I was compelled to relive my journey through the dark waters. But why?
Because I loved the atmosphere and art style. Also, the starting cutscene was really cool (I only wish I was not forced to watch it every time I die and restart the game). The music does a lot to create a dark and moody atmosphere. But controls were somewhat too unresponsive for my liking, this, combined with some beasts (who look really cool, btw) very inconsistent collision area made my experience more frustrating than spooky.
With that said, this game definitely has a unique and interesting identity and presentation style. Great job nailing it!
