  • optimization9 mentions

    The game's optimization has seen recent improvements that enhance visuals and performance, yet many players still experience significant issues like freezing, stuttering, and glitchy movement.

  • story8 mentions

    The story aspect of the game is appreciated for its connection to the historical events of the Titanic, with users noting its potential to engage fans of the tragedy. While some desire more depth and additional modes to enhance gameplay, the narrative is seen as a solid foundation for those interested in the Titanic's story. Overall, it offers a good starting point for players who enjoy historical narratives, though there is room for expansion.

    • “If you want a really good Titanic game with a far more detailed replica of the ship, fantastic music, and a great story, look up Titanic: Adventure Out of Time... it's an amazing game from the 90s made by Cyberflix.”
    • “Massive fan of the Titanic story; something like this will appeal to a lot of people.”
    • “The sinking mode would be better if the ship broke in half, and it would be nice if you could watch the water rise through the interior (the grand staircase, smoking room) without the worry of drowning or not completing the story.”
    • “It's not just a familiar story; real people actually experienced this.”
    • “Again, not expecting it to have a 10-hour story, but more modes (in case the dev is really creative) would add playtime for me.”
  • music7 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the relaxing piano tunes that enhance the atmosphere, particularly in the first-class lounges.

Overall, while the music is noted as a positive aspect, it may not be enough to elevate the game for all players.

    • “- Relaxing piano music plays when you are in first class lounges.”
    • “I'm a big sucker for the Titanic... and this concept... and I love the music too. If the developer keeps on at this game as promised, I think it will be fantastic!”

    • “There is also some piano music playing in the dining room, while the actual piano seems to be pretty far away... avoid even for free.”

  • atmosphere7 mentions

    The game's atmosphere effectively immerses players in the experience of being on the sinking Titanic, creating a sense of urgency and tension as they navigate the dark, rising waters. However, some players feel that the lack of accessible areas and NPCs diminishes the overall immersion, leading to repetitive exploration of limited environments.

    • “In the future, I hope for more furniture, better rendering, and a more lively atmosphere in explore mode.”
    • “-Atmosphere- you actually feel like you're on the Titanic and it's sinking.”
