I like the scary vibe this game gives. A little hard to understand the game at first, but it's really good! The sound design adds to the creepiness, and of course the Lidar sensor. Something charging at you was so scary lol.

Really nice game, the graphics are also amazing but there is a little too much reading to do.

Wow, that was kind of scary!
All of the ambience and story are really well done here.
The way you implemented the Lidar system made me terrified from... dots. but the sounds they make is really cool!
Good Job!

I really really liked this on a conceptual level - the visuals and audio fit the feeling perfectly. I kept wanting to move the windows around by dragging the top of the window with left mouse, I've been trained to do that my whole life :) 

I'll have to return to this one to finish it, seems like there may be some practice needed

I love this "green hackers" visual. A little bit glitchy becuause when i move icon upper and I open page I can't close it! Nice work :))

This is very reminiscent of Iron Lung. Loved the execution, and addition of your original elements to the game. It is a bit too long for a jam game, but ig that is a good thing for a game?

Anyways, a lot of work has been put into this one, loved it!

Interesting. Reminds me of Iron Lung.

5/5 for art, simplicity, and sound!! You absolutely nailed the polish for this game! Could easily be made into a full game with more content or levels/stories

You really perfected the arty and sound design here. Everything felt cohesive and the mood was really strong and atmospheric. My only real gripe is that some of the controls and windows feel a bit unresponsive. Great entry!

Great game!

The music made me feel the fear of being under the sea

I'm not a fan of text-heavy games, but the story is interesting

It would be nice if the interaction of the interface could be optimized to make it easier for players to see all the information

The map should have coordinates and the windows behave very weirdly.
But other than that the game is really fun.

Looks great and the controls feel good. The ending was unexpected.

Very athmospheric, I really like the audio in this, very spoopy! Resizable windows would've made the interface a lot more intuitive to use. Good job!

kind of just a worse version of iron lung

Wow, I really like the visuals. Simple and effective, really felt like I was in a submarine stumbling around underwater. I don’t know if this is meant to be horror (edit: yes it is! good job!), but I was spooked a few times.

Was hoping to hear more of the story, but unfortunately got frustrated with the difficulty of the navigation pretty quickly. Took many tries to find my first sub, and when I did the read data button didn’t work at first. Maybe start off near the first sub, and give the player it’s coordinates as a tutorial?

It’d be nice to use arrow keys to move and space bar to pulse, don’t even need a windows for it. Movement was not very fun.

Really like the overall theme of the interface (felt like an under-staffed sub!) but they don’t all need to be big windows. Couldn’t fit everything on screen at one time, and e.g. the data button can just perform the action, no need to open a whole window for it.
