Amazing voice acting, fantastic job folks! 10/10
And the awesome voice acting - I love it!
It was a pity that often the text I collected didn't fit in the dialogue box.
The funniest game I played so far this LD! :smile: Well done!
I haven't played a lot of games this jam where the humor has appealed to me, but this one I found quite funny. Love the premise. The gameplay adds to the absurdity of what's going on and can yield some very unique sentences. My favorite that I got was "I reach for the depths here in darkness can I express my truth, Those normies there in the reefs wouldn't understand me like you do." because it's slam poetry and if I had just remembered to packet my sperm before talking to the damn squid she would have fallen head over high heels for my little incel protag and I could have totally gotten poor Gordo the underwater pussy he deserves. I liked this one a lot
Gameplay was the weakest part, it's fine for what is essentially a visual novel, but just a bit repetitive and easy.
Music was also nice.
