What an unsettling experience... I really loved the style of this game along with the cryptic backstory. Can't say I've ever played anything like this, and I loved it! Great work!
What an experience! The universe you're able to create in under 20 minutes of game play is incredible. I loved the atmosphere and the look of this game. I played this for my Bloodcurdling Barrage, in which I do daily videos for all of October.
I don't even fully comprehend what happened to me in this game but I loved it. You make such creepy and unsettling atmosphere in your games and it makes them stand out against all the other jumpscare bs out there.
Hell yea man, this is the kind of game that makes sifting through itch worth it. The style, the audio, everything in this game felt like it needed to be here. Excited for what you do next.
Wow, this was definitely an intriguing experience. I haven't played a game this creepy in long while. I liked how this game built up the atmosphere of the story until the very end. This was a very enjoyable horror game, keep up the great work! I made a gameplay video for this game if anyone is interested in watching. Thank you for your time and have a nice day! :)
This is so far one of the best indie horrors I've ever played! Absolutely loved it! Keep 'em coming! (Note: the title of the video is a joke, so don't worry haha)
Its interesting how all of the games that I have seen from Yames delve into some obscure philosophy, Discover My Body delving into the Deleuzian concept of the body without organs and now Water Womb World diving into (no pun intended) Western Esoteric works.
I'm not usually a fan of games in general, but I seemed to have stumbled upon yours by, lets call it, an anomaly. What made me enjoy your (Yames) games in particular is the "virtualization" and "visualization" of particular philosophical concepts mixed with some lovecraftian influences.
Hats off to you Yames, you've done an exceptional job at presenting these concepts to the masses, whether done intentionally or by complete chance.
This game is GREAT. loved the graphics and story. very compelling and I have to say I can't wait to see what else ya got up your sleeve. Keep at it my friend.
Loved this experience. For some reason I had a hard time on the second collection mission and it took me way too long to catch one of the live specimens- I'm sure that's just me sucking though, haha. Underwater sci-fi horror is such an under-explored genre in my opinion (no pun intended). SOMA is one of my all-time favorite games and Water Womb World definitely reminded me of it, especially at the end (which revealed their similar themes). The mirror was a nice touch of foreshadowing that gave me a sense of dread from the get-go.
Thank you for making this game (and releasing it for free)!
This is the first game of yours that I've played and I'm happy to see there's several on itch.io for me to play next- I'm sure I'll go through them quickly so I'm also anticipating your next release.
P.S. This is so off-topic but I have to rant a bit about SOMA being tragically underrated/underplayed, especially compared to Amnesia. With SOMA, Frictional Games improved on every aspect of their game design, writing, art style...yet because it's not straight up horror in a castle or whatever a lot of people (including Amnesia fans) just passed it up and it's such a shame. I don't get those folks lack of enthusiasm because to me, the depths of the ocean is one of the most alien, mysterious, isolating, and all-around existentially scary environments imaginable. My point is that you, WWW dev, obviously "get it" because you really did the deep-sea setting justice in this neat, creepy little game! :)
I play Windows games on my ol' Macbook using Bootcamp :)
It's a process to set up but it makes it so you have both operating systems and can switch between them whenever (by restarting your computer and selecting which one to boot into). It's worth it though if you can figure out how to do it or get someone more computer-savvy to help you. Now I have the best of both worlds on my Mac: I can install & play Windows-only games on my Windows partition, and install & use Mac-only programs on my OS X partition.
(The virtual machine idea that Matute295 suggested is also a fine option, but games will run better if you actually have Windows running on your computer via Bootcamp)
thank you so much for the reply! i think i have a copy of windows xp somewhere around here so maybe one day i'll figure it out. ive been able to run most windows things so far by chucking them at wine but the files for this game confuse me :'D
Yeah can you even install a legit version of windows onto a mac? Sorry if that's a stupid question lol I seriously am not sure. But also, I had issues with Wine trying to play Diablo 2 so that's why I originally just did the hard drive partition with the separate OSs. It works much better because each one just works as normal.
holy SHIT this game is so good dude. anyone a fan of scifi horror, this is a must-=play for you. in true yames fashion, this one is an intelluctual mystery masterpiece, with some really deep philosophy about religion and the origin of human life. be prepared for a fucking awesome but short ride!

Great game to be honest!! keep on the good work, if you publish anything else I will most likely play it!
I would really like to see this fleshed out. It was good, but so short as to feel rushed.
Good Game. An interesting experience. Congrats!
Good job being on Adam Millards video!
Hey, I saw that, really cool! thanks for swinging by and giving the game a try.

Would you happen to know what typeface is used? I love the font. Great game besides that, of course.
It looks like MS Gothic, to me.
yeah, not sure you didn't already get the answer in the discord, but just in case, it is MS Gothic
Cool concept
Hell yea man, this is the kind of game that makes sifting through itch worth it. The style, the audio, everything in this game felt like it needed to be here. Excited for what you do next.
Loved it, still waiting for Lips for Velum though.
The game start at 15:17
Love the concept! Great atmosphere and visuals for what it is! I became much closer to GOD
I loved everything, the concept, the visuals, the gameplay and the sound. Thank you for bringing this to life, this is extremely inspiring.

I absolutely loved this. The atmospher was incredible in a way thats hard to describe. Very goog game.

I had a lot of fun playing this game. It was very atmospheric, horrific, and it definitely pulled me in.
Pretty good game, you got a real style.
Very nice imagination...
This game is GREAT. loved the graphics and story. very compelling and I have to say I can't wait to see what else ya got up your sleeve. Keep at it my friend.

Hello! Is there any way to run this game on a mac? If not that's fine but I'd love to try it! Hope this isn't too much of a bother to ask. Thank you!
Not the dev but you could try with a windows virtual machine https://www.howtogeek.com/191615/how-to-play-windows-pc-games-on-a-mac/
ah thank you!!! this is something I've been meaning to look into for ages :')

Interesting but weird, 'Gods' in a story always make for strange things these days
Oh hi, Neco!
Ror
Excellent atmosphere. Love the style!
Very good game.
So atmospheric! I had so much fun playing it, thank you! I loved the glitchy oldschool aesthethic. So coooool!
Well done on yet another bone chilling game. Damn it was scary!
Towards and including the end reminds me of Evangelion. Is that something you've drawn from?
Oh I like this
