The gameplay emphasizes cooperative mechanics, requiring tight coordination between players using a submarine and a companion app, with puzzles intricately designed around submarine operations. While the experience is engaging and challenging, it lacks a meaningful solo mode, which may disappoint those seeking traditional single-player elements or action-oriented gameplay. Overall, players find the cooperative aspect both fun and addictive.
“The puzzle design takes full advantage of the underwater military setting, tying mechanics to systems you’d expect aboard a submarine: pressure controls, ballast chambers, radio frequencies, encrypted launch sequences, and emergency overrides.”
“The core gameplay relies on tight coordination between the player inside the submarine and the partner using the companion app.”
“There is no meaningful solo option—every mechanic is built for two participants, and the emotional payoff comes from solving problems together under stress.”
“For those hoping for more traditional single-player structure, deeper narrative branching, or action-heavy gameplay, the game’s specialized design may feel limited.”
