The atmosphere and writing are great and I'm love with the setting, but it took a couple of tries before it stopped being overwhelming and starts to become more enjoyable. Sometimes it starts to feel grindy especially with how slow your boat is and how often you need to revisit the different ports.

Discovering a new port in the middle of the dark and oppressive underground always feel rewarding, though, in addition to that sense of "I wonder what kind of messed up thing I'm about to see this time." I like the one with the Sun.
