There are many secrets hidden in the depths of the ocean, but one of them is especially mysterious. The protagonist, hopeless by the disappearance of his father, who claimed that intelligent creatures lived at the bottom of the sea, dives into the abyss in search of answers. During the hero's journey, unexpected discoveries and encounters with the unknown await. On the brink of life and death, he faces a choice that can change his life forever. This is a story about the desperation for truth, overcoming fear and the connection between man and nature.

Don't forget to change the language in settings to English.

We are a startup indie team consisting of Portal College students, this is our first project for
Ludum Dare. Don't judge strictly :)

Love the vibe!! Story is nice and short (perhaps needing a few more twist would be more fun but this is good already). The illustrations are insanely good. (i got an error report on the left top corner while playing - seems like a file is missing). Awesome work!!

I love the game's visual feel—it's a beautiful style. It tells an interesting story, but it would be good if the game was more interactive and animated. It reminds me of text adventure books from the past.

Loved everything about the game! the art and sounds were amazing and the story was very fun!! I only saw a couple of errors, mainly one asking for a file that didn't exist. Other than that it is a solid game!

I loved the art and the story. One problem is that the theme is a bit off. But very nice!

First of all, the art and music are masterpieces! They really drew me into the story.
That factor plus the great short story with some decisions made me fall in love with the game!

It was such a mystical and beautiful experience. I don't know if I got the correct ending but I'm happy with the one I got. Great job!

Really nice story !
As other mentionned, I think it was a little bit off theme, at some point I though that the character would actually become the Tiny Pets of *spoiler*, as it would be a nice way to reverse the Tiny Pets dynamics of having a human considered tiny (not sure if I'm clear sorry) 😅
Nice work nonetheless !
