I couldn’t finish the game because my boat crashed into the lighthouse when I had a lot of money :( I thought it would stop like with the other ports but with the lighthouse, the ship kept running and it crashed. I was in the menu and just heard the boat breaking and after going out of the menu I got game over.
I liked the start of the game and the story. The journal is a great and nice touch of drawings like that in the right side of each entry.
The gameplay at 1st can feel a bit strange because if you don’t buy anything in the shop, you stay with no info about what to do or if you don’t store something in the lighthouse you don’t know about the next objective. At some point the player will buy something and leave stuff in the lighthouse since the boat can’t carry a lot at the start but for this I felt lost at the start, I didn’t buy anything and just went to wander into the sea.
I like how easy it is to get a lot of money, just buy-sell a lot of first aid and objects that cost 5 coins. I like the visuals and the music, it really fits the gloomy atmosphere of the story and the journey through the sea. (Or just keep buying-selling 1st aid in the 2 ports below the map and get a lot fast)
And, I’m not a person who tends to play this kind of game, that is a slow management game, so I’m not the best to say something about the game more than I felt it was slow for me haha. Maybe it can be relaxing or can be good to play if you have something else to watch on the side. (I’m writing this while I try to finish the game and for some reason in my second gameplay the music stopped, I tried to go to the lighthouse to store a few stuff and it happened again, it’s like the ships get into the lighthouse despite I parked far from it lol, well, if I have time after playing the list, I’ll try to finish the game)
But it’s amazing to see this game being made with web dev tools and running well, it’s magic.
