The voice acting was very refreshing to hear and I got a good laugh out of the bigass sliding rat. The story was fun and easy to follow. The only thing I will mention though is the walking is so painfully slow like as if my buttcheeks were wrapped underneath my feet. Just kidding it's not that bad, but it is kind of slow. I enjoyed this game a lot :)

A game with sewers, rats, and fantastic voice acting? Sign me up lol.
Nice little linear experience, some ambience or music could've been a nice addition for something like this.
I wonder if Davo is gonna be mad at your disappearance? Actually no I bet he's part of the cult!

The game came out pretty funny haha! When I first met a rat I thought I would have to run from it in the caves, but it didn't happen, but I managed to be scared, the locations were cool! And in general the game is quite minimalistic looking and most importantly - completely designed, great job!

Also, my team and I were a little embarrassed by the sounds of the water🤣

Amazing visuals and sound design. I enjoyed playing it but there was this one little issue, while looking around the camera would just snap a couple pixels forward in the direction I was trying to look, made me go the wrong way multiple times. Other than that, fun experience. Great job!

DEPTH GANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG lol this game is awesome. The giant rat properly jumpscared me.... the way he emerged from the shadows was horrifying. Something about this game just feels right, the whimsy is spot on and the ending is hilarious. I am a depth ganger for life now.... depth gang and yellow spray paint.

Great work, and thanks for your wonderful stream yesterday!

At one point I turned left and it seemed like there was a giant invisible wall, and walking up it sent me to the ceiling at which point I could walk over it. I still seem to have made it to the cult room though. The mood was good, now I'm just wondering if I skipped things.

Wow there are a lot of well done elements in this game, it seems like if you had more time, it could be built out into a full release!

The attention to detail with the bobbing of your phone in your hand, the reverb on the sound, the different footsteps in water vs stone. You even had splash sounds for when you jump in water.

The giant rat was hilarious and I'm not sure if it ate me at one point, but kicked me back to the main menu.

I went to spank the big mouse and that got me killed noooo. Liked the sewer setting and graphics and audio were decent too. Couldn't bother to start over but I hope I didn't miss too much.

This was really nice to see, you don't really expect decent voice acting in game jams, but when you do find them, it sure feels good.

An interesting experience. I do wish there was a "game" or challenge more than just walking and shoveling boulders. I thought the giant rat would kill me, but it didn't.

I liked the voice acting and the silly dialogue to set the mood of the game.

Walking around definitely had me waiting for a jump scare or something, and the giant rat did give me the creeps at first. I think some environmental puzzles would fit well in there, with all of the writing on walls.

What are the people doing down there? And where did I go when I entered the light? xD - Somehow I was a bit scared for the whole time. Especially when I saw the big rat :O Movement was too slow I think. Audio and graphics fit in well.

Fun little sewer crawl, I dig (pun not intended) the general feeling of space and being down in some smelly sewers. The rats were even more spooky than the cultists, dunno what they were about, at least the cultists were clearly simply summoning something (perhaps me?). The occasional calls in the lit up spots were a nice touch.
