The graphics of the game are generally praised for their beauty and realism, contributing to an appealing visual experience. However, players have reported significant bugs and performance issues, particularly on certain systems, which can detract from the overall enjoyment. While the visuals are a strong point, the game's current state raises concerns about its stability and gameplay quality.
- “The graphics are great, and knowing what happened and how hard it is to switch engines, it is really a good game!”
- “Amazing graphics - really feels and looks realistic.”
- “Graphics are beautiful.”
- “Game frozen with lowest possible graphic settings on 'generating reef' screen (10+ mins)”
- “I don't usually dislike a game unless I've played it for an extensive amount of time, but when a game won't even load with the lowest possible graphics, there is an issue.”
- “Also, on Linux Proton, changing anything on the graphics menu freezes the game, although it applies upon restarting, so maybe not a huge issue.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the variety of sea animals and appealing graphics, but criticizing the mechanics as simplistic and sometimes frustrating. Issues such as hitbox inaccuracies and the eating mechanic need improvement, and while some find the gameplay refreshing, others feel it lacks depth and polish. As an early access title, there is hope for future updates to enhance the overall experience.
- “Tons of sea animals to play as, nice graphics, and simple gameplay.”
- “It utilizes mechanics that are a bit hard to get used to, but are refreshing and new.”
- “Great solution to the 'generating reef' problem; I hope to see more updates to improve the gameplay with new animals and activities. I love it!”
- “The only things I have to point out are that the hitbox needs readjusting, the eating mechanic needs a touch-up, and I'm not sure if this is a bug for me or not, but the whale shark does not surface to get oxygen; it breathes in the water.”
- “Not really much to it gameplay-wise.”
- “The attack mechanics are really tricky.”

The music in the game is described as fun, beautiful, and easy to listen to, creating a peaceful ambiance. However, some users express a desire for more control over the music and sound options to enhance the overall experience, especially if the game remains in its current experimental state.
- “Its fun, it's beautiful, and the music is easy to listen to.”
- “Peaceful music selection.”
- “Their songs feel like thunder on my lips.”
- “If this is going to stay as is, as an experiment and not have further development as a sim game, then I think it would be cool to have more 'stuff' on screen, a little less management of health/air/etc, and perhaps some additional options/control over the ambiance (music/sounds) to make it more conducive to just swimming around and justify spending more time in the game.”

The story aspect of the game presents an intriguing concept centered around island temples and the abyss, reminiscent of titles like Endless Ocean and Subnautica. Reviewers express optimism for its potential, suggesting that the addition of missions and character progression could enhance the narrative experience significantly. Overall, there is a sense of encouragement for further development to unlock the story's full potential.
- “I will say, it's an interesting concept to start a game, above all the island temples and the abyss feel like they have potential for something interesting if something living and/or missions are put there in a full game.”
- “I would give it some more time to develop because I think that it could be really awesome if we had some missions, progress levels, skills, etc. So far, I do recommend it.”
