The audio design was superb! It really felt like a cave

I'm not sure I "got" the game. It seem to suggest I should use the right click to do the light thing when the monster is near, and maybe also turn around to see if it's their when the waves are loud? I never found them monster really - but I did found a picture of someone (the dev?), and it was a little repetitive to keep draging to move forward, and I actually wasn't sure if I was caught and the game looped back?

Still, the atmosphere is second to none, and if I saw the monster I would probably get a heart attack, so maybe it's for the best :)

Solid game. I quite liked the eerie audio effects , and the crawl-by-mouse-drag was super original - at least for me, as I haven't seen such a control mechanic used before.

The cave looks realistic and it is easy to get lost, like in a real cave. There is not much going on in the game, so after a while it gets boring crawling endless tunnels. Eventually I found the prosecutor...

An extremely effective "despiration" simulator. The dread that you feel when you encounter a barrier during the tight sections where you can't turn around is very real. Also, I loved the dragging mechanic - really adds to the immersion! 

Very impressive to have created a pretty effective horror game in a game jam guys, congrats!

This is great. I think a little bit more polish and this could be a steam viable game. Nice work!

Really cool concept, I like the cave design and the climbing+movement feel really good. The crouch is a bit jarring maybe, but otherwise good!

Thanks for your feedback!

Making the crouch feel good is a pain, I tell you xD
In earlier builds it was wayyy too fast and we could just play through the game without uncrouching lol
Because of that we made it slower to discourage people from crouching all the time. But maybe we overdid it a bit :(

A lot of very cool unique mechanics here. Love the idea of cave diving horror. Was a little confused on how to turn around on the vertical climbing section and there were a few bugs with the monster scare event endlessly playing. Overall great job!

Thanks for your feedback!

Sad to hear that there was a bug with the jumpscare animation :(
I hope it didn't impact your experience too much!

Great game! It was a lot of fun to implement the mechanics ^^
