Played it for a bit, but the game crashed on me twice so that's nice. Possibly because I got impatient and spammed the interact button in hopes that things will happen faster, so probably my fault. I wouldn't worry about it too much because anything I touch has a tendency to break somehow. Some notes on what I did see in the tutorial and the main game (btw i haven't played VOTV or among us for that matter):
- The black text for printed player input in the terminal is barely readable.
- could add up arrow to autofill with last command in terminal
- I wish the options menu was selectable using WASD because my mouse scrolls too fast
- It was kind of annoying to move my hand off my mouse just to hit enter
- controlling the jet ski gets really weird once it turns around too much, but maybe that's intentional
- it would be nice to be able to grab things before getting on the ladder instead of dropping items on the floor, getting on the ladder, and hoping you don't fall off the ladder before you grab the item
-I lost my jet ski after getting off of it, watching it flip over, having the terrible idea to get back on it, getting a good look at the inside of it, and then getting off and having no idea where i was. Granted, the average player probably wouldn't make such choices, but it would be nice to have a recall button or be able to ping it for some hope?
I was hoping to see more fish but it's still pretty cool. Good luck with development.

Thank you for playing it!
There is deffo stuff that needs to be improved, like in the next version there will be an inventory system and a fix to the time moving faster than it should if you reenter the main levels, and the jetski stuff will be ironed out. I spent to much time implementing systems and only had a day and a half to actually debug stuff lol.
Nice simulator. The atmosphere and the idea are very interesting.
I would be cool if there was any kind of sea creature that would be a threat, because right now the only way to die is to run out of health. And it is reducing to fast for comfort. It was kinda hard enough to keep myself afloat while i was only on my base farming reports, but then the servers started to break. At that point i just accepted my fate and exploded.
Also the lack of music and usage of Half-life sounds gives this game Source's omnious vibe. I don't know if it's good or not though.
A bug i found only after the voting period started is that if you exit and go back into games the system that i made to do time dosent reset so the speed that it increases was bugged, its your only supposed to loose hunger/stamana every 15 seconds. That is fixed in a post jam update that will be out soon for the non jam version of the game.
Fun game! Also the tutorial said I would explode, and it didn't lie so that makes it an even better game!
