yes. download itch.io app on linux and enable linux in settings drag the file (it should be your last modified one) into the linux folder and open terminal and type in: chmod +x itch-setup and then type ./itch setup and it should open. login and you can download games and play. *disclaimer- app sometimes flickers and crashes with some games (random games) im pretty sure you can only play linux compatible games (idk). If you use first person or need to look around (ingame) goto about:flags in google chrome and enable pointer lock for linux applications :) have fun (its actually my first day with the app lol)
hehe :) start with going to settings and enabling linux. wait for it to install. go the thing u drag up from the bottom with the apps and stuff. open terminal from linux folder and type in chmod +x itch-setup and then ./itch-setup to open it. then download some stuff and play. but u can only play linux compatible games with that little penguin icon. if you have discord you can dm me at Bep Cow#0598
Ay, i am kinda techie kid, but I asked an even more evolved techie kid. Who like knows everything about coding and stuff like that. I am techie kid because I google stuff and remember it and become smart boi
This game is AMAZING I LOVED IT! SO much vibrant colors and very interactive. Also to add on to that the sea looked so good! This game is a must play and it's definately on my list of best games!
Hey there! I just did this through windows so I should be able to help. So, you should see a file in your downloads called "What-Lives-Below-Demo-Windows". You'll wanna right click on that and you'll see an option that says "Extract All..." click that. It'll ask where you wanna put the new file, that's completely up to you. Once it's finished extracting go to the location you put it to (let's say you just had it extract to your downloads folder again for simplicity). Click on the new folder (it'll have the same name as the old one but will be a regular folder instead of a zipped one). Then go into the second subfolder and open the "What Lives Below Demo" application by double clicking. That should open the game. Hope this helps!
This will be AWESOME, if it could have multiplayer with bigger boats/ships. My friends and I have been searching for a game like this forever! But we can't play with each other. The game by its self, it looks awesome, the water looks brilliant. But in my opinion, it would be lots of fun to play with friends.
I really loved the atmosphere ... the sound of the waves, spray or water, and the rolling effect. You really feel like you are out of your depth.
For me it might have actually been too realistic in terms of combat. I don't think I was even able to hit the first boss. If I did, I did not see any indication.
I would suggest starting with something a little easier, maybe taking out a few sharks with one shot each, to give the player some positive feedback and a feel for the weapons and movement before pitting them against a giant boss whale. Just a suggestion.
I will keep going ... feel free to ignore ... If you've played Legend of Zelda: Windwaker, I really loved the fights with the giant squids. They were much easier of course, but they put your boat into a whirlpool that spins around the squid. This looks terrifying but actually makes it easier, because you no longer have to control the boat. I'm not sure if you had a time limit in that case...
There was also a great boat/monster combat in Resident Evil 4, but I can't remember exactly what I liked about it.
Finally, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth has a fight against Dagon, where you are on a ship. You have to grab hold of the railings when he shakes the boat, then you have a few seconds to get a shot at him with the on-board cannon. That was probably my favorite boat/monster fight ever.
Again, these are just ideas I am throwing at you. I do really love the idea and how well you've made this!
Game has a lot of potential. I know it's still early into development but it would be awesome if the creatures all had their own unique "death animation" for when you died to them.
Hey, steb! Played this game for a few hours. Amazing. I've been following you on twitter for a while now, and watching the development on this game was wonderful. You created such a unique world and concept, well done. I can not wait for the final product of this game, I'll definitely be purchasing if or when you post on Steam.
One thing I really would like to see in the future is boat / dock upgrades perhaps?
I really want to see a new game + mode as well? (Far later on in development, whenever you see fit. Dunno.)
All in all, loved it so much. Will continue to replay the demo until the next version is released. Great work!
Thank you for the support! It is much appreciated.
I did consider upgrades before, I even had an implementation for a shop where you could buy them, however it made balancing difficult and felt unnecessary.
I may consider another type of upgrades (e.g. pick an upgrade after every boss), I need to do some planning and then I'll see how I feel after that.
Hii, I've made a video about the game and I wanted to share some feedback about it :), hopefully it's useful to you :D
-The main concept/idea of having epic battles against those brutal bosses is quite interesting give the player a pretty interesting gameplay experience.
-All the gameplay mechanics you have chosen work very well together and feel pretty solid, the battles feel really epic and even losing feels fun because it's a way to learn how to fight the enemy.
-Visually the game looks amazing, I would improve a little bit the dock, but when you get into the sea and get into the fight the visuals are spectacular.
-I literally forgot to repair the ship as I was distracted admiring the movements of the boss hahaha.
-If this is what you have done in 8 months keep working on this because with more time and improving things like the menu and adding a few new bosses you could have a very very awesome game.
In conclusion, the idea is great and I hope you keep working on it. Hopefully this is useful for the development :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)
I'm definitely gonna buy this when it comes out, it's so ambitious and refreshing to see a concept like this! You really feel the scale from your poor tiny boat and how it rocks and the gameplay is simple but effective. Hoping I can get a new gfx card in time for the real release!

thanks bro. it might take about a hundred years to figure out what half of what you said means but ill get it eventually lol
hehe :) start with going to settings and enabling linux. wait for it to install. go the thing u drag up from the bottom with the apps and stuff. open terminal from linux folder and type in chmod +x itch-setup and then ./itch-setup to open it. then download some stuff and play. but u can only play linux compatible games with that little penguin icon. if you have discord you can dm me at Bep Cow#0598

This game is AMAZING I LOVED IT! SO much vibrant colors and very interactive. Also to add on to that the sea looked so good! This game is a must play and it's definately on my list of best games!
pls halp i can't figure out how to open it... ;-;
i downloaded it but i can't figure out on how to open the game and actually be able to play it............
Edit: btw i'm on windows

ok I'm probably a idiot but how do I kill the first one?
Hit the glowing spot with the harpoon ("2" key).
IGP brought me here. This game already had an incredibly epic feel and I can't wait to follow the development.
I have NO clue how to aggro the 4th boss, I spent a while using the explo harpoons and I even got sorta inside it so i'm confused what to do
Try using explosive harpoons on the weak looking part of the arches :)
um... I might be stupid but how do I kill the bird. It just keeps flying around and if I hit it with a harpoon it doesn't do damage
Use the explosive harpoons on the islands around where the bird perches. They should fall on the bird :)
This will be AWESOME, if it could have multiplayer with bigger boats/ships.

This game scared 10 years off my life and I was only at the first boss.
I really loved this game, it was very hard and the atmosphere was amazing.
I am Dopey Dik reporting for duty, one of my favourite games this year, a must try and experience the fear...
came here from igp. this game is so magical. in the upcoming updates, is it possible for coop?
Game has a lot of potential. I know it's still early into development but it would be awesome if the creatures all had their own unique "death animation" for when you died to them.
I like the game but for some reason I lag a lot do you know how to fix it
might be your pc. What are your specs?
i was able to fix thanks anyways
This looks awesome!.. Any chance of VR support (Happy to test for you ) :D
Anyone Else Want AK-47 Wielding Pirates Also I Think This Game Is Awesome.
