For some reason the options submenu doesn't show anything.

Also, subtitles would be nice.

Developer

I didn't have enough time to make the options menu work. :(
Subtitles and a respawn system are at the top of my list if I ever go back to patch this. 


Thanks for playing it though! :D

i ran the wole time. nothing big happening suddenly vision fades with 45% oxygen and i die. quite dissapointing experience :/

Developer

Sorry to hear that you didn't have a good time playing the game, but thank you for checking it out.

The atmosphere is gripping. I’ve been following the progress of The Bends on the server. It’s even better than I had anticipated :D

In terms of atmosphere and sounds - both work together well to ground the player into the game.

I tricked the fine man at the other end of the comms a little by not walking back to the elevator the first time around, hehe.

If I could make a wish, it’d be some kind of checkpoints that spawn me back at the last relevant crossroads or so, so I wouldn’t have to walk all the way again.

I too wanted a checkpoint system, still might try to patch it in, but I am also entertaining the idea of an extended version of the game with more paths and a proper checkpoint system. 


Thank you for following the development and playing the game!! 💕 I'm glad you liked it.

Pleeeease. A checkpoint system would be amazing!!!! Maybe the option to auto run as well? GREAT game, it looked amazing!!!

Impressive content. I did check out the game, although there was a problem with options and the recording program kind of gave up on me, which was sad, because I really wanted to post the game's playthrough. 

Neat looking environment. Definitely, better to be played on big screen using joypad and I highly recommend everyone to check out this masterpiece. Good Look on future development.

Thanks for the feedback! 

Just wondering, were you recording with OBS? 

(+1)

No, I kind of was using 2 different recordings, Bandicam and VideoPad, so, unfortunately non of them worked, but I did enjoy the game, a lot. Great Work.

Well, thank you for trying to record it! Sorry it didn't work. I'll keep researching what might cause that, I've had past concerns with this before with other games.

And thank you for playing! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! :D
