How it feels

Descending into a vast, silent deep-sea world feels tense and isolating, with deliberate exploration through dimly lit zones and an undertone of unknown danger.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and aesthetic, but find the controls clunky, combat janky, and puzzles unintuitive. Some call it a promising idea with poor execution, and a few note specific difficulty spikes like the generator eel.
