Wow! What an interesting experience. I like the creepy reality-bending apparitions, makes you really feel like you're going insane suck in that ship. And the repetitive tasks drive the point home, without being too boring. Really nicely done! I did find some bugs: The game deleted my inventory when I went back to the main menu then resumed. It also broke when I restarted the game.
The text tends to run a tad too quickly on clicks, as you don’t know when someone will speak. A text bubble helps a lot to anticipate that. Did not anticipate the guy tied to the mast to scream either, but at least he gave me the tinderbox? Surprisingly detailed, you should be proud of yourself for managing to put this together within the duration of the jam. Don’t think I didn’t notice the multitude of Kevins on your credits page. Nice touch! Thanks for making this!
Great vibe. Truly filled me with a sense of foreboding. Your character design was great like last time. If I had to give suggestions, I'd say some more sound design could make the game feel more responsive. Like the sound of a mirror being cleaned when the mirrors being cleaned. Also, it wasn't clear that I was also supposed to drink the juice, but that could just be a me thing, I don't usually play games like this. Great entry, congrats.
Absolutely loved it, thought the atmosphere and the story was truly wonderful!
