Hello, I'm unsure if I'm doing something wrong, but after I click to start the game in the menu, I get a black screen with background SFX playing. I thought maybe this was part of the game to build anticipation but then 5 minutes passed and it was still the same black screen with the noise of water, boats creaking, a door etc. I clicked all sorts of buttons but nothing changed. I'm wondering if there is something I'm meant to do or if this is a glitch? Thank you.

The same happened for me on Firefox, but it works on Chromium.

Hey, I'm on Firefox too! I'm struggling to play most games in-browser. Apparently it is a long-standing issue that itch.io browser games do not work with firefox. I made a thread here in the Questions forum: https://itch.io/t/3084013/in-browser-games-dont-work-on-firefox

Much more intense and symbolic than I expected, congrats for showing it in just 1000 words! Special mention for the sounds: the bubbles' noise is very nice, but the boat's one is truly immersive

Good job, everyone!

Thank you so much for the gameplay video, I am glad you enjoyed our game, and thanks for the feedback too :D

I like both the feelings of the sailor and the mermaid here. (although maybe the latter only have like, instinct?) The art is cute, even the background, like the cool tone of it. Great job!

i really loved this

SPOILER AHEAD

and should have known better than to trust a mermaid ;-;
great job!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^
