I have to say the game really surprised me, although I had to play it twice—I'm not sure if it was due to a bug (or maybe my own stupidity), but I'll comment on it here.
As a developer, you know where objects are hidden, so you think they'll be easy to find (always in the developer's mind). But when someone outside the development plays the game, it becomes much harder for them to find that object since they don't know where it could be.
This doesn't necessarily mean that I found it difficult to locate the notes at the start of the game, but here's where the "bug" (or my own idiocy, as I mentioned) comes in. After collecting almost all the notes, a new one is supposed to appear next to some rocks, but it never showed up (even though I checked the area thoroughly).
However, on my second playthrough, I found the note within seconds. So, my conclusion on that is either I was too dumb and missed it the first time, or it really had bugged out.
That small hiccup doesn't take away from the fact that the game is amazing, with a dark story and Lovecraftian horror elements (which I loved). Without any doubt, I can say this is one of your best games, Niven.
First of all, I have to say, that when you post a comment on my game, every single time, the day gets better and better, because your work and just in general you as a developer really inspire me. Thank you mate, thanks for playing the game and leaving a thoughtful review. More thanks for pointing out a problem as well, because I replayed the game and I was faced with the same issue. I will make sure to fix it!
I really liked the screamer with tentacles. And I liked fishing in the game. Very convenient, not like in reality with a fishing rod =) Interesting plot and unexpected ending. A bit reminiscent of the horror film Antropophagus 1980.
FredRichi! Friend, how are you? It's been a while. Thank you so much for such huge support, I deeply appreciate that. Glad that you liked the game, yeah. This was actually, loosely based on Stephen King's short story "Survivor Type". Can't wait to see your games as well. Cheers!
the game was very good, no wonder markiplier has played some of your games before, continue to do ur best for us, and I hope you will help us when e need some knowledge on game dev right?
That's so nice of you, thanks a lot, really. Most of my games are silly, but I make them for my own joy, and then share it with others. Yes, I am actively helping most people interested in Copper Cube and game development, so, yeah. Thanks again 🤗

Best of luck with what's to come in the future!
