Ratings and reviews

I've been really enjoying it, the idea is great, and the music as well I find a lovely addition in the beginning section. However, I sadly too am stuck on the same glitch with the pitcher and can't go beyond it. I really would like to be able to finish this game, I hope this glitch gets fixed for us who have spent time and enjoyed it but can't get past it. Edit: They did go back and fix this so I could finish, and so I am very chuffed with it.

Bugs. Doesn't work well. Cannot get past breaking the pitch seal due to not being able to move the amphora. Saw on some game play it is possible to move it, but I just can't. There are a number of other instances where it doesn't recognise your actions. Also can't skip scenes or make them go faster. So you are stuck with the dialogue. If you exit out before completing the entire dialogue, you have to sit through it again and again. So I have seen the same scene over and over again.

I'm really satisfied with the game. The idea/concept and the graphics is one of the best features it has. The music is relaxing and is pleasant to the ears. I suggest adding an option for adjusting game volume, graphic settings if possible, and also sensitivity for controls. I don't mind it but the speed of the camera when turning is a bit slow. Also if possible, adding some plants/creatures to the surrounding area, it feels quite empty. Sunrays as well when looking from under the water.
