Very cool tech demo despite my atrocious abilities at piloting the ship XD. I only wish I could've ran the game with higher settings, because it looks awesome, and seeing the environment shift as you explore it was wild. I unfortunately did not escape, my bad piloting skills made getting away from the creature very difficult. Can't wait to see where this demo leads, definitely will be keeping an eye out for future updates.
However, as the mechanics currently stand, it's hard to enjoy the visuals while trying to play the game. Having the light on is basically a death sentence, and without it all you see are dark undulating shapes. I'd recommend changing up how the monster works, maybe significantly reducing its sight radius. It also often tracks you whether you have the light on or not.
Finally, are you expected to actually get out at the end? I kept going for a while after refueling all stations and eventually just got bored.

Well, the game design is totally broken in this tech demo, I couldn't complete the last station because the so called creature was camping it all the time and it was tracking me despite my light was turned off, it was just patrolling with much faster speed than my ship could go. And after I was finally able to power the station, I was greeted with a text telling me to find the exit, completely hiding the view as the game was continuing in the background and the creature detector was signaling that it's close to me. After the screen was gone I wasn't able to control anything because the creature was already damaging my ship and this was my last life. So I was killed by a cutscene, that's just bad.
The contributing to SDF and raymarching graphics is great anyway, but the developer should consider to pay more attention to the game design if he wishes to include such punishing mechanics in tech demos.
Awesome! <3 <3 This was so cool I couldn't find the exit in the end (⇀‸↼‶) but it was so fun! It's oddly hypnotic, and weirdly comforting. There's something cushiony and womb-like about it. Ever seen the crochet art installations of Toshiko Horiuchi-MacAdam? Haha
Very cool, though I was a bit disappointed there is no collision with the fractal geometry, would make navigating the world more interesting by having to deal with random changes to the layout. It would also require tighter ship controls.

This game has rekindled my love for gaming. reminding me of why I fell in love with it in the first place.
I appreciate the accessibility options in this game. allowing players of all abilities to enjoy the experience.
Un Entorno Fractal Oscuro y Místico
Great as a visual tech demo.

I almost made it... I refueled all 4 stations but that goddamn monkey squid grabbed med JUST when I was done.
Good game btw;)
Unfortunately there are no English subtitles for my video, but you can just enjoy these scared screams :)

Keep getting tracked down by the creature even when I navigate solely by radar. Practically impossible. Fun concept otherwise.
Picking up the torch left by YEDOMA GLOBULA?
They sure feel similar. Though YG looked better, it didn't have much gameplay yet and then development was disrupted by the war in Ukrain...
Curious to see whether this works with UEVR, VR was never an option for YG's custom engine.

will this have a multiplayer? i would love to sail with buddies the the fractal seas getting scared shitless
It's a horror game.
Why does everything need to be multiplayer?
"Environmental Horror"
The environment would be ruined if it sounded like a COD lobby, lol.
I feel like you're missing a lot of nuance if the only states you have experienced are "single player" and "COD lobby" with nothing inbetween

The game is strangely beautiful and has an interesting atmosphere. It looks very promising.
