About the Game

This is a simple first-person exploration game where your main goal is to find specific items listed in your quest log.

  • Item-Finding Exploration Gameplay: Begin your journey deep underwater and explore the dark ocean environment to locate quest items.

  • Dark Underwater Atmosphere: The game starts at night, making the surroundings quite dark and creating a mysterious, immersive mood.

  • Flashlight with Limited Battery: You have a flashlight to help you see, but its battery is limited — use it wisely!

  • Slow Movement for Careful Exploration: Movement is intentionally slow to encourage methodical searching and create a more tense experience.

  • Short but Focused Playtime: The game offers a compact gameplay experience, perfect for players who enjoy calm, atmospheric exploration.

This game is not meant to be difficult or fast-paced. It's about slowing down, observing your surroundings, and finding hidden objects in a quiet, moody environment. Will you be able to complete the quest?
