Y'know, I think there's actually a clue in the game itself as to Borrus's ultimate fate. It cuts to black, supposing to leave it up to the viewer's imagination whether or not Borrus was able to get out of the way or not, but I think the game has already told us in a really clever way that he doesn't. Go back to the very start of the game and look at the bottom of the screen. Took me a while to realize that thing is a meter that tells you how close you are to your next evolution. More importantly, the icon at the top of it shows you what your next stage looks like. A 4-celled embryo. Every time Borrus changes, this icon changes, too, to show you what the next "stage" in his life will be. Now look what happens at 6:33. Once you've seen the ending of the game, the meaning of that is unmistakable.

Everyone's interpretation is different, but what's amusing to me is the end seems like the creatures fall victim to a machine, which is an invention by humans.

[@seppukufell6913]

I haven't seen anyone in the comments mention this and thought it was important and interesting. The final monster is named Orro (Uro) and the little creature you play as is Borrus (boros) "Uroboros is a circular symbol depicting a snake, or less commonly a dragon, swallowing its tail, as an emblem of wholeness or infinity" At 8:37 Orro is eating its tail. This game is constantly reiterating that point. Another example is the other embryos being called 'siblings' 8:19 and Borrus must eat them to grow and survive. Every creature in this game is either eating or being eaten. To conclude I think this game represents the continual cycle of life throughout its different stages of growth (Wholeness) and death (Infinity). But in the end when Borrus and Orro are crushed the natural cycle is broken by Man and Machine.

[@maui5049]

Borrus is still alive.There are 2 reasons why I think Borrus (the fetus) survived.The first is that he realized he was going to be crushed, so he quickly gathered strength, got up and possibly escaped, apart that it was on the edge of the range where it was crushing, so one move and it was safe. The second is that there was a gold body there (the humanoid whale) which by the time the machine crushed gold, it will be very hard so it may be that it makes the machine run and berrus escape, or the other is that it gives you time because of how hard it is another (the humanoid whale), so the machine will have a hard time crushing it and berrus (the fetus) successfully escapes in what it takes for the machine to crush the humanoid whale. Finally berrus is still alive and quite possibly we will see a second chapter of this game

[@jacktailssonplays4833]

Maui No, Borrus is not alive. Even if he could, Borrus would only have part of his body remaining resulting in death as it was just about to fall right there and then.

[@jacktailssonplays4833]

Maui And as well, seeing as how easily Borrus could destroy Orro, I doubt the machine would have trouble crushing Orro.

Names "Orro" and "Borros" just remembered me of "Ouroboros" and "The ouroboros is often interpreted as a symbol for eternal cyclic renewal or a cycle of life, death, and rebirth." wow

I just want to thank you for not voicing over the gameplay, it kept things tense and scary.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

You know what I was thinking for the ending? That the player BECOMES the scary purple teeth snake in the end, destined to chase after other dividing cells to stay alive...

[@redwolftrash]

that's what i thought but it seems like they're separate species bc when he finds something that looks like the fetus version of the human worm thing, it's a different embryo color and it has a different, serpentine body.

[@slenderminion289]

What gets me most about that pink eel thing are its teeth. Those fletched, yellow, human-like teeth.

[@legionbeast]

This is really amazing. This really feels like the first chapter of a much larger game and the devs should really take advantage of this utterly unique setting to expand upon this.

[@Encorous]

I thought this was gonna become some twisted survival of the fittest type stuff at first. You were lucky enough to be born in a safer environment, in turn you were able to devour the late bloomers, who were presumably also part of your species. At the very end I was guessing you'd turn into the face-fish, signifying that you've made it to the top and your job would be to kill the ones who fell behind.

8:37 you can see Orro crying and he seems to leak bubbles or liquid from his eyes at various stages in the game. It could be that it is as aware of the cruelty involved in its fate just as Borrus is aware of his fate in devouring its own siblings.

I love this channel so much. The way you play makes these videos almost feel like a trailer or exhibition for the game, like you’re being careful to show off the finest points of these games the way the developers likely intended. Also, the sheer number of obscure, artistic indie games you showcase that I’d never find myself makes me a little nostalgic for the times when Markiplier would play weird games like “A Box Full of Joy” and “Brighter Day” and I’d watch them before going to bed. Good memories...

Hello, artist of Swallow the Sea chiming in. This project was intentionally very small in scope, as Nico(the programmer) and I had not worked together previously so we decided to create a small achievable project to figure out our work flow. This project has been super successful by our metrics, so expect to see something larger than this (but just as weird) in the future!

Mutant zygote thing goes out and starts eating stuff, gets attacked by Orro (big purple worm man), then kills it to reveal it was trying to protect its child which you also kill. Somewhere along the way you enter your mother's corpse I guess and eat your siblings. Then it's all for nothing because you end up getting fished up and killed.
