I really want to like this game more but I feel torn on it. Exploration is interesting, progression is meaningful, and moment to moment gameplay is engaging. However, you only have 30-40 in-game days to complete the game, each dive taking one day, and you can also lose your best character in the blink of an eye. For some, these mechanics make the game MORE interesting, but for me I'd rather take my time. For me it creates a feeling that I need to do everything with so much efficiency, rather than organic enjoyment. I don't know an elegant solution for maintaining the sense of risk vs. reward and the sense of urgency that would be lost by removing these things, but I know I feel rushed by the day timer and losing my best diver, even a few days in feels like enough of a set back for me to just restart which just isn't viable for continued enjoyment. These things are just a matter of preference, and despite them (and one more minor gripe: I'd like to get a hint on how to survive/defeat certain hazardous enemies rather than oops there goes my best diver) the game is very good - hence the thumbs up.

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

I played the demo and loved it, bought the game and still liking it. It resembles Dave the Diver a bit, but with a progression similar to darkest dungeon. It's also quite unforgiving like DD. There's a lot of random events, stats, and so on that can happen which makes it very roguelike. The atmosphere and art is also very nice, relaxing, gloomy and somewhat melancholic. During the dive though it gets rather scary. If you meet some new threat and not sure if you should fight or flee, good chances are you better flee lol !

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.
