You play as the lovable mythical creature, Nessie, trying to secretly make your way out of the lake, and through the environment.

Use your prehistoric agility, hiding skills, and special disguises to avoid being seen on your journey.

HINT: When in trouble seek green cover.

The concept is hillarious. The artwork is fantastically cute and well-made. I love the humor of this game. This is a seriously great achievement in a weekend, great job!

Five stars for the graphics for sure! Wasn't so sure how this related to the theme though.

Super cute! I immediately experimented to see what the disguise did and lost it, which was kinda sucky since it's a long time before you get a second one. I wish the humans had some kind of tell for when they are about to turn, like maybe a pause or an animation, or a sound, or whatever, since the punishment for getting caught is so severe it might help encourage people to get at it if they feel more in control and more like getting caught was their own fault instead of just getting unlucky. Overall very cute, well done!

Nessie is real! I knew that! When I lose, that creature looks so sad that I feel bad.

Very fun little game. I like the disguises and the ending in particular. Hoping to see a finished game with more levels in the future!

What, you mean the nose and mustache routine doesn't work in Scotland no more? :D Cute game! Perfectly done stealth mechanic with a really cute and unique theme.

Cute, funny and clever! I don't know what manner of mind takes "Connected Worlds" and comes up with sending Nessie on a stroll through Scotland in search of a UFO, but I'm not complaining. One of the funnier entries I've seen, good job.

Hey, did the web version stop working? I couldn't get it to run in Firefox or Chrome (seems to be complaining about some 404s)

@mrspeaker It should still be running normally. We have seen some machines have a hard time with the web version due to the stress of WebGL and an inefficient shader on our part. The experience is definitely much better with the desktop versions.

Challenging and great graphics although it seemed a little dark. I couldn't get past the 3 lights near the lake but I kept trying. Good job.
