Amazing work! Absolutely loved the opening cutscene, really felt oppressive and dark down in the water. Fantastic job!

Amazing work! Absolutely loved the opening cutscene, really felt oppressive and dark down in the water. Fantastic job!
Wow amazing! Well designed and polished game. Really like the cutscenes
Love art style and control feels good. Thank for your job!
The opening cutscene reminded me of old Newgrounds stuff :) I enjoyed the gameplay too - felt quite tense exploring with the light!
A very beautiful, atmospheric and polished game
I like the bio-technology aesthetic. I think the currently the art style (while swimming) and specifically the enemy movements would need to be worked on to make this game more of a horror game, though I think the game could be developed more in the exploration direction instead of trying to make the horror more extreme. I think the art style and worldbuilding could together make a cool non-linear map with a similar goal of finding a bio-corp package.
Wow, played through in one go — great difficulty tuning with masterful tension pacing. Good Luck!
The intro cutscene was INCREDIBLE! The tone and vibes are just incredible. Great work!
This was really good! Very nice opening, and I loved the music.
Very nice vibe, smooth controls for the most part, might be a skill issue on my part but i kept accidentally hitting the damn kelp things when i was turning around. Very solid entry, great work!
Really like music, i guess i could be more exiting if there will be damage from collision with walls (or losing collected minerals). Nice work!
amazing game, the opening animation suprise me!
Nice game, atmospheric, really liked the mechanics of scaring away predatory fish and the character sprite is beautiful and smooth. Contrast between the initial screensaver on the surface and the dark depth of the abyss. Thanks for this game!
I really love the opening cutscene!! The game's atmosphere is neat. GG guys :)
Best game ever of course!
Had a good time with this one. The atmosphere is solid, loved the cutscenes. Some of the enemy hitboxes felt larger than they should have. The light mechanic was super fun! Good job.
This did a really good job of setting a spooky mood, and I thought the graphics were excellent. The starting and ending cutscenes did a really good job of emphasizing how you're traveling from a relatively mundane place to a really spooky place. If there's one thing I'd change, it'd probably be the difficulty: Narrowly avoiding being eaten by a monster is spooky, but repeatedly retrying escaping from a monster is less scary after a few tries.
