i really enjoyed playing this! the story had a wholesome and bittersweet ending, i loved the artstyle and atmosphere of the game!! i also recommended to a friend who enjoyed it as well.
my only somewhat critisism is I got confused on where to go to certain areas and when, same with how to enter the sea. but i found my way eventually :)
I'm guessing there's a lot of symbolism going on here, but I haven't been able to piece it together. Why does she not like dry land, the loneliness up there compared to the ones she met underwater? What were the dark figures in the trench, anxiety? Why do the first two underwater screens infinitely loop horizontally, implied drawing in?
Besides those bits of confusion, the dialog is cute and often funny, plus had a great atmosphere to set the tone for any given scene. It also looks quite nice throughout as every area's graphics and layout feels fitting.
Whats the items for man!? Am so stuck on that please someone!
Edit: I found out yall, first get all 32 shells and give it to orange hair girl, the one that loves sea shells talk to her multiple times!
Second give the hat thingy to the elder sister in her own house
Why is this game SO CUTE? Seriously, I almost got emotional at the end 🥺
me too!!

<333
this game is super wholesome and cute!! i wish i could play it forever :,)))
it was really cute like all of namis games!! i just wish there was more character building, and elaborate on why maia doesnt like it above water. but pretty good for a short game!! loved it!!
this was one of my first games here very cool
Oh wow the game even has an Italian translation..downloaded

How wholesome. This was exactly what I needed to warm my heart. Thank You!
bruh very short
Many of Nami's Games are on the shorter side, especially the earlier ones.
Un juego rápido, sencillo y bonito, 10/10, los personajes son un amor :]
Played this game on stream. Was really cute and fun, I liked the crab most of all. He's just walking there.

Elaborate on the horror elements: like jumpscares?
there is a dark and oppressive atmosphere for one section of the game. no jumpscares, it's just a little foreboding.
cool fish
really liked this game! Just hoped there was another ending to it, and why does Maia not want to go to her home world? Is she an orphan?
Well... It's a cute game with cute characters. But i wish it had a reason why Maia is so lonely. And more character development. It just felt really shallow the way that everybody just turned out as friends. And the trench could be a lot more deep.
At first Am is upset because I didn't visit her house. I went after her but can't so I returned to surface and it ended sour. But turned out I was an idiot. Good thing I didn't give up and replay the whole thing XD
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHY DOES IT HAS AN END?! I love it, and feel comfy with it, why it has to end, T.T I wish could be long and open world, and also... what was the bottom at the end, those dark creatures thought of her about what other people on earth told her?
gostei de maaaais, muito bonitinhoo❤
fiz um vídeo jogando ele,
what's RTP? Why it's so huge?
runtime player!
basically its the default graphics, mewsic, and .dll files that come with rpgmaker! most (if not, all) rpgmaker games need it to run xP
what about the Steam games which were made with RPG maker?
each of those need the RPG maker in the first place or not?
真不错
Muy tierno
Learning how to breathe underwater by passionatly making out with a sea creature
amazing but more gameplay would be great
hopefully you guys can make a mac version in the future, this game looks fun!

Finally got around to playing it, and... this doll wants to know more about Maia. There's some things that can be pretty easily inferred about her situation and mental health, but... some things still felt a little cryptic.
Very wholesome and precious game.
I dug the art, color, music and controls! =]
Also love any kinda game I can collect stuff.
naww RPG maker????
