The story aspect of the game, centered around the Titanic, captivates fans of the historical event with its immersive environment and role-playing elements.

While the graphics and updates are appreciated, the shortness of the story and repetitive gameplay in modes like "explore the Titanic" leave some players wanting more depth and engagement.

“It's very enjoyable if you love the story of the Titanic.”
“Honestly, for the price, and the fact that they're still updating it, if you're interested in the story of the Titanic, this is worth checking out.”
“I wasn't expecting a huge story and immense Unreal Engine 4 graphics, but I just expected a little more than what I actually got.”
“You have no goals, missions, or anything to do but just sit there.”
“The story is very short, but I managed to survive the sinking.”

The gameplay is simple and focused on exploration, allowing players to experience the Titanic or relive its fateful night, though it lacks depth and structured objectives. While updates have improved the overall experience, some users find the need to frequently restart the game to access the menu frustrating. Overall, the game offers a casual experience that may appeal to those interested in the setting rather than traditional gameplay mechanics.
“As far as gameplay, the developers have done a fantastic job of keeping the updates coming for this title and the current state of this game is very well done.”
“Gameplay is simple - explore the Titanic or live 'that' night.”
“My personal gameplay is taking pictures of the ship.”
“This is more of a point of convenience rather than something that affects gameplay, but I still feel it is worth mentioning because it was quite annoying having to quit to desktop and relaunch the game every time I just wanted to return to the menu.”
“Looking at multiplayer gameplay doesn't even make sense as there's nothing to do other than wander around and drown (whether or not you get on a lifeboat).”
“Again, not that much of a gameplay this game is, but I love it.”
