Really like this game, the mood is great and works really well with the sound. The movement makes you feel like you're underwater but isn't too slow. GUI is a little on the big side. Nice entry Adam(:

Thanks for the feedback :) much appreciated!

The mood was absolute great, but the slow pacing of the game was just painfully slow.

Hi there,

great game you made! I liked the atmosphere and the audio which really creates a nice mood.

The "blocky" Character and the really big level (could probably be divided into more smaller levels are some drawbacks.
Nevertheless i had a good time playing! :)

Thanks for the feedback guys :)

Amazing atmosphere and aesthetics. I did feel that the game played way too slowly though. It does contribute to the overall theme and feel of the game in terms of slow discovery but it also leaves the game without any interesting mechanics.

Awesome in terms of an experience but not so much as a game. Still, amazing work and great use of the theme!

Yeh I wanted it to be a slow-paced game but I know what you mean about it playing too slowly. I definitely need to think more about how it plays as a game next time.

If I get time tonight I might increase the speed a little before the deadline.

That's a great game, I love it. Fantastic work

Poignant, beautiful, it really gives the feeling of night diving; the disorientation, the vastness of what one floats in. The mood was perfect, the music too. The only critique I have is about the GUI. A bit too big and took away from the field of vision. I wouldn't say it was too slowly. Diving isn't a fast pastime! Amazing work!

Very good entry. I like how it fits the theme on two levels. The atmosphere complemented by the audio was amazing and I'll repeat what the others said - the GUI was a bit of a problem. It hides the bottom part of the screen and since most of the time you're descending it is kinda in the way.

Very nice. I like overall ambiance is fine. Like the music.

A nice contemplative work. I think the interpretive nature of the phrases works really well and the music is awesome, the audio fits just right.

Really love it, graphics and mood are very expresive. Good job !

I went deeper but nothing happened. The mood was great, though.

Nice visual and audio atmosphere. The movement is really slow, but fits well the game.

Great experiment! Dark story with a great mood and polish graphics, good job! =)

I think the slow pace really adds a lot to the tension and mood of the game. Yes, it can get a little bit frustrating if you're in a hurry to get to the end, but the atmosphere was so gripping I didn't feel like I needed to rush.

crooksister 2014-05-02 07:56

Love the atmosphere. I didn't find truth though :/

Would it be possible to have a Linux export?

Fantastic game, controls so well, story is cool, graphics are great, sound is great, lighting is great, everything is great :D GUI is a little too big, but otherwise, the game is very fun. Fantastic Job.

The is a great first entry. Love the visuals. Really effective.

Nice game. Kinda too big and slow for a exploration game... but, at the same time, it was quite nice getting the story only from what you found... I specially liked the audio snippets.

I really liked this.

invisibleman 2014-05-09 20:27

My guess is that I'm not going to find the truth o.O I have a suspicion that the game is randomly generating terrain as I go, and I'm not actually going anywhere, lol

This was intense. The atmosphere is great and very sad. Very cool job.
