The gameplay of this early access survival management game is engaging, with players appreciating the core mechanics and gameplay loop. However, there are some usability concerns, particularly regarding the need for mouse support for ship scrolling, as the current controls can feel cumbersome when using both mouse and keyboard. Overall, players are excited about the potential for future updates and additional content.
“Yes, it's still in early access, but I love the gameplay.”
“I got the hang of the core gameplay loop but have not discovered all current content. As it's an early access game, there will probably be a stream of updates and additional content.”
“The current core mechanics did not meet what this survival management game had to offer.”

The game's atmosphere is praised for its unique setting in a post-WWI, pre-WWII harbor, which effectively creates an immersive experience. However, some players noted that the lack of a collision detection system for ships detracts from the overall realism.
“I'm true and honest that the scenario (harbour) and time (after WW1, pre WW2) were a good choice, that drips atmosphere and is refreshingly new.”
“When it comes to atmosphere, there could be a collision detection system for ships, because they're driving through each other at the moment.”
