Reviews
- Engaging and clever co-op puzzle game that strongly emphasizes communication and teamwork between two players.
- Clean, immersive art style and well-executed puzzles tied well to the submarine setting, enhancing atmosphere and tension.
- Only one purchase is required for two players, making it accessible and fun to play locally with a partner or friend.
- The asymmetry in roles can be frustrating, with one player often relegated to reading manuals and less interactive tasks.
- Lack of a Field of View (FOV) slider causes discomfort and makes the game physically difficult to play for long periods.
- Some puzzles and clue clarity can be opaque or inconsistent, occasionally leading to trial-and-error frustration.
gameplay
7 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is highly focused on cooperative problem-solving between two players, utilizing submarine-themed mechanics like pressure controls and encrypted sequences, making for a well-paced, engaging experience best enjoyed in a single session. It lacks meaningful solo options and traditional narrative depth, which may feel limiting to some, but its challenging puzzles and tight coordination deliver a rewarding emotional payoff.
“The core gameplay relies on tight coordination between the player inside the submarine and the partner using the companion app.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Most of the gameplay is still communicating symbols and scenes by caption-explaining things, but it's a great experience for two, bite-sized for one session, and well-paced.”
