Wow. The atmosphere and visuals in this game is astounding to say the least. I felt actually motivated to explore the area, which seems very well made. I ended up wandering off the map I think though, and the screen went completely black.

What a cute game! Always love games where you can take your own pictures, and the art style is very cute (will always have a soft spot for 2D graphics in 3D environments)

Would def play a full game of this.

I really liked how you connected pixel art and 3d :smile_cat:

Nice look to the game, not having to worry about oxygen is refreshing

The atmospehere, the visuals, the gameplay, a VERY good game overall. Feels nice to collect all the photos. Congrats!

Hey this is really cool. Love the pixel art and how the world is build up through simply collecting and reading. It's really compelling! I think if the movement was a little faster or more dynamic it would help. Would like to see what could be achieved it was expanded - like a chill less terrifying subnautica with heaps of lore to be uncovered?

I really liked the idea of this game! Taking pictures was a fun mechanic.

Wow, so much music, art and atmosphere! I am blown away! And it's so relaxing! I am still impressed about how much there is to collect and see and everything with a name! And that you even see the foto you took is the cherry on top! 5/5!

Very relaxing and satisfying snap sounds. Also much to explore. Easy to get lost in and so enjoyable task difficulty : )

Perfect exploration game! Super nice gameplay. I've spent an hour in the game and found all object except 1 artifact, quite curious where I missed it. Anyways, great work!

Beautiful game with a solid background. I love the aesthetic and this ethereal music. Mood is absolutly gorgeous. Thank you for this travel. The possibility to take and collect pictures is really intersting. Your project is weel done and fits perfectly with the theme ++

It's such a moody and atmospheric game! You've managed to build a really nice world in such a short time period. I sadly couldn't find one of the artifacts but other than that I think I found everything! Super nice graphics and good audio! I really like the mix of low poly landscape with pixel art, it works really well!

wonderful game and worth to play.

magnanix 2021-04-28 15:54

Oh my lord, what a wonderful game! I managed to get everything bar 2 artifacts, spend a solid hour searching, you must have hidden them well! Needless to say, I did indeed gulp when I saw -him-, I only had 1 darkness upgrade, and seeing him come from the darkness was intensely freaky. The depths are truly a place for unknown wonders, perfect theming.

cral 2021-04-28 19:26

@magnanix Thanks for playing for so long! We would have loved to add some way of getting hints about the missing pictures. We did make sure everything was collectable however so they are out there!

We really hoped at least one person would have found Gulp at level 1 depth vision, it can get very scary haha! So thank you for fulfilling that for us!

What a game! After 1.5 hours finally shot all the photos. The atmosphere is wonderful. I totally forgot the time while playing. Shooting photos reminded me of another great game. :P Great mechanics. I first thought the shark was attacking me. :D Did not want to go that far.

Absolutely fantastic game, the concept, visuals, audio, everything, amazing!

One really minor bug, when leaving a menu (settings/journal/shop upgrade) the camera rotation is weird, you can't turn all the way round until you click/move and then it's back to normal.

danial 2021-04-29 15:55

Really great execution. The feeling of being underwater was spot on, and the sprite graphics looked great.

caramelcode 2021-05-02 20:08

Wow I'm super impressed by your game. It looks like a game that was built over a year, so the fact that you made all of that from scratch is 72 hours is truly astounding.

shin0nome 2021-05-04 18:10

What a great idea ! It's impressive that you did all that in 72 hours, the game feel and the gameplay are great. Same as the music and the graphics. The atmosphere is incredible and the gameplay loop is perfect. The camera when you are not zooming (shooting photos) is too fast, I think slow it down a bit would be nice, this way you can have a panoramic vision and it would be smoother. But otherwise I had a wonderful time ! Good job !

awww.. I love it! Loved the mix of Sprites and 3D. Damn it I only got 2 items left when I stopped it.

Improvements: * The Dash does not feel very meaningful to me. I would probably either increase movementspeed, or have a constant "sprint". It adds up to the bit of frustration I felt in the end because I was not able to find the missing objects. * Music is nice but a bit too repetetive. * Some sprites are "flickering" but this is minor. * Maybe add a little 3D arrow that would hint in the direction or have a map of unexplored areas??

Overall a super polished nice little experience. Congrats!

This is a masterpiece, I found everything and if there was more I would have played more. I loved everything about it, the submarine that follow you around, the writing of the descriptions, the ambience. It was perfect. Congratulation!!!! 10/10 would play it again.

Beautiful game! I'm struggling to think of anything constructive to mention. Great work!
