that was a cool little experience! i think the escape room/puzzle type stuff was just right and i had a great time with it. great job!

i did run into a bug where when i surfaced onto the boat, i was still using oxygen as if i was still underwater. i was also able to ascend into the sky xD

I really like the concept and had fun :) Fellow diving game!

Really cool game! I loved the story and the underwater ambiance with how you couldn't see that far in front of you. Really creative, interested to see if you take this somewhere in the future.

Really cool atmosphere, and I kept expecting to see a leviathan class lifeform which added to the experience...

Too bad there is not more content.

Could have been a real scary atmospheric puzzle game.

I fell through the sea floor next to the crashed ship (or whatever that was), but after a bit I was able to swim back up.

I loooooove underwater exploration. I'd say it's my favorite type of setting as well and I really enjoyed what you did here. I also encountered a pretty hilarious bug, and as I left the water still in swimming mode I started floating in the air like a balloon. I was free as a bird, quite literally. Good job dear!

I like underwater settings ! This one is great ! Exploring this alien looking pod is enjoyable and the story is a compelling mystery. There is one technical downside : once I am in a menu, I can't seem to exit without completing the task at hand. So when I clicked on a control panel without having found the clue as to what to input in it, I got stucked. Apart from that, great job !

I went to the pin screen before I can find what the code is, which I cannot quit:/ 

Very nice artwork and music overall!

Fantastic narrative experience! I was intrigued from the start, and it's amazing how the simple graphics conveyed the feeling if underwater dread.

No exit for the keypad is an awful bug, so thanks for giving the code on the page, otherwise I couldn't have seen the ending. I'm not sure what I feel about it, but the game was short and sweet and didn't overstayed it's welcome.

Great job!

Hmm, I couldn't get out of the PIN entry screen. It's pretty bad if you forget the PIN for the exit door while you're underwater and only have a few minutes of oxygen left😂
(Unfortunately, I couldn't continue playing afterward because the door was still locked from the other side even after I respawned)

But overall, I really liked the atmosphere. The underwater feeling definitely came across really well. :)

Thanks for the feedback ! I definitely feel stupid to have forgotten something so obvious as resetting state... I guess I was a bit all over the place !

The art and music fit the tone so well! Movements feel smooth too. When I drowned and respawned back on the ship, the game thought I was still underwater,  so I was able to fly around.

Thanks for the feedback ! I just updated this so it doesn't happen anymore (I hope so...)
