It has a deeper message, don't take it literally

@@so-did-u-know-joe-has-ligma Same thing happens, doesn’t matter

I have been searching for a whole day but can't find on shazam or musixmatch and googling the lyrics turns out nothing

Long comment warning. There are two explanations and two ways of looking at the game, both of which make sense. (The literal and the non-literal.) 1 Looking at the game in a less literal way, it can represent toxic friendship / Alcohol Addiction This theory gains more strength when we look at how at how Ryan and June are treated by their "friends." And how they behave when they Get this Sudden addiction to "food" or "water". Behaving either Aggresive or hostile toward june when she try to stop them or Question them about what they are doing. Especially McCoy who hit her And suddenly Say sorry in a brief moment Of Lucidity. (Typical behavior of addicted people. Whether to alcohol or dr_ugs) The ending just represents that by trying to help others due to that fear of ending up alone, June friends' problems end Up drown her with them. (That's why McCoy grabs his arm back when June tries to bring him to the "surface".) In the good ending, June still tries to help McCoy, but eventually manages to get to the surface alone. (She managed to escape from that toxic cycle by realizing that she couldn't save them And Letting them "go", but ending up totally alone. Just as she was so afraid of end, Despite this, this ending leaves us with a slight hope of recovery as we hear the ferry approaching the island in the distance.) And about what happened with Ryan. He was the one who was most aware of the situation. (Even being willing to "abandon" The rest on the beach to escape With June when he realized that they had no salvation) I don't think that he left June behind. But she was too obsessed with helping others that he finally decided to Take The first step And Getting out of that cycle of toxicity. But leaving his jacket on top of her when he leave, Still offering his help But no longer physically. (When the water drags June down, the jacket ends up on the shore of the beach so Ryan in this end Can't Help us anymore, being only June's decision whether to continue holding on to them or return to shore.) That's why we only see him briefly at The end. Representing that he wanted to help her But June was still trapped and unable to let go of her friends. 2 Seeing everything in the game in a more literal way And Thanks to various dialogues I can tell that all this Is because Of The sea. With McCoy Staring blank at It to later Drinking water desperately, vonnie eating all The sea food to try to bring them Back to The sea And Carmen Inside the bathtub To the point of overflowing it. I can't say what exactly caused only the three of them to become infected. But it's already progress.) In the end they all just end up drowning in the sea by themselves. (Ryan probably Get infected also in this end)

wait what did it say that in the game? i dont remember

@@0butter_blush038 It doesn't really say that. I put quotes just because it is something people always ask condescendingly.

Can you please explain I am so confused 🥺

@@skacool LONG RIP SPOILERS!! … idk personally to me I think it’s about mental health and alcoholism, I’ve felt for June throughout this entire game because she’s perceived to be a childish adult amongst those who are older and act it. How all her friends have drank themselves to “Death” (notice how Alcohol and wine is what ends up infecting them) which I think signifies Alcoholism and the death of childhood. McCoy is the first to feel the repercussions of punching June which snaps him out of it, which typically people under the influence are more prone to violence which is what we see with McCoy. Vonnie binge eats and gets aggressive verbally when under the influence and so does their other friend (sorry forgot her name lol) but she goes into a sort of depressive state. Everyone who’s affected becomes “wasted” away. Noticeably Ryan is unaffected on the outside but deep inside he was definitely feeling it. Which I think shows how mental health can go unchecked. Ryan leaving his coat with June showing he was willingly leaving (it’s also something people do when they’re committing) it’s also why we DONT physically see Ryan’s face when he’s heading into the water, he wasn’t infected but he CHOSE to die with them despite being the only sober one, however he was a long time drinker and so maybe seeing his friends be affected by beer and wine ultimately caused him to OFF himself so he wouldn’t become wasted away like them or because he became so depressed by their deaths. June mentions her cousin cutting off her friends a few weeks back and how it affected her, which I think is ultimately what happens here with June too.

