Resonance of the Ocean - A Review
If I had to find a way to appreciate this game, it will most likely stay limited to its visual appeal as I have a soft spot for hand drawn games.
There’s merit behind the game’s design but the concept is so incredibly weak, it doesn’t have much to offer, even for those who like to play point-and-click games with a relaxing nature.
Eventually, the game leaves you with the desire to know and seek more despite its somewhat intuitive gameplay, which might be the only interesting aspect. Unfortunately, very disappointing!

Resonance of the Ocean is a brief game about answering a mysterious entity beyond the sea by imitating the sounds that travel to you across the eternal, undulating ocean waves.
Despite being very short, I was absolutely enthralled by it, both with the visual and audio as well as the initial concept behind it. The soft, gentle colour palette and the purposefully punctuated sound design give the title an identity of its own and stands well as its own idea and personality.
And even though the game itself is perfect in length as a short story, a full-length release of this game would be incredible, in my opinion.
More than well-worth a try, especially since it is a free title.
