Was not expecting a spooky narrative game!
I was confused on my first pass because I thought you were supposed to fish and aim into the circles, and then I sailed out into the abyss where the water texture stopped haha.
It was a neat experience afterwards when I actually fished out of the appropriate spots.
As a note, I got soft locked on my second attempt when I clicked too fast (?) or perhaps sailed away from the initial spook before resolving it.
