    The game's story is a blend of historical exploration and immersive narrative, focusing on the Titanic wreck and ocean archaeology. While some players appreciate the engaging voice acting and educational elements, including survivor interviews, others find the story lacking in excitement and depth, with criticisms of certain gameplay aspects feeling disrespectful. Overall, the experience is described as immersive and educational, with potential for future content to enhance the narrative further.

    • “It is a fantastic experience, even more so if you are a fan of the story behind the Titanic, with a unique opportunity to explore part of the wreck that, based on documentaries watched, is quite accurate.”
    • “The story works well to show you different parts of the ship and teach you about conserving the wreck and various projects that are taking place on it.”
    • “From the bottom of my heart, I'd like to thank IVR for bringing this story to life, for preserving the wreck site, and honoring the lives lost when the queen of the ocean went to her grave.”
    • “I personally did not really connect with the story, but occasional interviews of real survivors of the Titanic or simple descriptions of what life on the Titanic was like did manage to make me more aware and cultivated about the ship.”
    • “Instead, this game is really just a Titanic wreck exploring simulator with decent models and an okay story/goal. I did not find the exploration story very compelling to make me want to play it more.”
    • “The story felt a bit disrespectful with grave robbing (you roleplay the retrieval of several items) and uses the wreck as the set of a comedy (one dive involves following around another submarine led by an arrogant and short-tempered film director).”
  • graphics17 mentions

    The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some players noting issues like aliasing and low resolution, particularly in character models, while others praise the detailed recreation of the Titanic wreck and immersive environments. Although not cutting-edge, many appreciate the effort put into the visuals, especially in VR settings, and find the overall experience enjoyable despite some graphical shortcomings. Overall, while there is room for improvement, the graphics contribute positively to the game's atmosphere and exploration elements.

    • “Though it isn't necessarily graphically impressive, they put so much of their effort into recreating the wreck and allowing people to explore something they might never get to see in person.”
    • “I absolutely enjoyed the April 15th 1912 experience very much; it was done very well and the graphics are great.”
    • “The graphics are very good, particularly the wreck itself and the interior of the submersible.”
    • “Graphical aliasing is kind of present, even at maximum settings. It is not a very recent product, so that may be why. Textures are still great even up close though.”
    • “The graphics of the human characters still have a ways to go, but the overall experience is definitely worth it.”
    • “I admire the aspirations of the developers, but the graphics require significant refinement.”

    • “Pretty poor and very buggy.”
    • “Too buggy, I know it's because it's in early access, but I can't get past the objectives.”
  • music6 mentions

    The music in the game is generally praised for its atmospheric quality and ability to enhance the underwater experience, contributing to a calm and immersive environment.

  • gameplay3 mentions

    Gameplay offers extensive exploration of the Titanic wreck, allowing players to control a submersible and complete missions related to the ship's history. However, the mechanics for operating the submarine and rover are noted to be challenging and not very intuitive, which can detract from the overall experience. Additionally, a short virtual reality segment provides a unique perspective of the sinking.

    • “There are hours of gameplay where you explore the wreck and learn how to control the submersible. You get jobs to find out more about Titanic's passengers and past. You can explore the stern and the bow yourself, plus there is a short virtual reality movie where you are in lifeboat #6 to see Titanic sink.”
    • “The mechanics of the submarine and rover were difficult to interact with and not very intuitive, although in some respects, it was more visually interesting than the sinking experience.”

  • grinding3 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, as the slow movement and limited visibility while exploring the ship detract from the experience. The lack of a pre-sink exploration mode further frustrates users, making the educational intent feel laborious rather than engaging. Overall, the exploration is seen as monotonous, with flat characters and a passive viewing experience.

    • “Having to slowly swim around to every inch of the ship just to see it all is quite tedious and can take away from what I feel can be an awe-inspiring experience.”
    • “It does, however, lack a pre-sink Titanic exploration mode, and exploring the wreck can get tedious due to slow movement and little light.”
    • “I understand that this is meant to be an educational experience, but the process is very tedious, the characters are flat and boring, and you can't even explore the ship during its prime; you just sit there and watch a movie.”
  • replayability1 mentions
