love the vibe of this game! I think the environment and lighting is really well-made. I don't know if it's just me, but I couldn't quite grasp the goal of the game. I was just walking around and nothing much happened. Great atmosphere still!
The artwork is truly a vibe. The sfx are great. Lighting is awesome.
Gameplay I'm not so sure- I can't really make much progress // I don't know how to progress.
Controls need some work it's not very smooth / missing left and right movement // needs a qol path to make just touching the game easier.
Overall very fascinating game!

The game is about the player making decisions about whether he wants to fight against his routine or resign himself to it and ‘do nothing’. Maybe it's complicated to understand the concept, but as it's not a very long game the fun is to replay it and see the different endings!
Thanks a lot for the feedback :)
If atmosphere was a category I'm sure this game will be in the top 20s! I love the mood built here but as the other guy said, it is unclear sometimes how to progress.
@popdaddygames
First of all, thank you very much for your review :)
We are glad that you like the lighting and atmosphere of the game. We will try to work on the controls to improve them and make them more responsive.
As for the objective, the fun is that the player decides in his daily routine what to do, whether to fight against it or sit back and resign himself to see what ends up happening. It's a short game and the fun is that depending on what you do (or don't do) one thing or another ends up happening. In the end we have tried to make it replayable and have several paths...
Thanks for the suggestions, we'll try to work on it :)
@infecsean
Thank you very much, we are glad you liked the atmosphere and enjoyed it. We have tried to work a lot on the visual and sound to recreate the sensations we were looking for with the idea we had!
One word: EPIC! Two words: SUPER EPIC!
This game is so different from the others and it completely hits the scope of Depths with other meaning which gives it other perspective.
You can see the amount of work put here and i would love to see further updates to give more body to the level.
Good job!!
3D art looks scary and unusual, I like the soap effect. But I do not know what to do in this game, I just went back and forth.
This was really immersive and such a unique concept!
It is looking and feels really great, the atmosphere, the mood mostly, is awesome. I can dig this game, and will do.
Great look and mood. Nice audio. I was intrigued at first but then like others pointed out it was very unclear how to progress.
@sofia-miglan
Thank you for your comment! Sure the game is a little weird because of the time we had but I think it kind of fits the creepy pasta mood :D. We'll probably fix some things to make it more understandable.
@alexrak2 Thank you !! We're glad to hear such kind words :)
@hernandack Thank you for your comment!! We were very focused on the atmosphere that we kind of missed out on the gameplay at the end xD.
@banderander Thanks :) We're aware that the gameplay is a little bit rushed but we'll be fixing some things soon.
Didn't fully understand the game, but it looks absolutely beautiful! Great job!
A promising consciousness game. After reading your comments, I get what you’re trying to express. My suggestion would be to beef up the interactive feedback for players, so they might grasp your intended concepts even better. However, nice work!
i tried 3 times and everytime i get stuck just in starter chair... =/... look a nice atmosphere and nice sounds
@batthecat we've noticed this and other bugs and we'll be fixing the ASAP! We will let you all know once it's working properly.
Beautiful game, sounds like something out of old horror movies. There's something appealing about it! I wish the game wasn't so short:)
Wow! What graphics and what a mood! It's impressive! Honestly, at first, I struggled a bit to understand what I was supposed to do. I'm still in shock from the visuals, the atmosphere you've created is amazing. My sincere congratulations, great game!
@milq Thank you for your feedback! We really focused on the ambiance and atmosphere.
At first I was wandering around confused and worried as the ambiance really made me nervous, to then get teleported back to the seat as the train its speed seemed to have increased. Still unsure what to do, I just wandered around to then at a point get the next increase. For me it feels more like an experience then a game but certainly got the mood right and a lot of promise. If there was more time, checking more cabins with maybe notes about life or something would be my idea but in 72 hours there is only so much you can do. :hugging:
Interesting game, cool work on the ambiance!
The game looks amazing and I love the voxel art style. The creepy aesthetic/vibe is really cool and done well here so good job on all those. I do think some kind of direction for the player is needed tho. Other than that it's a really good game good job!
