How it feels

A slow, weighty seafaring simulation where you navigate silent ruins and choose who to trust under a vast indifferent sky.

What players say

Players praise the mysterious underwater world, turn based combat, and resource management, but are split on polish for a 1.0 release. Some call it buggy with missing quality of life and a confusing start, while others say its tense exploration rewards patience. Japanese text is unreadable and the game crashes on some laptops.
