How does your game fit the theme?
You're a detective that delves deeper and deeper into a case, until they are to far gone.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Code/animation/dialogue, yes but some sound effects and models where used from websites like Pixabay and sketchfab

The first few areas of this game are incredible, I enjoyed deducing their location from notes and thought the map navigation was really cool. The scene after reaching the dock with the map seemed a little flat. I initially chose the aggressive option, and saw that the game ended.
I was happy to see a scene selector after the credits so I could go back and try again, but despite different choices, reached the same ending.
I didn't go back for a third try, so I will ask, is there a different ending sequence? If not, then I feel that the end is just a series of fake choices that do not matter, and so as a gameplay sequence is far less interesting than the earlier areas.

Scuba Steve's Salvage SquadThere was absolutly supposed to be a second ending, but I ran out of time, The one ending the game has now is some kind of ducktaped together hybrid of the 2 planned endings.
The attack option was supposed to let you kill the other guy with a few quick time events, and then you would throw him in the water. but, this was obviously way to ambitious and didn't make it in.
I hope that this didn't completly ruined your experience and I completly agree that the last options are kinda useless.
But I'm glad you enjoyed the first parts!
I need to know what happens next ;3; Amazing work, visually speaking I don't think any other game will top this. From the first few sentences I reckognized that you must be the easter-egg guy I've seen during development phase :) Make this a full game! You guys really did something special

evie and junoAbsolutely incredible that this was made in 7 days! And it's really nice to see a more creative take on the theme.
Also, nice detail of having a game within a game, that was cool.

Diving Bell MayhemReally nice atmospheric game. Great art direction. I like the writing. Gameplay in this game is not something great or innovative, but I think in this case it was made to work for the story, and it does it job. I really want more

Long Jump CliffsThis was truly enjoyable :)! Congrats! The highest rating for me so far. I really dig the art direction, very cinematic. Even with nice credits at the end! The black and white obviously fits the noir theme and it works very well. We have done this in our game EUR01 as well ;). But then with a more literal take on the theme. You have a nice link with the theme, but not too obvious.

EUR01one word, and one word only... "wow"... friend... make this a full game... I want to see this expanded on a full release so badly...

Crystal DepthsJESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH...THIS WAS MADE IN A WEEK?!
Mate, you need to release stuff on Steam. The graphics, the story, the audio, the aesthetic, the polish, hell, YOU EVEN INCLUDED A GAME WITHIN A GAME. Most people struggle to finish 1 in a week, and you made a little minigame as well?!
My only complaint is that I legit want more of this. I don't know if it has multiple endings, it doesn't seem like it, but I want to know how this story continues. So badly.
Massive friggin kudos dude. This is incredible.
