Nice immersion and idea. Loved to see another entry with voice-over though in some cases the volume of dialogue should be louder

Love the graphics of that game! I don’t know if it’s intended but the shipwreck has no collision. Great work though!
Good story, good immersion.
Some criticism:
- Some cutscenes (ship moving over jazz music, staring at gas, etc.) should be skippable, especially since nothing interesting happens in that scene
- There should be more clarity when your player character is taken over for a cutscene.
Thanks for playing! I figured for such a short game that is largely based around story and setting, that skipping the cut scenes could leave people a bit confused as to what was going on, but appreciate your point. I could maybe have cinematic black bars appear bottom and top of the screen to indicate a cut scene or something. Thanks again,!
Strangely immersive. Unfortunate that you couldn't have real VAs for this, but it is what it is
Not sure if intentional but it seemed the end scene still triggered prematurely despite me never pressing M. It would loop the word game twice and then end in the middle of the second game.
The boat actually feels nice, I wish the game was more central to the boat rather than the word game
Cool submission
Pretty neat game. Wished there was more with the boat controls :/
Hope you'll also try mine :) https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973690
This game felt kinda deep... The voice acting was good was invested in what was going on screen, what they were talking about, felt the tension in the player. Really well designed.
I think the first meteor sound effect was also voiced by you. Felt funny:D
Kudos!! You made a great story. :D
Like the start of a movie. Great performance. Nicely atmospheric (though the rain falls up). Probably the kindest coast guard. I can't help but thinking that Jon is going do die. It's a bummer, but a it's an engaging bummer.
Feels like I just watched a short film. Cool atmosphere in the game and good voice acting!
It showed the end screen before I finished the mini-game with the lady on the phone (I was not the brightest player XD). But it was still showing the input field on top of the end screen, so I was able to finish the game anyway.
It's funny, I already got a kick out of just riding a boat before the girl suggested I just enjoy the view.
Reminded me of The Stanley Parable in spirit.
Very high-quality voice acting, hats off!
Interesting experience, the end screen did appear before the game was over, played the most of the word game during the end screen, which also means I got spoiled, didn't notice it though. Neat little experience, not much else I can say.
ah sorry to hear you found a bug :( this one is new to me, do you mind telling me where it happened exactly, did the end scene just trigger half way through the last conversation? Was it WebGL or stand alone? It’s obviously just supposed to trigger once you complete the game, would like to fix after the jam. Thanks for playing!
