This is a very cute game! I feel a little sorry for the dog...
Waiting for the HTML version! Looking forward to testing this!
EDIT: And just I was typing this, it was released! Playing right now!
@nash I had to fix a bug, so I quickly deleted and uploaded the fixed version! thanks for playing :)
This was quite grim and interesting!
As many of the choises will have bad concequences (that is kind of the point of the game), at some point I started feeling that there were actually no decisions to make. I just felt like clicking through menus and no matter what I chose, the end result was bad.
But what the game succeeded at was creating this very grim and hopeless mood. Maybe sometimes the gameplay does not have to be that interesting - if the experience is. I think this game falls into that kind of category.
Thanks for the solid entry!
this game has quite a unique vibe to it, very interesting. the music and the sound of the sea is mesmerising, very nice touch. also liked the graphics, very nice work! :smile:
nice idea, a rouge like on castaways.
This was really cool. I see the potential in making a fully fledged game like this.
One thing I was confused about was the hunger and water bar. I thought when the meter was full it meant that the crewmates were good on food/water.

That was bleak. In a good way.
The random events are both cruel and realistic, and removing the specific numerical displays actually makes them feel more like real-life situations. The usage of items in the game is quite refreshing as well.
I cried in my sleep because I lost the fight over pineapple on pizza. Hahahaha. Now I know what's for dinner.
Great game here! The art, music, and writing were all really engaging and entertaining. Nice job!
I liked the atmosphere of the game but it was starting to get boring reading the same text from time to time.
I like this take on the theme! And nice choice of music, it adds a lot to the atmosphere of the game. Some choices were very difficult to make, I lost Jim right before being rescued :(
Very nice story and atmosphere. Managed to survive until saved, with 2 buddies died. This game reminds me of "60 Seconds!". I love this kind of genre and enjoy the game. Well done for the entry!
I very much liked the take on the theme. It made for a well executed story and I had much fun playing through it. Well done!
It has 60 Seconds vibes! I manage to find the island on the first playtrough without any incidents :D I was a little suprised! I like the text parts but I tended to skip text if I saw that I already saw it.
Great game though :)
Won on my first go! The whole time kept thinking "This game is just oozing with polish". The art direction was very unified, the gameplay easy to understand, the UI clean and clear, and the audio was on point. The wave noises, and when the fishes popped out of the water. Yup, this is one of my top #10 for sure. Nicely done!
5/5 mood. One of the best entries this LD. I was able to win on my first go, not without some sacrifices though.
Great job!!!
I may have lost some crewmates but the dog is okay and that's what matters.
At some points I felt like I was losing track of everyone's status only to find that they were already dying (woops). Especially near the end I also got the impression that there weren't many choices to make and as I had no way of regaining food or water I kind of resigned myself. Though in a way that's not too unlike what it might be like for the player character as well. I liked that the items you choose in the beginning shape the actions you can take later on, and the little conversations!
Wooow,nice take on the theme! I lost Ellie on the way... But I, Jim, Chris and the dog survived ^-^ I really enjoyed reading the consequences of my choices :) Congrats for this amazing game^^
Veeeery cool! I really like the art style and overall mood and the floaty animations. Also quite funny albeit the darkness. Only thing I was unsure about is if there's any way to save your crewmates - they are often hungry or thirsty and then just die without there being any possibility to give them food or water I think? Plus, I don't think any of the items I brought impacted the game. And of course it would have been nice for the people to look a bit differently. :D But all that aside, really well done!
