Weird experience. Darker than what I thought before playing the game ! Good job.
Very neat short experience! I found the control scheme a bit clunky, particularly with picking up and using items, and I wish there were a bit more interactability, but overall the presentation was very solid. Fantastic job with nailing the unsettling tone with the graphics and sound design!
Quite spocky!
Like the gameplay design but not the guidance.
I would like to have more info from the top right room, so that I don't have to check the problem and run back for correct tool... But maybe that's just how this game works.
5 stars!
It was actually planned to have the light colors change as an indicator of what tool you'd need on the screen but in my rush to get it published and polish the art/sound and test the level layout's it was forgotten. I didn't even notice at first...I playtested so many times to make sure the rooms linked properly I had the damage memorized.
The graphics are out of place, but in good way. It was very good short experience!
I did not really found anything to do, but drawings was pretty great.
I love that drawings. I have just stand there and look at them :D
I really liked the hand-drawn visual style, being quite different than what I expected to see. Theme seems to fit relatively well, both in the sense of the submarine as well as the game progression.
It would have been nice to have an indicator on what you can interact with, as I ran around trying to interact with all sorts of things in the beginning. Perhaps also some sort of indication on what should be done, but with the description on here, it wasn't a problem. Music could have surely helped to set the mood, though you can't have everything, can you? :)
It'll be great to finish this game! An interesting concept, design and idea in general, beautiful graphic
I think the hand-drawn style really adds to the experience. Very atmospheric with some unexpected twists. I agree that picking up items is kind of clunky and it gets a bit repetitive. I got to the end, wasn't sure what to make of the ending. I found navigating the sub quite intuitive. I could have done with some atmospheric music playing all the time, that would have made the experience better.
Overall, a very cool experience.
Really love the art style and overall mood of this piece. I think you all did a great job with it. I would have liked to be able to find the tools around the ship(?) and carry them all around, I'm not sure backtracking after checking the problems was helpful for the experience. But the awesome work with the ending sequence. I thought I had somehow broke the game at first.
Very spooky game. You definitely feel like you're playing through a downward spiral!
I loved the hard drawn style of this game. I felt the it fit well with the direction and theme of the game. Good job
Got a spook out of me when I wasn't expecting it. Good job :thumbsup:
Nice work. This could have been really awesome if time wasn't an issue, but hey, it's a challenge. It's cool that it had an ending. The art was good too. The only thing I can say is if there was an indicator like a sound, an exclamation point, or something red on the useable objects so the player can figure out what to do easier that would help.
I really enjoyed the style! Nice game.
Многое является не тем, чем кажется. Ты просто ходишь, чинишь подводную лодку, а оказывается, что ты не лодку чинишь, а делаешь что-то еще? Вот это поворот. Атмосферная лодка, глубокая игра, гнетущее впечатление. Спасибо ^_^
It really enjoyed this! It was surprising, atmospheric and a little spooky.. ok very spooky!
Thanks for submitting it! Exactly the style of game I like, similar in a way to the Cube Escape games. I want more!
I really enjoyed the art style. I think it could do with some more music or ambient noise to help really sell the ambience.
Very cool! I enjoy the art a lot. I wish there was a little more music and such, but when it was there it added a lot. You could add onto this a bit more and make it even more eerie if you wanted, I loved how everything was changing around you. Super good job!
Loving the graphics. They are crude, but it is better to be crude than default Unity graphics.
Well done game. I felt like you created a great atmosphere. All the art, sounds, and gameplay mechnaics came together super well. The pencil art is amazing! I love how you wrote this from scratch. Super huge props to you all. And thank you for the flaming toilet haha
Really cool idea for the Art style ! It was really helping the global mood of the game.
Nice one! I actually like the hand drawn style. You're a great artist! The lighting works really well. Also like the small bits of terror on the submarine combined with the background music. The tool mechanic is a bit simplistic, but the experience of being alone on a nightmare submarine balances this out. Good job!
