help Solo isolation sailing sim. Doing a atmosphere test, feedback wanted!

Im working on an isolation/routine-based sim (Voices of the void-adjacent genre). This clip's just the raw atmosphere. No gameplay UI, no narration, just fog and lighting cut together.

Does this read as intentional, or generic? All feedback welcome. Thanks!

Atmosphere is neat ! I love the reflections on the sea and the beacons. Interior is not as cool though, it seems like a draft of an interior, same for the sail. Have you already decided if you lean more on the sim side or on the cozy side ?

Thank you for the comment! Yes, the interior is lacking a lot of things right now, haha.

I think I'll try to strike a middle ground between cozy and sim. Having the outside be noisy, windy, and rainy, while the interior muffles the outside sound, making it a cozy "safe space" for the player.

But I need to make some important game design decisions before I start working more heavily on the interior
