You are Nessie, the Loch Ness monster. You've been alone all your long long life, but not lonely. It used to be easy to seek out humans for company, but now it got all sorts of hard.
How to play:
------------
Swim around the lake using arrows or WASD.
Surface by holding down space or right control.
Hover mouse over objects to see their detection range and click to see who they are.
You need to get seen, to keep you from becoming too lonely. But beware of attracting too much attention.
Extra help:
-----------
The humans may need some time to notice Nessie, especially if they aren't that interested in her from the beginning.
Some spotters simply don't give much of that cozy warm feeling of being appreciated.
Nessie really yearns for attention, she needs a whole lot of it to survive her loneliness.
Each sighting will trigger a pop-up "news" item, and at the same time lower loneliness by varying amounts.
After a human has sighted Nessie, the human needs some time putting the sighting on the right place on the Internet before that human is ready to sight Nessie again.
And when posing at the surface, she is much to busy trying to get seen but not seen too much, that swimming is not an option.

Leave comments, if only short ones. I love them all. And I will play back your game if you do.

There seems to be issues with the controls on the linux build, for reasons I don't really understand.
