Absolutely adore the writing style - sets a lovely mood. Perfect ambience and ocean sounds too - though I wish the ambience continued playing over the introductory text for extra mood.
I was a bit stumped at first as to how to play the game. I found a boat and found a port lit up in green - so I led the boat over to green! But they wouldn't dock. After a bit found another port in red - for some reason the boat only wanted the red port. Not sure what the green port was for?
The upgrades didn't seem to work either. I took the "press Q" to highlight boats but nothing seemed to happen when I pressed Q. I assume this is what the instructions meant using hints cos not sure what the hints are meant to be otherwise. Speaking of - the instructions list of a bunch of sea references and not sure what we're meant to do with that info.
All in all the mood is great, but I wish there'd been a bit of an in game tutorial/some text just saying "use WASD to move the light and take boats to any red ports you find." Stuff like that. Anyhow just wanted to give some feedback on play experience but nonetheless this an excellent bit of work for a weekend.
