Day one. We are playing random games. This is a new Steam mechanic — for the first two days of the festival you can play random games, after which the selection becomes personalized and Steam starts suggesting games similar to the ones you play. It is meant to help sell us more games and wishlists.
A game about rowing a boat. There is a co-op mode.
Genre — friendslop.
You control a character, can grab an oar and row. You can pump up the boat. Through rowing you can steer the boat. You can also rescue your friends. A super scary monster is chasing you — a FISH, yes… just a fish, but it’s scary nonetheless.
The game wants to come across as fun, but it doesn’t quite feel that way (a very subjective opinion).
The game has cool sound design — cheerful music at the very start, anxious ambient when the fish shows up.
Right now the game doesn’t look striking, it doesn’t grab attention — the art looks prototype-ish, made from free assets (not very pretty ones). No offense, it’s a subjective opinion )
Overall you can feel the design in the game, and some aspects are done well.
