May 2025
Fun little management horror game, It's scary enough for the duration you'll be playing it but it's not super hard though, I only ever died once to the insta-kill monster and I had so much food after a couple in-game days that it wasn't even a problem anymore The story is fine up until the ending, which feels kinda lazy and isn't very fun to get to at all, Spoilers for the final level gameplay but no story You have to do 3 increasingly difficult parkour sections to beat the game and the movement just isn't very good for that, pretty sure you have to buy the speed upgrade to even make some of the jumps Seems like it gets updates so maybe more content will come soon but in it's current state, I'd still say it's worth $10 Edit: No new updates... Sadge.

The insta kills in tight corridors where everything is just a little too dark aren't super fun.

This is a really fun game. If tweaked a bit, it could become perfect. It needs a new ending. One that necessitates staying and upgrading. This is such a good game in the way that it really is the first of it's kind. Like The Last Spell or Battle Brothers. For awhile you couldn't find any game like it. In the case of the Last Spell that is still the case. This game needs a sequel or a spiritual successor. Horror Immersive Sim that has economy mechanics along with building/upgrades.

Wake up, have a panic attack something is behind me, there isn't, grab dishes, wash them, throw them in 'The Hole', grab basket, get in elevator, its a church, collect floppy dish, collect more dishes, sees something, its a spider, panic and run away, get in elevator, door closes right before spider gets me, relief washes over me, go back to room, harvest lemons, go to sleep, repeat. This game gives me horrible anxiety but defiantly worth it

Great indie game. Well worth the price. Cozy base building, even with the limited options, fun to farm and fish and wash dishes. I wish the research table brought more to the game. Automation was fun, The Depths is a cool idea and I enjoyed exploring it. I wish late game had an option, through the research bench, to be able to leave a rudimentary trail of some kind, like breadcrumbs or something. Cool commentary on the illusion of freedom or whatever. End game parkour is cool and difficult, it's not too long or short, it's just right. Could use some polishing on the automation side of things, had lots of issues with the autocleaners causing the dishes to collide with each other and fall out of the conveyor system. Devs, for the love of God, please add achievements so I can justify spending hours washing dishes in a video game rather than cleaning my house in real life.
