I am really amazed of what you did in less than 72 hours. Unfortunately I could not finish the game, but I had a great time playing it. Great graphics, great story, really good choice for the music. The controls were smooth. Well done!

Wow! This is so well done, I can't believe it was made in 72 hours. The music, the mood, the controls feel just like rowing a heavy boat, great job!

The game is pretty creative and atmosphere is great, but I agree with one of the boys "never tought the end of the world would be this boring"

Like the wiming on top of a wavy water Or appearing text or "THE WATER HAS CAUSTICS :O

I really like that take on the "deeper and deeper" topic! The writing was so great, loved all the bits of story I found so far! Also love that art style, it just works so well! Very beautiful game, congrats on such a great entry :)

i loved the glitch effect, the fishing rod mechanics and well balanced sound effects.

The story was super intriguing, and those boat coversations gave me God of War 2018 flashbacks haha. Rowing the boat is quite satisfying too. Great job!

Amazing music, omg I cant believe the ambience, music and simple chat bubbles made me feel really worried for the sister character :_) great game

Great stuff. Love the music and dialogue between the characters!

Really moody, good job on doing all that by yourself in 72hours, good taste of music too. I got lost, it may lack some indication at one point but I may just be plain dumb. Can we "beat" the game ?

citsua 2021-04-27 18:38

@narom42 Thank you for your comment! You can beat it indeed. There's a note near the lighthouse that might help with that. And if you got lost, it's probably because the fog gets thicker over time. It's fairly easy to navigate at the beginning, but near the end it gets real harder. The key point not to forget is the first clue: NORTH. Thank you for playing :)

I really loved the mood and the story! The boat felt reasonably satisfying to navigate with too! I also fell into the camp of not knowing if you can "beat" the game, as I failed once the fog got very thick despite keeping myself north. Very impressive for one person in 72 hours though!

Wow, I haven't finished the game yet, but I've tried it several times already. Exciting. This is the level!

There you go! Played and rated! Pretty cool!.

Loved it :) This game has emotion. I was instantly interested due to the rain and I was not disappointed :D Really impressed and inspired how you balanced dialogues together with rowing the boat.

I hope you continue to work on it and release it on Steam.

Emotional undertones and a pretty gripping story. I wish I had more time to go looking for all of the secrets hidden within. The pacing came off a bit slow and while I appreciate exploratory gaming I felt pretty lost as to what my real goal was and the water didn't rise fast enough for me so I had to just sit and wait at some points to get a book or two, but overall not bad at all.

Great game. Rowed around for sometime only to be lost in the fog. The wave and rain were really well done and I enjoyed how smooth the boat controls were.

@citsua Thanks for your advices, I found the note that I was missing and escaped the canyon (I died in it before but I got the North clue) - really nice little game
