A downloadable game

Pine Lake is an FPS horror game centred around exploring the lake with its islands and surrounding land areas and is about discovering buried treasure to dig up whilst trying to avoid the cursed pirate lord seeking to defend his ancient loot.
GAMEPLAY
Set sail on your boat & use a compass and map to explore and dig up seven ancient treasures, whilst trying to avoid an old pirate lord cursed to sail the lake and kill those who seek his treasure!
STORY
Pine Lake used to be a public park that people visited and used to go camping, fishing, canoeing & have great outdoor adventures! In recent years people have been going missing and as that became more and more known, the park slowly was not visited… some say the curse was unleashed after someone went digging where they shouldn’t have...
THE JACK DAWN & THE REVENANT
The Jack dawn, a pirate ship known for its successful plunders, had finally met a foe that has long been hunting them down. The Revenant, who had been waiting for the pirate's next attempt to recover a long lost treasure.
The pirate captain of the Jack Dawn was a leader to be feared, but over time of plundering he had made multiple enemies, some royal navy and other pirate crews.
His last battle was chasing a treasure that would set him and his crew for life, but like many things too good to be true, their adventure took a bad turn. They had to fall back to the Green Pine Lake for safety, but being low on supplies and the ship taking on water, they sank at Pine Lake with no food or water to survive for long.
Storys tell that the evil surrounding the lake is the captain having a cursed afterlife looking after his treasure...
Anyone who dares look for the treasure may not return...
THE PLAYER
The player is an archaeologist who has heard rumours of the cursed land and being a big fan of pirate history he set to go to Pine Lake and uncover the truth behind the stories.
Can you lift the curse and return the sunshine to this once beautiful lake?

Very fun despite my terrible sailing skills (navigation skills were on point though). I do think it is a tad unfair to reset the entire thing if you get caught, maybe a checkpoint like, halfway through the treasures would be a good idea. Other than that, I love the visuals and overall, really fun game, good work!
thanks for the feedback, the game definitely needs a design overhaul... so many things are wrong with it!! Seeing as it was a game I made years ago I can (hopefully) assure you I've improved a little since then and have been contemplating re-making this entire game from the ground up with all the necessary improvements!
Oh I'd 100% play a revisited version of this, that was extremely fun (leave the janky boat controls though, those were hilarious hahaha)

Glad you eventually found your way around =)
Don't stay too close to that skeleboi!
Solid game and I enjoyed my time with it, but I do wish the enemies posed more of a threat and there was more variety to them.
Appreciate it, I was trying to go for an easier horror game but I'll defo look into making it harder / more enemy types, that can be toggled. Always hard to balance out since I figure the map is large and getting killed means resetting the whole thing. But glad you were still able to enjoy it =)
Also ill add some more threats on the islands, thanks for the suggestion!
