Pretty interesting! The vibes are like the one horror-y episode in a sci-fi tv series each season.^^ The logs Chimel writes at the beginning and ending are and look cool, nice addition (however, the gamma ending one still says a member of team died). The characters are quite good, the prose is nice, I’m not sure why there is blue text sometimes. It looks like Chimel’s direct thoughts but it doesn’t seem very necessary.

The sprites are nice and expressive, the backgrounds work very well to establish the vibe and I like the UI (except the font used for names that makes Muir’s name looks like “Kuir”). The audio part does a great job as well.

There are several times where we have to click to continue but it’s not obvious at all, a bit annoying. The Heads/Tail choice looks a bit weird but it’s fine.^^

Overall, an engaging story and nice characters. We don’t know enough about the mystery to really be interested in it, but that’s fine for the story told here, I think. Good job!

Gotta admit...

Why bother with the text if shirtless doberman is there to stare at?

(Joke comment)

Super atmospheric! I loved how realistic the reports and the general manner of the crew were. Amazing UI. The plot was also quite engaging and gruesome, though I think it could've used more setup. But under the scope of a jam, this was very well done!

a pretty intense spooky short story! Weird growing ice while stuck underwater, sounds like a no-escape Game premise

Nice game i love it !
