Creative Use of Bezi Ghost - Great idea using the Bezi ghost as a part of the tutorial system. I wish he'd been incorporated a little more into the gameplay itself!

General Fun - Pretty solid game loop. Felt like the beginnings of something really cool! I can definitely see this as being an indie sleeper hit once you've had time to polish it up and juice the systems a bit more.

Art and Visuals - Really, really solid. Very cool aesthetic, very cool atmosphere. I really enjoyed walking around and chatting with the crew, just to get an idea of where their heads were at. I wish there was a bit more feedback when I fed the monster! I wasn't sure if I'd done it successfully until I noticed the stomach UI in the corner.

Unique Mechanics - Fishing and cooking aren't necessarily unique, but when wrapped up in the narrative of being the ship's cook for a mad captain, it takes on a whole new identity. 

Overall - Awesome work! Really enjoyed and and am definitely looking forward to seeing what this game becomes once you've had a chance to "cook" a bit!

Really liked the atmosphere.
However , i was bugging out whenever i was interacting with the Bezi ghost. 

The fishing could have a lil bit more of a polish like some sploosh effect when throwing the fishing line
and some camera shake when we had to maintain the bar.

Nonetheless a unique stylized game and i hope it set it flourish as a full fledged game!

Yeah, sadly I didnt have enough time to polish the bugs and add extra juice to the fishing gameplay

I plan to continue it and make it a full game with proper narrative and story

thank you so much for playing!

Oh man what a fun atmosphere! It gave me "Lighthouse" vibes mixed with ancient horrors. I love the feel and poly-look of the game, especially with how you made Bezi look. The ghastly appearance with the animated eyes were really well done!

The gameplay also felt super immersive with the various NPC's. I can definitively see this being a fun survival game with more time to cook on the upgrades system. Great job!
