Sights & Sounds
- Not really much to look at. It kind of looks like a webpage with too much JavaScript or an overdesigned Tableau dashboard
- Luckily, the music is very good. Very chill stuff that'll help you relax
Story & Vibes
- I don't really want to spoil too much of the story because it's the biggest thing it's got going for it. Suffice it to say, it's quite an interesting sci-fi narrative with lots of intrigue
- Beyond the main plot, the game is very exploration-based, with an impressive amount of imaginative and detailed science fantasy to learn about
- The game is incredibly relaxing in spite of the occasionally stressful plot points
Playability & Replayability
- Gameplay mostly involves clicking on location dots and reading. Beyond that, you occasionally have to collect samples, run some of your submarine's movement systems, or disperse materials into the water around you
- In spite of the amount of time you spend exploring, you'll also find yourself going back to your base to further the story and do science
Overall Impressions & Performance
- I really loved the story, the exploratory gameplay, minimalist visual design, and music. Just understand that the pacing may be too slow and the gameplay a little too sparse for some tastes
- Given the overall lack of things happening on your screen, you shouldn't expect much trouble running the game
Final Verdict
- 6.5/10. If you're looking to just chill out, wander an exoplanet's ocean, and read a good story, this game will scratch an itch
