How it feels

A brief, free-to-play action experience set in the neptune depths with an experimental feel.

What players say

Players compare it to Iron Lung with a focus on managing camera, audio recorder, and radar to survive randomized threats. Dying repeatedly is the intended learning method, but some find the lack of clear indicators frustrating. The community is split on whether the trial-and-error design feels rewarding or just confusing.
