Unique and beautiful artwork with a gothic/grey style that creates a strong atmosphere.
Challenging puzzles combined with fast-paced action and epic boss fights provide a rewarding experience for players who enjoy difficulty.
Calm and fitting music enhances the overall ambiance and immersion of the underwater environment.

Controls are often frustrating, unintuitive, and poorly explained, leading to difficulty in executing precise movements.
Heavy reliance on trial and error and precise timing causes repeated failures and frustration, sometimes resulting in rage quits.
Lack of controller support and sparse instructions make the game less accessible and harder to enjoy for some players.

gameplay

The gameplay offers a linear puzzle-solving experience reminiscent of games like Limbo, set in an underwater environment with a mix of action and adventure elements. While the game's visuals and atmosphere are praised, the mechanics are often described as janky, leading to frustrating trial-and-error challenges that can feel tedious. Despite its difficulty and occasional need to seek solutions, many find the gameplay enjoyable and uniquely engaging.
- “If you like games like Limbo that give you a linear set of puzzles to solve throughout your journey, this game channels that kind of gameplay pretty well, except you move around in an underwater environment as a fish.”
- “Very good looking game with unusual gameplay that gives you a very cool feeling while you play it!”
- “Although it gets quite hard and sometimes you have to fiddle around with things to work out what to do, the art style is really good and the gameplay is fun.”
- “However, the mechanics behind it are just so painfully janky that it makes the experience unenjoyable.”
- “Running into the first obstacle forcing you to google a solution after 1 minute of gameplay is bad.”
- “Gameplay can then basically be summed up as dying over and over and over until you figure out what you're supposed to do and then dying over and over and over trying to successfully execute the solution.”

The story is present but not particularly engaging or essential to the experience. Unlocking story levels requires completing a somewhat tedious minigame, which some players may find unappealing. Overall, the narrative is minimal and not a major focus.
- “There is some story, but I would not really bother with that.”
- “I didn't like the minigame you have to play in order to unlock the story levels much, but to be honest, it wasn't that bad, just a bit tedious.”
