beautiful ambience. cute how you could interact with the fish. this one fish that was following me for a while i named pete. but then he ran off :(
loved how you could interact with your enviroment in such subtle ways. I loved watching how different fish would react to my light and such. and the end was cool. so i read in a comic here, there is something special depending on the order. I imagine the name selko has to do with selkies? that makes sense given the end.
very enjoyable gameplay. The plot was very...interesting. Felt like some sort of social expierment to see how much people would be willing to just accept at face value. everyone is terrible, and this patient's absolutley ridiculous paranoia was heeded by the doc as if it was normal. santa showed up, and that was just accepted, and he insisted that the creature in the patient's dream was always right as if he knew what it was beforehand. And all of this we never even saw, we simply heard it as we navigated blood vessels.
The repeated insistence that something was there by the rest of the cast when there was no sane reason to suspect as much, as well as all of the rest of the insanity, made it feel like ship was being gaslit. In conjunction with this idea, a lot of the other comments are correct in saying that an antibiotic would not work against a virus. But rather then changing what the doc calls it, a line or two of incredulity by ship(like: doc"these are your antibiotics the best thing for killing viruses etc" ship:"but aren't antibiotics for bacteria, not viruses? Wait, what is this stuff, really?" doc:"go get em, champ") would maybe be funny. Another thing was that viruses are prolly always smaller then blood cells, but my disbelief was suspended easily enough that it dosent really matter.
but yeah, overall the game was great, with fun gameplay and bizzare dialouge(in a good way). I would occasionally run into bacteria that becuase of the cell paths available to me seemed like they were impossible to collide with, which was kind of aggravating. then again given how the dialouge was seemingly to mess with ship its possible that can be considered a feature rather then a bug. Depends on how much you hate your players.
So it seemed the creature was right, something was there deeper. But i cant help wondering if perhaps "deeper" meant beyond the physical...
Wow i couldnt get farther past 210 meters. but i dissagree and see that as a feature and not a bug. that being said were this a completled/shared/potentially profitbale off of product, yea ur gonna want easier modes. but for now that was a ton of fun! the music is great. also it almost sort of felt like a rhythym game, not in that it was, but had the spawn patterns of the bats been in time with the music that woulda been cool.
adorable im still confused on the controls but just saw your thing about keybords. idk if Azerty's are a big thing but that is probably why im struggling. will give another shot, might wanna have a pop up or sumn to get people to pick the right one before starting.
