RMS Sonedi by TeamAlpha

[raw]
made by TeamAlpha for LD29 (JAM)
One shipwreck. No lights. All water. You have no idea what to do, but you do know you must keep breathing.

It is there. It is coming. And it is coming for you.

(Better played in fullscreen, with headphones on and lights off)

-----

What to do: Go underwater, explore the leves, but watch your oxygen level!

Controls: WASD/arrow keys and mouse look; E to interact.

This is our first first-person game, and our first time messing around with Unity's FPS controllers. Hope you enjoy it! Please, tell us what you think about the game.

-----

Hotfix #1: fullscreen now uses the correct display resolution; cursor is now hidden.

-----

Made with:

Unity3D
Wings3D
FL Studio
Photoshop CC

trapped in a blue box and nothing happens apart from creepy noises?

I'm too claustrophobic to play this one through to the end!

Good job. :)

@xensky: did you manage to progress to the next room? If not, maybe we could add some more information at the beginning to make it clearer. If you did, though, what would you suggest? We wanted to make it an exploration game with a linear progression. You are free to swim around as long as you want, but there's a flow that must be followed to progress.

@quill18: thank you! We wanted it to feel claustrophobic, this is a sensory experience, in a way =D

I didn't find any exit to the first room, I walked around for like a minute before I gave up.

@xensky: You can dive and look around underwater. There is an exit there. =)

Very atmospheric, thanks to the great sounds. It would have been nice to have a flashlight underwater, as it was a bit too dark to see for me.

Good atmosphere. I'd suggest making space move you in the Y plane so you can surface a little easier control wise.

Even though nothing happens and I'm just in a box with water, the game does a great job at building the atmosphere.
Maybe there is a way to make something happens, but I couldn't figure it out. Good job!

Probably the best diving type game I've played in Ludum Dare so far!

This is very well made! I very much feel like I am actually underwater. Well done!

Awesome atmosphere. A little too dark. I shouldn't probably say that, because my game is dark as hell too :D

Looks like a fun game, unfortunately I found It a bit too difficult to see anything at all. Helped the atmosphere but it really made doing anything else really difficult, so I didn't really get all too far

The game is a little too dark, besides that the atmosphere is great. Very nice sound effects. I managed to find the way underwater but when I reached the door I could not open it (pressed E but nothing happened) :(
