How does your game fit the theme?
As surviving captain of a ship wrecked by a monster you spawn in the game and shoot a flair in the sky to get help from another boat. Then you play to find resources to build a weapon and kill the monster that follows you. If you win, you kill the monster and sail off with some nice fresh monster sushi. If you get damage tho you get infected and slowly turn non human. At one point, you turn into one of the monsters and sink the next ship with the next surviving character, that later tries the same as the captain before.

The game's atmosphere terrified me,but I loved it. Amazing experience. The monster transformation story setting is also really cool!
The game is really brilliant! Omg the atmosphere... I didn't get the theme of loop in the first run. Maybe I was lucky, found all the elements and only met one monster. But the second time I played it, I tried to get myself caught, and then I immediately understood what the loop was. Great game!
Very impressive artwork! It was a bit confusing on what to do, I didn't realize there were symbols that showed me where to go. I think the gameplay could be a bit better or more engaging somehow, but it is a very cool experience!
Lovely art and audio! I do wish turning into a monster had some change on the gameplay though
Thank you for the nice comment and the suggestion. We haven't had enough time to implement this but it's a good idea for future updates. Appreciated ^^
The atmosphere is soo good.
Thank you^^ We're glad you like it
Great experience loved the art design and atmosphere. I get the don't starve vibes from it. Really great work!
Thank you a lot for the nice words :) We're happy you like the game
Very very good art. Super cool atmosphere. Loved the crabification.
Amazing atmosphere and visuals, it must have taken a lot of time to draw the different levels of transformation in all the different angles + animations, really impressive. The creaky noises on the cutscenes and the water splashing was perfect. How the "suspense" music queue kept cutting in and out did take me out of it a bit, but other than that the audio was 10/10.
Thanks a lot for the amazing feedback! The suspense music thing was sadly because we didn’t have enough time to implement it properly, but it will be fixed after the jam :D
Really nice athmosphere and art. I sadly made the mistake of sailing to the edge of the map where there were no resources but lots of monsters following me. Still managed to build the weapon though
Thank you very much. I know your predicament, I made the same mistake too here and then while playing our game. I'm happy you still had fun :)
Presentation is brilliant. I enjoyed outrunning the monsters like a stallion in a bushfire
Really enjoyed the visual tone, it fits the atmosphere perfectly. The navigation system was intuitive, and I liked the subtle creepiness of the world. I agree that adding a stamina or panic mechanic could give it a cool survival twist. Would love to see a full version of this!
Thank you very much, my fellow steed.
I love this art style and the story idea will u make a full game with story later?
Thanks for the feedback. Maybe if I can get my team locked in the basement again.
~ Love, horse 🐴❤️
I like being locked in the basement
The artstyle is so nice, the desaturated tone matches the scary vibe really well. I liked the navigation system for the resources too.
The gameplay could have more depth tho, like having some stamina you can use in order to run away from the monsters.
Thank you so much for checking out the game and the feedback
I love you
