It has a special atmosphere. I would say it's an experience, more than a game, and there's nothing wrong with that. The music and graphics create a very relaxing environment, I've enjoyed it!

Reminded me of games related to dreams, lucid dreams etc. There really is something deep to this (pun intended), and like someone else said here, I think it's more a piece of art than a game. A simple observation, a mindfulness experience. A reminder that we are subject to decay, that each of our worlds is decaying as we speak.
Thank you for creating this!

PULSEYou really nailed the theme on this one, I think the boat falling apart as you progress was a cool representation of gradual decay.

Disaster Aboard EFF Mill BayI liked the atmosphere you created quite a lot, the simple waves really gave me the feeling of being very far out to see, sometime I even thought the boat was sliding backwards down a wave which made my stomach drop a little, thank you for sharing this experiment, I enjoyed playing through it!

What Lies BeneathThat was an oddly satisfying experience. I think it's more similar to an art piece than a game.

No experience requiredLOVED the atmosphere! I think the abstract feel was great, it would have been paired well if the boat wasn't a high definition asset, but it didn't take away from the immersion. Without objectives, movement felt a little aimless, but as things started to decay, that actually felt okay. Nice work and awesome interpretation of the theme.
