A game with a pun for the name? Most excellent.
I love the concept. I think it works extremely well for the theme, especially as someone who has a genuine fear of the ocean. There's so much to it, such vastness, and it's a great illustration of risk vs reward - there's much to discover, but ... well, there's also much to *encounter*. xD
And, well, I found that out first hand as I was thoroughly beaten and bullied by a kraken and shark. xD
All the best with the jam!!
