Thought at first the joining thogether was the crew, boy was I wrong. Loved it though! The atmosphere with the creaks, the eerie narration and the texts slowly changing, just amazing, took me 10 in game days to notice I was in a loop. I didn't fail by running out of water or food, is there an actual way to lose? It would be nice to have like some type of measure, like subtle changes to the ilustrations

There's actually six different endings! If you manage your crew well enough it takes a bit too long to get an ending for the proof of concept this game is though.
You can...
- Get Mutinied
- Dehydrate
- Starve to death
- Lose / Kill all your crew
- Get capsized (I don't actually think this one is trigger-able since the ship health system is borked)
- Merge all your crew together (The true ending)
Couldn't get through the intro because my mouse wheel is broken, but it looked really good!

Torn ApartOnly made it to day 80.
This is not my kind of game, but even so I found the mystery intriguing. I'd like it more if the text screen was bigger (in relation to the game screen). It felt like a lot of unecessary scrolling. It'd also be nice to view how much water/food you have before deciding how much you want to give your crew.
The atmosphere was very good, though, and I really wanted to confront Simmons even before his experiments.

United We ChessI LOVE THE ART! It is so so good! It reminds me of one of my favorite tv shows called The Terror, and I've got this antique book called "Tragic Tales of the Sea" that are just a bunch of ship's logs from a few hundred years ago about tragic shipwrecks and difficulties at sea and I love that whole vibe and genre and you really really captured it! This is also a very very creative interpretation of the theme! Really great job!

TreematesVery small game screen :( .. And WHO had the clever idea to sail ship in such icy conditions anyhow? Love the art style and overall feel. Great work!

Space Road TruckersReally amazing game! I loved the voiceover gravely audio and the puzzle solving nature of trying to keep everyone happy and get to the glacier of safety. (Almost made it, soooo close) The dialogue, writing, art, creaking in the floorboards, all of it was really great for a 48 hour challenge. If you wanted to expand on it I could see more decisions to be made with various events and dialogue options but yea. Great job and good luck in the jam. Really fine work. 5/5 ︎♋

♋︎I really like the writing in this, and I want to uncover the mysteries. I like how as I slowly went crazier, the dialogue started being more messed up and glitchy.
The art and aesthetic was really nice too. I loved the silhouette of the ship against the background.
Clicking on the same boxes each day was repetitive though, and I had a hard time seeing anything happening when I made a decision. I didn't know if adding snow or not to the water did anything.
I've played it a couple times and I am always thrown overboard. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
Maybe that's the point though?
Anyways, Good job!

I CRAVE BLOODNice art, very atmospheric. It took a little time to figure out how to progress through the pages (clicking bottom text), but after that there were no problems.

World FlutistThe game is very creative and different, telling the narrative of a pirate ship on its journey, with some interesting twists and turns. this is complemented by a unique, retro art style. I did find the gameplay to be rather dull and got quite repetitive quickly, but the writing and art is excellent.
