Your game has an immersive atmosphere. It's well executed. The shaders (or whatever ways you used to implement illumination) fit well. It's nice that you had the time to write different types of AIs (that one that makes the screen go red then goes away is pretty scary). However, collision with scenario is pretty annoying and difficult, and resets the game, impeding progress.
Very nice game. I love that photo mechanic. The visuals and the sounds build an atmosphere which is fitting very well together. Good work and thank you for this beautiful entry.

Nice graphic and audio that produce a great mood! (but difficult...)
Exploring the perilous cave and photographing luminous creatures to the haunting melody and mechanical pulses enchanted me. If you continue to develop this, I was surprised that the vessel was colliding and restarting, almost without warning.
Great idea and even better execution! It has a wonderful atmosphere with the sub going down towards an unknown with not much light surrounding it while a great music is playing. I also like the idea that you do a research using a camera. It's a unique and deep experience. It's sure a keeper (keeping the desktop version)!
Interesting concept and well presented on all fronts. I think checkpoints of some kind might help to keep the motivation to explore up, it got too time consuming after a while :)
