This game is very artistic and thematic! The artworks are stellar and very beautifully drawn. The premise of the game is very mysterious, and the storytelling gives a feeling of bittersweetness. Great job on this game!

Yay!!! It's THE diving game!! Love the arts, the girl is so cute <3

Finally I have found the narrative masterpiece of this jam! I love the visual presentation of the game.

The drawings, the 3D models and also the overall narrative pacing is incredibly well done and reminds me very much of Yume Nikki and similar story-driven experiences, especially Japanese ones. The philosophy is exactly my jam (heh) and because of my thalassophobia, I feel even more attracted to the absolute dreadful environment. The music reminds me very much of atmospheric tunes like that from Y24U, Taishi or Nhato.

Unfortunately though, the character controls are very clunky and the overall user experience of the game is not particularly smooth, at least for me. Smoother controls and options for sound and key remapping would be a very nice addition.

This is an amazingly great submission though, very well done! I absolutely look forward to what you will do next!

Such a beautiful game!

Awsome visuals obviously, sadly i didn't have time to do all endings so i feel like i missed a decent  bit of content. One critcism i can give is underwater movement felt a little too slow after a point, i wish there was a "sprint" button or something similar. Outside of that, great job!

The art is so beautiful and I like the slow reveal of the narrative. It takes so long to get all the endings though ;;

Absolutely gorgeous art, both 3D and 2D, probably my favourite so far in terms of aesthetics. The 3D spatialized audio such as from the record was a nice touch, but could've blended a bit better with the ambience.

Thank you Junferno. I agree on the audio settings. Will polish it as well as the gameplay.
