Perfect color palette choice. Thought it could have used additional sound effects like scuba mask pressurizing and bubbles as the player goes deeper. I would have really loved if you could go inside things. Inside the shipwreck, the sub...maybe even the whale!...but I get that was probably a time thing.

It's designed to be a very relaxing experience, focused on audio, exploration and mood. There's no conflict or combat. The controls are very simple, and you can use either mouse or 360 pad. The download might take a short while due to the audio files.\r\n\r\nWe recommend using the 360 pad and going fullscreen for the nicest experience.\r\nAlso pleeeeease use Chrome, as some versions of Firefox are buggy with audio at the moment.\r\n\r\nAll gameplay, graphics and music was created during the weekend. We hope you enjoy it and thanks for playing.","title":"From the Sea, Freedom"}
