  • Great environmental horror game. I found the experience very well fleshed-out, with a good balance of avoiding terrors from the dark and managing the resources on your craft. Really reminiscent of Subnautica and taps into that genre of aquatic horror incredibly well.

the controls felt awesom,

I really felt like I was in a small submarine

Graphics were great too!

I liked this a lot! I don't know if it's my mouse but the camera look jerked at times, causing me to play a bit slower than I hoped to

I enjoyed the cat in my sub meowing for support, i think the sub genre is good for horrors. nice work!

I really enjoyed the immersive atmosphere and how the game felt overall. I just had a big dum-dum moment, how do you improve the oxygen when you're running out? I guess I'm the only person around that hasn't played any games like Subnautica, so I wouldn't know. :D

Developer

thank you so much! and sorry about that - there's an oxygen switch inside the submarine next to the switch for the headlights

Nah, don't apologize! Thanks for the hint, I'll give the submarine another go tomorrow!

Woah there. That's pretty intense. So much to manage, so much to do. The terror was rich and lingered on my tongue. I loved the art style and the logic of it. It feels like it can be quite a deep game if it were fleshed out a bit. Kudos

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it :)

I tried, but the performance dropped so bad every time I looked out the window I couldn't get anywhere. Might be because I was launching using Proton on Linux, but unsure

Developer

hey so sorry about that! the game ended up being pretty unoptimized so I'm not that surprised it had trouble, but thanks for checking it out anyways! I'll be posting a playthrough of the whole thing tomorrow on the itch page if you don't mind coming back to check it out :)
