience, to the mystery, man its just so good! not really much gameplay but the snipit of atmosphere is so amazing. great game!

Developer

i assume you're the dev. also when i said sluggish movement i meant it in a good way, you dont feel powerful and that really sets up the horror. also this is supposed to be atleast creepy right? or was it unintentional

Developer

yep I am the dev - actually i was going for a feeling of wonder and discovery... the horror/creepy is completely unintentional. But I just replayed it and... I mean it's totally readable as a creepy thing hahahaha
