What players say

Players describe a short, unsettling underwater horror game with unique turn-based diving and resource management. The creature designs are praised as genuinely scary, but many note a rough start with unclear controls and the rope mechanic is confusing. A minority report save bugs and a seemingly repetitive ending choice.
