this got me deeply entertained, so much so that I forgot for a long while that I have to play other games oon my list. I would definetely buy a game with this experience on steam. I love how minimal it is, which also makes it feel more real in some way, and has so much potential in other directions as well, it could be an Iron Lung type of experience or a narrative focused one too
Thanks for playing and we're really glad you enjoyed it! Definitely has potential to be expanded upon!
Interesting to have to move and play entirely by instruments. I wasn’t sure why the icon for the sub was continually spinning on the sonar page - was I doing something wrong?
Thanks for playing and leaving a review!
As for the icon, it was just an animation showing that it's possible to face different directions, you weren't doing anything wrong. Apologies for the confusion.
a bit strange but new to me, i liked it, really cool the immersion of the gameplay,
I invite you to play my game and give me some feedback as well ^^
Thanks for playing and we're glad you liked it!
This game is sick, It has a great atmosphere and execution. I really enjoyed exploring the sea floor. It takes a little to get used to, but after I understood what was going on, I was scrapping sea mines and avoiding red dots like a pro. Good game!
Thanks for playing and we're glad you enjoyed it!
Really interesting concept and cool art direction, but I just could not figure out how to play.
I glanced over the manual but too much reading in a not easy to digest way, I would recommend to break it up and feed it to the player piece by piece not as a wall of text.
Thanks for playing and leaving us feedback!
In hindsight, we should have put more time into the tutorial so that it's much more intuitive for players.
I highly suggest adding in either a tutorial or a how to play in this game, I tried it and honestly could not make heads or tails on what I needed to do, or how to do it apart from randomly pressing buttons hoping something works.
Thanks for your feedback!
There's an in-game manual that explains how to use the submarine. You need to click on the question mark icon on the dashboard (which admittedly isn't very intuitive). I've added a note to the game description to clarify this.
