It's a nice short game about a small zygote absorbing its way into a fetus. Loved the dark atmosphere and the overwhelming pressure of being swallowed yourself. Gonna have to find lore and theory videos of this game later on, especially about the ending bit.
Well, sort of obvious, but worth mentioning: Spore. The cell stage is pretty much just this game more or less, but each stage doesn't last very long and the meat of the game is focused around the space stage.
Just watched Vinny's stream of this, and I can't really figure out the ending. It seems like... you... skipped a step? I'm not sure how you got to the place in the ending cutscene from the place where you were before the cutscene started.
This is a valid criticism, although there is no missing step/teleportation/time skip. There are some elements in the background of the ending cinematic that are meant to better explain the relation between the two locations but I agree it can be somewhat obtuse to understand. Fortunately a logical understanding of the games locations in relation to each other is not needed for the story to emotionally function.
ı REALLY liked this game idea, concept can you continue to the game and add sandbox etc. game modes and ending was really good i really wanna see the adult version of us and play as it and sandbox sandbox sand boooooooooox!(probably i made some grammar faults)
Had a great time playing this game, short and sweet. Loved the eerie soundtrack and gushy sounds. Would love to play a full length version being chased by even larger and creepier creatures, evolving new abilities as the game progresses.
Ugh. This game was so fun, creepy, and just insanely bonkers. My partner and I enjoyed this a lot and love the atmosphere. We felt the dread in every turn and that feeling just felt unbelievable. Really like the art style and really capture how mess up this world is. Keep the great work. Looking forward to the other games.
Loved this game, loved the short story it tried to convey! I'm so glad I included in one of my 3 Scary Games. Would love and would play this if you guys decided to turn it into a full game.

so fun and shock
Hi there comment section :))
Um, so, I really love the concept of hunting creatures to "evolve", while getting to eat your previous predators and stuff
But I can't really find other games that work this way
Do y'all have any recommendations?
Well, sort of obvious, but worth mentioning: Spore. The cell stage is pretty much just this game more or less, but each stage doesn't last very long and the meat of the game is focused around the space stage.
Oh I didn't know about that one, thanks! I'll look into it ^^
Will Swallow the Sea release for mobile platforms?
Hello Alex302,
Swallow the Sea is not currently planned to be ported to any other future platforms.
Our current focus is our latest release Brutal Orchestra however if any critical issues arise with Swallow the Sea we will return to resolve them.
Yup, don't think I will be going into the sea ever again after this...
Thanks for the Nightmares🙂
Awesome game. Great atmosphere.
good game
Hey, I'm looking for a new horror game to play, but I don't do well with jumpscares- does this have any?
Hey becket,
Swallow the Sea contains no jump scares. Swallow the Sea's "horror" elements come from the games oppressive atmosphere and dark themes.
Hopefully you have fun with it!

Addicted as f***
What surreal and frightening game! Loved it.
Great art and nice game
Que assustador quando o verme roxo abre os olhos e começa a tocar uma música de tensão.
Vai ter um segundo jogo... ?
Being born never felt so raw
That was much shorter than I expected, but was extremely good. Even the most powerful creatures are at mercy to humans.
I really want to see more of this. Please let there be more it was so good.
Short but very impressive!
Lore: Borrus survives and great and creepy game
nooOoOoOo BORRUS HOW COULD THEY !!!!!!
I think he actually survives beacause i think that when the people saw that it was alive they stopped the crusher.(:
i hope
They where just like "It's Time To STOP!"
Deeply discomforting experience, good work!
loved it!
An entertaining and cute little experience. NightinGames really enjoyed the game; keep up your good work!
Классная игра!
Unnerving, disturbing, and certainly entertaining. That purple mother had me on edge the whole time.
This has a lot of untapped potential.
We need more. More. MOAAARRRRRRR!!!!!.
Haunting! Loved it!
I really liked the cool art and monster designs on this game.
Haha borrus go C R U N C H

Reminds me of my childhood!
