I thought I wouldn't be able to participate this time because I had a lot of work to do this week-end. But the theme was really nice so I took some time on my Sunday to work on a LD entry.
It's an exploration game where you talk to various NPC and dive in the sea to help them. I'm happy with the result in relation to the much shorter time than usual I spent on it. I had fun writing the NPC. I had very few bugs to deal with. And I was able to implement all the story I had in mind.
My only regret is not to have been able to work on the sound part because it would have added a lot to the game. But it was to be expected! I'll probably make an extended version with some work on moody sound effects and a background music, a title menu, a restart option, sound control, a preloader and more graphics.
I hope you'll enjoy the game!
HINT: there are several oxygen pockets under the sea. Find them and use them!
HINT/SPOILER: Can't find the keys? Go to the right shore (where the character with the hat and the kids are). Enter the water from there. Go down. When you've passed the first tunnel that goes to the right, follow the wall at your right until you see an oxygen pocket. Go get the oxygen. You'll see the keys.
I like it. Talking to the characters is fun and I liked the diving mechanic. It was a little weird hearing the wind underwater though! Good job on this.
The wind sound was very moody, but a bit weird that it played while under water. The game is a bit hard. I liked that there were actually a bit of conversation with choices- Good job.
I like this swimming animation :D I didn't really understand where i have to go ... I found a place to take breath, then died trying to find another one ... I met two guys but died before I finished toread what they were saying ^^
nice simple style, dialogue choices are cool too. I think there should be a way to regain oxygen under water, i found it quite hard to swim back to the surface [but maybe that was intentional??], or I just did not get far enough to figure that out
This was great, I love the way it looks, the characters and dialogue are really nice. I just wish I could explore without the constant worries about oxygen supply, as I wasn't able to find many air pockets. It seems like a really great little world that I would like to spend time in

Nice questing system, though it might be nice to see your current quest or something.
@TomBoogaart there are water bubbles at several places under the sea.
I wasn't able to find the keys :(
I've added an hint on how to find the keys.
The graphics are beautiful and the audiodesign works well even though it's simple.