@@skacool not sure what the metal component is or what the HER is but if anyone has any suggestions or input I’m all ears!! ^__^

Also wanted to mention the whole “dragging people down with you” like June was planning to in one of the endings with Ryan might indicate Toxicity within friends and knowing when to cut people off

@@cristinaestrella oh thank you, I was so confused now I understand what’s with the zombie apocalypse thing but really I think that it is really good game with the depth of the meaning in it btw you wrote a lot sorry for wasting your time bro you are smart to understand the game 🥰☺️🥹

im confused too but i think everyone js died

The way the people react with water, drinks, food, is very similar to a really drunk person. McCoy becomes violent at an instant - hence why when sober he very actively rejects violence. Vonnie's asshole tendencies get amplified by a million, and she's downright caustic. Carmen is catty and referencing things she shouldn't, it's classic drunkard behavior. In the ending, Ryan also succumbs, and June can either 'follow', to try to save him to her own downfall, or 'go back', to abandon Ryan but live.

​@@ruymartinez4526 No because sge drags Ryan with back to the shore, Ryan is not affected meaning he probably willing to go with them symbolizing that he commit not alive, and June is keeping him from doing so or join in. We just only see June but not Ryan which can also be that she left him behind to save herself, it's left ambiguous even their own fate.

FOR REAL

Damn I had no idea the devs were students, that’s incredibly cool considering the quality of games they’ve already put out. If I remember correctly, most of their games were for gamejams so that adds like another level of challenge. Gameplay wise, my favorite of theirs is probably elevator hitch but honestly this one might have my favorite story/concept despite being made on a time limit. The way everything is lost is just so bleak and horrifying that the impact of it stays with me longer than the others. My heart wishes there was a happier ending but it was a valid decision to not have one.

The game devs are STUDENTS?! Man they are so cool I am obsessed with the games man the games are masterpieces I swear they deserve appreciation 🫡👌🥰

Not that I disagree but I mean...you post something on the internet then you should fully expect criticism that is probably the only reason they would put it out there for free to begin with is to grow yknow? Good luck to them but no need to be a knights shield in an effort to slay ...people having bad opinions about a free game

​@@pandapruitt2542 Don't get me wrong, I can absolutely see where you're coming from here! But I still gotta point this out. This is a youtube video, brother! The creator of this youtube video did not create the game, did not develop the game, and has absolutely no ability to edit or improve the game whatsoever. Writing a comment here will not help the developers "grow", because this random youtuber is not a game developer. There IS a time and place for criticism! It's a very important thing, and that's what review boards are for! But you don't go into a museum to tell a random security guard how to improve the art, you don't go to a grocery store to tell a random cashier how to improve the food, you don't go to the theater to tell a random ticket salesman how to improve the movie, and you don't go into a random youtuber's comment section to write a game review. There's a time and place for everything, mate! But if you wanna criticize the game you gotta try finding an actual review board that the developers can read first, cause they probably aren't gonna start lookin through this random comment section for feedback 😅

@@stanboksu the game won’t save unless you take the unzipped folder out of downloads and put it into applications, then take the Game file out of the folder and put it directly under Applications

i do take that to heart and will say for what it is i actually love how it turned out in terms of art, style, animation, story, etc :P......... buuuuuuut I do feel inclined to still be slightly picky about the abrupt way it just ends :/ time crunch or not with all the frames they had for character conversations and whatnot i feel they still could've added a bit more to the endings :/

oh buddy...

Im gonna hold your hand when I tell you this..

I think it’s more about addiction. june has to watch as her friend group falled apart due to addiction- which could be put as alcohol here: as they all get addicted to the water. ryan and june were the last two, watching as their friends get addicted and their personalities change and fall deeper into the rabbit hole. eventually, ryan falls into the addiction himself. at the end, it gave june a choice. I liked to interpret this as her choosing between staying sober or getting drunk, seeing what the appeal is so she can be with her friends: a toxic, yet united friendgroup. if you choose to follow ryan, you get into the addiction. If you go back to shore, you fought the urges and eventually surfaced- getting help, being, finally leaving the friend group and alcohol.

yup, same creator

i mean we were KINDA left at a cliff hanger so maybe theres finna be more in the future 🤤
