In the Darkness of the Sea

A tiny free game/interactive experience, asking you to spend fifteen minutes of your life being a surprisingly expressive black blob on a lifeboat, lost In the Darkness of the Sea. For such a short thing, this is an interesting exploration on a theme. It starts off by suggesting a sense of serenity, carried over by a soothing musical theme and even more by a highly emotive visual aesthetic. Then it cleverly lets you scramble at the start of every scene, by not explaining the few basic mechanics you need to move forwards, and thus evoking a sense of helplessness and confusion. The smart animation details and sound design bring everything together and allow the monochromatic art to take you on a memorable little journey that I can easily recommend.

Nice themed game. A bit small, but it's free! Nice way to end a gaming night.

Great first game! Can't wait to see what you have in store next!

While this game (more like interactive experience) is very, very short; it's a striking almost piece of art with really beautiful music to go along with it. There is indeed a little lag during one scene of the game, but it wasn't enough to be frustrating or really take away a lot of that moment. This is really not for the faint of heart, as it's more just observing someone's art come to life, but it's a really striking game for what it is.

Its a fun game a little bit too short but can't complai it's Free. Great atmosphere Love the visual reminds me of Limbo The music is good for me There's no tutorial but you don't need any its more simple than playing Mario bros Keep going with the work i'd love to see more.

First Impressions Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usc8ZcizL98&feature=youtu.be In The Darkness of the Sea is a fun little story adventure game where you paddle your way through a storm on a little rowboat. You need to avoid a persistant whale and some flying fish along the way. The game is a bit short, but for a free game and first release from Olivier LeClair, it was quite enjoyable. I did not encounter any bugs or glitches. The game can be finished in about 10 minutes, and only takes up about 100mb of space. If you have some time to kill, try it out!

It was an interesting game... Lasted a whole 10 minutes... Think I can say succesfully Spedrun this.... Huh... I mean its not bad. But its not good as well. Atleast I didnt waste money.

Previously, I reviewed this game negatively because it was kind of broken. The developer has since updated the game so that the controls are clearer, and the bug that caused endless deaths has also been resolved. Those issues having been resolved, I still would not advise this game as something you pay for. However, as a free experience, it does a good job of conveying melancholy and is worth the few minutes of your life it would take to play through. I wish the fish and whales at the beginning were a little less finicky, and a little less "gamey", but it is worth your time.

Short, but really atmospheric... i liked it. (it's free)

Darkness of the Sea, really short atmospheric game. I liked it but its definitely not for every one.
