How does the game fit the theme?

This was quite enjoyable once I figured out how to play it. The randomness is a good way to keep the game interesting. I liked that the music was there but never felt obtrusive or too repetitive. The main thing I would say is that if you only have one thing that can move, there should be no need to click it, just highlight the next available tiles and save the double click.

Nice! I have some criticisms like the text being hard to read or the movement being somewhat awkward, but overall it was very impressive for a jam game!

A good jam game. My only gripe was having to click the ship every time I want to move. It would make sense to have to do that with multiple units to control, but with only one it seems like it would have made more sense to only have to click once to move instead of twice. Other than that, solid graphics and audio, and I love the fact that I didn't have to read any of that and it was all voiced. Nice work!

Honestly really fun for a game jam! I really liked the voice acting, and the lore of the notes was really interesting! Great job!

really unique gameplay! it reminds me a bit of minesweeper, but there were a lot of fun gameplay options that made for more diverse runs. also impressive that you managed to get so much voice acting work done in the short timeframe, really nice work!

Rated!

The voice acting, worldbuilding, and general polish were very impressive! Especially to have been done in seven days!

I like the main menu's background as well.

Good job!

Cool game :)
There's no place stranger than the Bermuda Triangle.

The world is really interesting, though I wasn't able to get everything and rescue the ship. My main issue was that the cursive text is hard to read, so it's good that the journals and intro are voiced. Nice work.

Solid across the board! I especially enjoyed the "time rewind" event, as it really amped the feeling that I was actually in a strange place.

Loved the voice acting. The graphics were very cohesive. I wasn't sure if there were any meaningful things to do besides just going to the next icon on the map.
