  • Beautiful and varied underwater biomes with unique flora and fauna that provide a strong exploration appeal.
  • Free to play and shows a lot of passion and effort from the developer, especially impressive for a largely single-person project.
  • Gameplay and mechanics have similarities to Subnautica but also feature distinct elements such as a map and vehicles, with potential to become a compelling oceanic survival experience.
  • Severe performance and optimization issues causing very low frame rates, crashes, and unplayable gameplay on a wide range of hardware.
  • Lacking comprehensive tutorials and in-game guidance leading to confusion on gameplay objectives and mechanics.
  • Numerous bugs and glitches including UI problems, clipping issues, stuck or broken mechanics, and missing or incomplete features hurt the overall experience.
  • optimization

    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    10% positive mentions, 63% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions

    Optimization is currently poor, with many users experiencing low frame rates and stuttering even on mid to high-end hardware, particularly on AMD GPUs. While the game shows promise visually and conceptually, it requires significant performance improvements to be playable and enjoyable, especially on lower-end systems. Developers are reportedly working on updates to address these issues.

    • “A big update is planned to release soon and should fix a lot of the optimization problems. I'm excited to see where this game goes.”
    • “Stoked actually, the world looks and feels amazing, can't wait for a huge performance boost later.”
    • “I can see some potential that the game might get popular once the developers have started to put more content in it along with optimization.”
    • “Optimization is really bad, 24 fps with graphics settings bottomed out.”
    • “It looks like a promising Subnautica-like game, graphics are good by what it looks like, but the game is extremely unoptimized (especially in comparison to Subnautica). I tried playing this game at low settings with an RX 580 and an i3 10100f + 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, and failed to achieve 30 fps despite playing at the lowest settings. I even tried reducing the quality to 720p and still didn't reach 30 fps.”
    • “I have an RX6600XT, and my friend with an RTX3060 (a worse GPU) says it runs fine for him, so it's literally just horribly optimized for AMD.”

    The game features promising, visually appealing graphics with a distinct art style and varied biomes, but is severely hindered by poor optimization. Many users experience low and unstable frame rates even on high-end hardware, and call for more customizable graphics settings to improve performance and playability. Overall, while the visuals show potential, the current lack of optimization makes the game largely unplayable for many players.

    • “The game has a great art style, a promising premise for an unconvoluted story, and most importantly, it's got soul to it, as the 'passion' part of this passion project shows!”
    • “The visuals – Influxis is beautiful.”
    • “Visually it's a pretty game, with bright clean aesthetics and a varied palette.”
    • “It's the worst optimized game I have ever played; I get 25 fps on the lowest graphics settings with an RTX 4070 and an AMD Ryzen 7 5700x.”
    • “I can play most games at least 30-60 fps, and I run Subnautica at a solid 120 fps on max graphics, but this game makes my frame rate a solid 15-20 fps on low.”
    • “I give it a 2/10 because there are no settings to change the graphics, and it wasn't moving smoothly on my PC.”
  • gameplay

    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    14% positive mentions, 72% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    Gameplay shows promise with enjoyable crafting and exploration mechanics reminiscent of Subnautica, though some find it to be a less polished clone with occasional bugs and overly harsh survival elements like the energy mechanic. While food and oxygen are plentiful, the gameplay currently feels somewhat limited and in early development, making it best suited for players interested in witnessing ongoing improvements.

    • “The mechanics - this game shares a lot in common with Subnautica, which can only mean it has a lot of good in it.”
    • “There are some cons to the mechanics as well, but I liked the sampler device, crafting was fine, and though some people have described the hunger mechanic as 'punishing', it's not an issue as there's plenty to eat around even if you don't find any fish to cook.”
    • “Very fun game, has good graphics and good mechanics, not too much grinding, and good story and lore.”
    • “It's a super bad Subnautica clone with worse graphics and gameplay.”
    • “This might end up with half-assed mechanics replicated from Subnautica.”
    • “The gameplay is momentarily limited to exploration, but the atmosphere is soothing and it's a relaxing experience (until you inevitably face death from hunger).”
  • story

    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 60% neutral mentions, 15% negative mentions

    The story is generally seen as a basic or incomplete framework that provides some context but lacks depth and clear progression, especially in early versions. While it shows promise with an intriguing premise and potential for development, many players feel it currently falls short in delivering a compelling narrative compared to similar games like Subnautica. Overall, the story has room to grow and could benefit from more clarity and integration with gameplay.

    • “The story is that your protagonist, Andrew, once was part of the Genesis ship's crew.”
    • “I played during the 0.1 beta release, and at this time there is a barebones start of a story line, a surprising amount of biomes and creatures to discover, and vehicles that really boost your exploration range.”
    • “This game has a very good beginning and I like the story that it has to tell even though I only played it for a while.”
    • “However, Below Zero's story was just too much and detracted from the main purpose of the game: exploring an alien ecosystem.”
    • “Considering how big the world is, it feels very empty without any proper story, and there's no way to tell if you're progressing through the game except in the realm of crafting new materials.”
    • “None of this is made clear at all in the story.”
  • music

    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The music in the game is generally praised as fantastic and memorable, with some considering it one of the best soundtracks they've heard. However, there are concerns about volume balance, as the music can overpower voice lines and other in-game sounds. Overall, the soundtrack is a strong positive aspect, though audio mixing could be improved.

    • “So far visually, for an alpha, the game is stunning, I'm in love with the character models, and I also love the music.”
    • “The music was fantastic!”
    • “One of the greatest soundtracks I've ever heard.”
    • “Eve is a a little hard to hear over the music and ambiance, and the character's voice lines are even quieter than hers.”
    • “The default music volume is way louder than the rest of the game, especially the computer.”
    • “Add music, underwater sound, and some more animal sounds.”
  • stability

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is notably poor, with frequent bugs, crashes, long loading times, and severe freezing issues, sometimes requiring high-end hardware. Despite having enjoyable gameplay, users report numerous glitches, lag, and problematic controls that significantly impact the overall experience.

    • “Unfortunately, the game is kind of a mess and very buggy.”
    • “Now when I try to open the game, it freezes on the loading screen after the menu and will not bring up the game. I loved playing it and was excited to find another game like Subnautica, but it is disappointing that it won't work again. Hopefully this can be fixed soon.”
    • “After that, it goes to the loading screen where it appears to be loading and I can move my mouse, but after approximately 5 to 10 minutes, the whole computer freezes.”
  • atmosphere

Players find it relaxing and visually appealing, though some note areas for improvement in gameplay and control options. Overall, the atmosphere effectively creates a welcoming and distinctive experience.

    • “The biomes are beautiful as well as the creatures; they have been given so much effort, and it really adds to the atmosphere smoothly.”
