This is the type of game I love. Not too long, yet satisfyingly complete. I loved it. 5/5. It doesn't need graphics when it has a message.

What mostly everyone said. Simple, good, surprising, mysterious. And annoying, but in the right dosage XD That blackening effect can get in your nerves sometimes!

There really needs to be an artistic section for games like this. Sure, these games may not be particularly appealing for those who want their games with more action, but for those seeking the deeper meaning of games, especially the ones that leave unanswered questions in the end, an organized archive would be useful. Maybe I just like a change from all the front page TD's and RPG's, but I love these games.

I just love how clear the rules are in this game and how playable it is overall. I love that the rules are pretty much taught by the game's environment and narrative premise, which helps us experience the story.
To play, we need to know that:
A) swimming for 10 seconds will kill us
B) entering a dark area will turn off and reset the timer
C) pieces of paper are checkpoints
and D) the moving creatures aren't enemies
And this is how I think we've been taught:
A) the first thing we do is transition from water to land and see the countdown. Moving in water feels different and now there's this timer...
B) the dark areas resemble air pockets in underwater caves.
C) we can fail fast and when we die, we appear next to a note
and D) the creatures have a similar colour palate to the player character
To me the way this game teaches it's rules is part of the game's magic because the quicker we learn, the sooner we can get into the story.

The way the notes were going, that it was taking years for the two to find each other, I thought that the friend was gonna be dead by the time you found him...

The cave was confusing but in the end, it was worth it cause now I know what the game's name mean. Wait, how can an octopus/squid read and write?

Awesome! I like the tone, the colors, and most other stuff about it. The music fits it perfectly, and it's actually the only good minimalist game I've ever seen. It's certainly challenging!
5/5
