For the most immersive experience, we recommend that you use fullscreen. You can find it in the settings menu (either from the start menu or by pressing Esc later).

Controls:
Esc to open the menu from in-game.  
Mouse for everything else.
A, S, D, F can (as an alternative to the mouse) be used to press the Tamagotchi buttons.
Space can (as an alternative to the mouse) be used to advance the dialog.
1, 2, 3 can (as an alternative to the mouse) be used to select dialog options.

Explore the deep sea, make friends and care for your very own digital squid in this fusion of a visual novel and a Tamagotchi sim. 

For all of you who always wanted to have their very own pet squid, look no further! You can feed it, play with it, put it to sleep, pet it, talk to it like a normal sane person… You can even watch it grow older than you. 

You accompany our protagonist Lucas on his journey to the deepest point of the ocean to find his missing mother. But there can be no deep sea exploration without friends. While busy befriending (two) people you are still required to keep your squid alive, lest the game ends. 

Good luck with your Abyssal Accessory, just don’t stare into the abyss for too long. 

Yours, Solid Squid Contingent.

I really liked this!!! It was so surprising. I was kind of just browsing and didn't intend to play all the way through, but next thing I know, I did haha. I got attached to the squid, too. Very unique, fun idea!

Months later, this game still keeps popping up in my head every so often... apparently I'm still not done thinking about it.
