I Cannot Drown

Overview
I Cannot Drown is an English fangame created by pureiceblue for Dream Diary Jam 3. It was developed in RPG Maker MV.

Gameplay
I Cannot Drown plays like a traditional fangame. Interact with the bunny on the red ball to save. Interacting with the burial pit leads to another world. If the player gets lost, they can use the "Return" talent in the menu to get back to the hole. The goal is to explore and collect effects. V0.02 added a new collectable in the form of "parts" with four of the six planned currently in the demo. These don't seem to have any use as of yet, but they appear in the hole after being collected.

Controls

 * Move - Arrow keys
 * Interact - Z/Space
 * Open Menu - X or ESC
 * Use effects - Shift

Plot
You play as Ume, who is stuck in a hole for an unknown reason.

Trivia (ver 0.02)
The Changelog of version 0.02 and 0.02.1 contains at the end of the file some text that apparently makes no sense. If you put it into a Base64 Decoder it says:

''The term "memento mori" is meaningless if you relinquish your mortality. To force a being that has made herself eternal to exist outside her body in a special hell is a cruel act indeed. However, when you force a soul out of a body, one should be careful to make sure that you haven't created a martyr. Every second closer my children get to piecing me together, the closer I get to seeing you again. When I do, I will make sure that you know how it feels to have your soul torn from your body. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. And I will relish in it.''
