This was so awesome!!!!!!!! The whale making noises in the background as you run around was just a chefs kiss. 

My only note is make it longer and elaborate more. More weird and strange villagers! 

Would love it if you'd check my game out (Maybe we can Collab and I can provide some voice overs for your next one). 

Awesome experience though, so cool :)

I really enjoyed the story! The game was very well written, and the character designs were very cool as well. Although, I did get a bit lost at times but in the end I managed to figure out what to do next. Great job!

This is clever.  Interesting character design and story development.  Nice job!

Nice story with unique characters and nice dialogues. :)

One detail that made no sense. The butcher gave me the cleaver and said something along the lines “get me the eye”, although the boy did not mention it. And later he asked “what is it?”, or maybe I remember it incorrectly. But besides that I had a great time playing this game on linux!

This game is really fun; although, I would have loved to explore the interiors. This game has that PS1 graphics where everything just looks completely pixelated, including the terrains. Interacting with different people was rewarding and sometimes I would get lost, but the map isn't super big so I did figure it out at the end.

Removing the eye on the whale was really horrifying and the theme of the game actually teaches the player to get outside of their comfort zone in order to succeed and survive.

The plot was interesting to me, it would be nice to see the fate of the whale and what happens afterwards with the island's folk  :)

Look closely at the credits scene to see the whale's fate 😉

I honestly enjoyed this game, from the story line to having to do the task for the npc's, this story has a deeper story line and that's what makes it scary

Love the character designs.  Both on visual and dialog sides.
