The game's story is a blend of historical exploration and immersive narrative, allowing players to engage with the Titanic's wreck while learning about ocean archaeology and the ship's tragic history. While some players found the storytelling compelling and appreciated the inclusion of survivor interviews, others felt it lacked excitement and depth, with certain elements feeling disrespectful or overly simplistic. Overall, the experience is enhanced by good voice acting and a modern storyline, but there is a desire for more content and refinement in the narrative delivery.
- “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).”

Overall, while the graphics may not be cutting-edge, the effort put into the game's atmosphere and historical accuracy is acknowledged by several reviewers.

- “All in all, the graphics are a huge disappointment at this stage.”

The gameplay offers extensive exploration of the Titanic wreck, allowing players to control a submersible and complete tasks related to the ship's history.

Additionally, a short virtual reality segment immerses players in the sinking of the Titanic from a lifeboat perspective.
- “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.”
- “Stern and before the sinking of the Titanic gameplay will be.”

grinding

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