Very spooky and atmopsheric! As someone who is scared of the deep sea, this had me feeling tense :D the gameplay is not super exciting, but the story and atmosphere make up for it. Good job!

Astounding sound effects

Atmospheric and creepy! While I think it's a bit too slow paced (and you need to do the same puzzle agian and again), the story and sound effects are good enough to keep it interesting ^^ Well done!

Remind me how you made this in 48 hours again?

Really nice and suspenseful.  The repetitive structure really helped this game shine. I think changing the text when you come back to the middle section after fixing the water (like you did in the last level) would make it even more interesting ! It would make the return trip more eventful.

Thank you for this cool entry :)

Love the game, very creepy, reminds me of 2D subnautica

I love all the sprites for the marine life! The core concept is great, reminds me a lot of the game Iron Lung, and the fantastic audio only adds to the claustrophobic atmosphere. I wish the character moved a little bit faster, as there are a lot of repeated walks, but all in all you have a very fun and spooky game!

In my first attempt I pushed through the boxes to left and got myself trapped between the boxes.
But the second time I got to the end and I must say the atmosphere and buildup are amazing!

I didn’t even notice that bug until this morning! Thank you for finding it + your review!!

Very well made. Good story telling as well, builds up right up to the end.
