This is sick! I get Dredge vibes in the best way possible. This could easily be a fun mini game as part of a larger horror game - something Cthulu related maybe. I think the player could benefit from some kind of hint showing where the anomaly is. Maybe a ripple in the water. Or like a splash or something. Just a quick hint so I don't constantly circle my mouse around the screen like a madman with a wish for Carpal Tunnel. Really great vibes, worldbuilding, and artwork though!

Oooo, I haven't heard of Dredge yet but upon googling, man! does it look good! I'll give it a try one day :] And thank you so much for checking out my game! I do feel like not hinting where the anomaly is is part of the experience, to punch up the anxiety of the player yk :)) However, I plan to add sound effects for when the anomalies dissipate so player knows when to stop shining their light! And of course, I hope to expand more on the worldbuilding and the duo of Bill and Phil hehe
Thank so much again! I just checked out your game and the Persian-esc vibes and mechanics are incredibly interesting! Good luck on the jam!
