A very unique game with an interesting premise - exploring an alien ocean and categorizing the life found there. Story wise, it starts off kind of slow, but as you uncover the mysteries of the ocean it really starts to suck you in. Discovering new species became more exciting, and the story explores some really poignant themes.

It also has a super unique style. Very minimalist, but by using different effects and colors, it somehow never got old.

Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is slow and clunky. Moving from point to point takes more button presses/clicks than one would hope. I didn't end up exploring as much as I would have liked to just because navigating the world took so long.

The story was fortunately short enough that I didn't give up before completing it. If you enjoy exploring and reading flavor text (or marine biology) - would definitely recommend giving this title a shot.
