i have found a pretty big bug. when you talk with the thing at the tample at the start after starting to kill the fish (i only killed one and went to talk to it out of curiousity) the player cannot move anymore or control the character
Cool game!! I liked the gameplay, the game doesn't scare me but I really like the concept of playing in the ocean but anyway that thing was pretty weird lol good job
I tried to overcome my thalassophobia by going for a dive in some decently shallow water while in the Caribbean. While on my dive I found something... or... it found me... It needed me and I needed it... This is what I experienced:
Interesting lovecraftian game where you do the bidding of a creature deep in the ocean, definitely interesting to do tasks for an unknown being as you are being mind controlled. Thank you for making this! 3rd game.
Very cool! I loved getting to be the hunter instead of the hunted! Honestly, I would have loved an additional round of fish to hunt before committing the ultimate sin. Maybe a round of sharks or something aggressive and dangerous to hunt? That way the ending would feel even more bleak after all our hard work. Either way, really fun and eerie!
This was a good game! I do have one request though, for the beginning part I would consider making it easier to see the fish. If you could do that, then it would be amazing. For now I give it a 4.3/5 star :)
The whole time I was expecting a shark or some other man-eating thing to appear out of nowhere and gobble me up. The submechanophobia theme was done well as the ancient underwater structure unnerved me yet made me all the more curious as to its origins and history.
Hey Mate. Had a go with this latest game of yours. Loved it, Made me feel unnerved for I have a slight fear of the ocean. Looking forward to your main game.
What a very interesting game I have to say myself, I loved the atmosphere of it and just the look was captivating enough. I love me a good water horror game and you’ve created quite the piece. I liked it so much I made a whole video on it if that’s ok, in all seriousness though I really enjoyed this game and i hope you make more in the future. Good Luck!
Wasn't sure what voice to give to the Tunnel Overlord so I went with a somewhat serenading adult female voice. In hindsight, probably not the best choice. Cool game, 6.8/10.
This game was really dope, I kind of wish it was a bit longer because the concept was really cool but it was a nice short horror game! Love the PS1 style man, keep it up!
This was very cool. I especially think you did an awesome job of capturing the feel of the ocean for such a short game. I think the pace of the game worked very well with that. if it were a longer game it would be frustrating to get anything done, but it was short enough for that not to matter much.
If I would change anything it would be to add a reticle to aid in shooting but even that wasn't too much of a problem. :)
Thanks very much! If you hold the right mouse button it'll zoom in and display the crosshair which will make aiming much easier, quite a few people have missed it so my bad.
I liked your game, but it became a bit tedious. I loved the themes and the ideas, but I feel like the execution could've used some tweaking.
This is said in respect, not strictly in criticism. Again, I liked it, I just felt it got a little tedious and could've used some tweaks. I mean no disrespect. Please keep making games.
Now, had I known that going in (and that's probably on me, and no one else), I might have adjusted my expectations a little. In retrospect, then, the pace nails it. And again, I say all of this in respect, not as some dirtbag armchair critic, I genuinely love and support stuff like this, so please, keep doing what you're doing.
Really loved the game.. My aim was always a bit off but that's ok.The ambience gave a feeling of dread knowing that there is something deep within the ocean bigger than what you think. Slow paced but great build up. Expecting more games to come <3

Sometimes it's not worth listening to voices from the abyss...
Very creative game!
Thanks very much!
YOUR SOUL BELONGS TO THE DEEP.
BLUB BLUB.
Thanks for playing! I really liked your intro about how terrifying the ocean is!
i have found a pretty big bug. when you talk with the thing at the tample at the start after starting to kill the fish (i only killed one and went to talk to it out of curiousity) the player cannot move anymore or control the character
dont do that then
I'm glad to hear it! Thank you for playing :)
I made a video on your game (20:12)

So funny and creepy :)

Always been a fan of ur games seems like this is gonna be no different from ur other amazing games.
Thank you :) I hope you like it!
it holds up amazing as always. Respect for not throwing any cheap jumpscares. I could never beat any horror games but these games have a vibe.
Thanks, glad to hear it!
From the start and finished... Its making me keep looking my back since I have fear for deep ocean. The concept is interesting.
Good game my friend ^_^
Thanks very much :)
Good game.
Thank you!
Really made me think about underwater fun and the creature below.
Great game well made I would say the sprint needs to be a bit faster.
Thanks for checking it out!
Short and sweet, but well made. Congrats!
Thanks very much!
I have been waiting for this game
I hope you liked it!

Thank you, I'm glad to hear it! I thought about having one extra round but ended up just going with the 3, I probably should have though.
aw damn! oh well. i suppose wanting a game to be a little longer is better than wishing it was shorter lol
i’m excited to see what you make next!
This was a good game! I do have one request though, for the beginning part I would consider making it easier to see the fish. If you could do that, then it would be amazing. For now I give it a 4.3/5 star :)
Thanks, I don't plan on doing any more work on this game but if I do, I'll keep your request in mind.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Hey! I did a big roundup on a bunch of games in the jam (including yours) with some thoughts on each. Figured I'd share it here for anyone interested!
Hey! I just watched it from twitter a few minutes ago after the haunted ps1 retweeted it! thanks for playing my game :)
The whole time I was expecting a shark or some other man-eating thing to appear out of nowhere and gobble me up. The submechanophobia theme was done well as the ancient underwater structure unnerved me yet made me all the more curious as to its origins and history.
Gameplay begins @ 12:00Thanks for playing!
This was a nice short horror experience, I'm especially fond of ocean themed horror, and the ending was very well done!
Good job!
Thanks very much! happy to hear it :)
Small Fish, Big Fish, Dive.r... OOhhhhhh!
Was fin :), Thanks.Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks! I want to make a longer hunting game at some point, it probably won't be under water but I'll hopefully get around to it one day.
This was very cool. I especially think you did an awesome job of capturing the feel of the ocean for such a short game. I think the pace of the game worked very well with that. if it were a longer game it would be frustrating to get anything done, but it was short enough for that not to matter much.

Much easier! Thanks!
Glad to hear it, no problem :)
I liked your game, but it became a bit tedious. I loved the themes and the ideas, but I feel like the execution could've used some tweaking.
This is said in respect, not strictly in criticism. Again, I liked it, I just felt it got a little tedious and could've used some tweaks. I mean no disrespect. Please keep making games.Fair enough, it's inspired by old hunting sims which is why it's a slower paced game.
Now, had I known that going in (and that's probably on me, and no one else), I might have adjusted my expectations a little. In retrospect, then, the pace nails it. And again, I say all of this in respect, not as some dirtbag armchair critic, I genuinely love and support stuff like this, so please, keep doing what you're doing.
No problem, I do still appreciate the feedback, thanks for checking it out.
