Which Theme did you choose?

Endless Ocean

How did you implement your chosen Theme in your game?
Endless Ocean: The vast Atlantic and the enigmatic Bermuda Triangle form the core of the game's lore. Have you ever heard the legends? Once you enter this mystical void, you may never return. The ocean doesn't just surround you. It traps you in a truly endless voyage where the horizon never changes and escape is an illusion.

Did you implement any of your Theme's Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?
The implemented Bonus Challenges:
1) Non-Euclidean Space: the game contains scenes where a ship undergoes abnormal corrosion and spatial anomalies. Its interior and environment begin to defy logical geometry, creating a non-Euclidean experience where physics and direction no longer apply.

2) Truly Endless: this concept is revealed at the end of the game. [Spoiler Alert!] Caught in a temporal loop, the protagonist is condemned to eternal captivity, abandoning all hope for salvation.

Does your game contain AI-generated assets?

Yes

The way you build up the story is amazing honestly you guys are extremely talented I absolutely loved the idea behind it all the ending left with a bit of dread like for some reason I started imagining myself in a situation like that... (obviously i won't spoil it everyone should play this for themselves) one criticism I had was the lack of intractability in the game I was hoping I'd be able to inspect more stuff especially in the captains room other than that I liked the game a lot its awesome thanks alot for making I'm usually not into visual novels but this is really good :)

We can't thank you enough! You can't even imagine how encouraging your words are. It means we’ve achieved exactly the experience we wanted for the player, which is incredibly valuable!

Thank you for the feedback regarding the lack of interactivity. It’s an issue we’re aware of, and we hope to work on it so that you feel part of the story even more deeply than before. Regardless, happy to hear you liked the hidden object feature!

Thanks a lot for taking the time to play our novel and leave your comment! We truly appreciate it
