A nice short game. The "Prayer" section does not appear to have hints on what the propper lines are, but there is no penalty for failing, and you get clear indication which answer you guessed right, so this is not a big deal.

The hint to pass level 3 being hidden on level one is a nice touch.

Graphic-wise, the slightly bent lines and greenish tint of the walls give an impression that you are moving underwater. Really a good effect. The sound effects are non intrusive, but accompany the atmosphere well. Thogh maybe some more effects while interacting with the creatures would help.

A cool game but i have found the controls a bit unsatifactory... it seems like that you cannot move as you want but the game is prety nice

Very interesting. I loved the creature drawings and the atmosphere

Very lovecraftian, but needs some creepy music.

So is the pun in the title the fact that you combined Disney's "Finding Nemo" with Lovecraft's Yog-Sothoth? Even if it isn't, this is my interpretation and I believe it fits :grin:

I liked the setting. Felt like that could be a story of how a cultist came to be. The game is indeed dark, but there is enough lights to see the nice squids. Very nice drawings there.

As to controls, I think you could just ditch Return altogether and keep Space for both interaction and advancing dialogue. You created a good underwater atmosphere with both the graphics and sparse soundscape. Well done.

@fabula-rasa ah yes someone got my stupid joke! Also, thanks for the criticism. I'll admit it was lazy just to record my tap running and calling it ambient sound lol
