NEMO SHOW by Tikotey

[raw]
made by Tikotey for Ludum Dare 59 (JAM)

What would happen to a person if they were left to fish in the middle of the ocean?

What kind of life would they lead on their way to land?

The player is a participant in an experiment, placed in a simulation of Point Nemo - the point on our planet farthest from land.

They must survive and reach land with nothing but a fishing rod and an old ship.

We'll find ourselves in a boat, with nothing but a gum vending machine and The Whale for company.

The Whale is a signal. It warns of its approach shortly before it appears: through a growing hum. Do not perceive its arrival as a threat. It is a message for you.

The fishing rod is not simple and will give you a signal when something gets caught on the hook.

Every time he appears, he is trying to get your attention and take a look around. To finally understand that everything happening is not a coincidence, but an experiment in which you are merely the subject of study.

The game has three endings. Which one did you get on your first run?

Overall the game is nice but i am deeply dissapointed by the fact that the Whale 67 is not actuaaly 67!But the choice of getting Ball vending machine having all these lines coming up with all free funny sounds was really good.

The game page could be easier to read and I did not manage to sell fishes.
But this a very elaborate 3D games.
