First of all: this game's amazing. The lore and atmosphere is awesome and masterfully done. You don't go on a quest to defeat a powerful being but rather collect items to worship it and hope it spares your life. Love that. The game's similarity to Darkest Dungeon and Dave the Diver is visible, but when it's done as well as it is here, the similar mechanics don't overshadow the originality of the game, but rather make it feel better. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Overall the mechanics, gameplay and lore work together to create a unique experience and I'm all for it. HOWEVER , some things need adressing: Firstly, the progression in the lategame can be tedious. Waiting for the gazing moon to upgrade or craft advanced buildings or items feels awful. If the game had some mechanic (maybe burning a specific tribute) to increase a chance of specific weather, it would feel a lot better in my opinion. I get that it's a hardcore game and it's supposed to be hard to get what you want, but it just feels bad to rely on luck (which i think determines the weather). Edit: Tanuki in the comments rightfully corrected me that you can bless a biome and harvest blessed resources, thanks! Secondly, there are some bugs, for example the lockers don't seem to display the whole of the diver's inventory and trying to manipulate it by throwing out some items ends up freezing the game upon interacting with the locker. The saving grace is that when i restarted the game, it put me into state from before the dive and didn't kill my diver. The third thing i noticed is that when combining high level gear with the physical abilities enhancement, some enemies do little to no damage, and while it's cool to feel invincible to low level enemies and killing them without losing any health i think that being bitten by It That Crawls and just shrugging it off without even taking 1 point of damage is either a bug or a bad design. The problems aren't enough to make the game bad though. They are heavily overpowered by the good parts and I'd recommend trying the game to anyone. <3

I read a review saying "It's boring diving from the same spot over and over." So that's just a false review, that guy didn't get very far if he kept diving from the same spot each time. You find multiple dive spots, plus with materials you end up building a whispering teleporter which also teleports you to different deeper places. Guy couldn't get past the first biome called "The Shallows" xd It's been fun sacrificing my survivors to the rain god though.

I'm fairly certain this game is the result of Dave the Diver, Dredge, and Darkest Dungeon having an unholy threesome. It's also a certified Steam Deck banger.

What if Dave the Diver and Dredge had a baby, and the baby was terrifying? Extremely good. Art, music, voice acting, absolutely crush

Alright, i have played only a little and can say it right away - game is very similar to Don't Starve in a sense that you will absolutely do million mistakes during first run. There are limited amount of days (40 on easy difficulty), so if your diver dies - you lose 1 day and already get behind schedule. So far i seen only one way to increase count - to sacrifice some food and treasures in altar, after 4 days of sacrifices reward is +1 day to timer. Now, this game is not giving you an easy time. Monsters can one-shot and able to corner character into dead ends and walls, there are no i-frames, so they attack over and over, making you panic and run into other monsters. Do not bless waters on first run, as it makes game unbearable for later dives to the point of abandoning save. Resource management is straightforward and on easy side - there is no problem in getting enough food and treasures, especially if you main fishery early. So people mostlikely won't get sick or crazy. Having 8 population also not a big deal, just make sure to pick perk that reduces their daily consumption first. It is fun but requires a lot of knowledge you possibly cannot have until finding it out by experimentation. You must know map with 100% clarity - where important things are, like maps, relics and rare loot. Checking NPC perks is a must, as it is possible to find overpowered things like free usage of turbo mode, which makes underwater traveling much easier, as well as helps avoiding creatures.
