The game offers a unique opportunity to explore the Titanic wreck using highly detailed scans, making it an incredible experience for enthusiasts and researchers alike.
The immersive simulation allows players to pilot an ROV around the wreck, providing a sense of realism and engagement that is both educational and captivating.
Future updates promise to enhance the experience with additional sections of the wreck, higher resolution scans, and improved gameplay features, indicating strong developer support.

Currently, the game lacks meaningful content and features, with only a limited area to explore and basic missions that may not engage players for long.
Technical issues such as low resolution graphics, visible holes in the wreck model, and limited control options detract from the overall experience.
The absence of customizable settings, such as full-screen mode and advanced graphics options, limits player flexibility and enjoyment.

The graphics in the game are praised for their stunning realism, particularly in the recreation of the Titanic's iconic bow and debris field. However, players express frustration over the limited graphical options, with only medium, high, and ultra settings available, and a desire for more flexibility, such as customizable resolution and detailed model settings. Overall, while the visuals are impressive, the lack of comprehensive graphical controls detracts from the experience.
- “The graphics are stunning, with a highly realistic recreation of the Titanic’s iconic bow and debris field.”
- “For example, graphic settings or controls adjustment.”
- “Another issue is the lack of any real graphical options; you just have medium, high, and ultra.”
- “I would like better graphics as I have seen the scans that were done for the Titanic many times.”
- “Lastly, I think there should be an option to change the screen resolution. I've had this issue where the game is not in full screen. I'm unsure if this is for others too, but I think it would help to be able to change your resolution, and in general, more flexibility in graphics for model detail, effects, etc.”

The story aspect of the game is centered around the immersive experience of piloting a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to explore and uncover the wreck of the Titanic, allowing players to piece together its history through missions that involve scanning key features. While the narrative is engaging, some players feel that the limited scope and repetitive nature of the missions could benefit from improved scan quality and a broader range of discoveries to enhance intimacy and depth in storytelling. Overall, the game effectively educates players about the Titanic's story while providing a unique exploration experience.
- “It makes you feel like you are truly the one down there miles down in the ocean discovering parts of the wreck and getting to piece the story together yourself.”
- “This will help many others through education of her story!”
- “It's small and only contains a short tutorial and mission to scan a few key items on the wreck.”
- “If the scan quality was to be increased, missions could become more intimate instead of tasking players to find the same large items any Titanic buff would have seen before (the anchor, grand staircase, lifeboat davit, etc.).”
- “It makes you feel like you are truly the one down there miles down in the ocean discovering parts of the story and getting to piece it together yourself.”

The gameplay is described as relaxing and educational, primarily involving scanning elements with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). However, it is perceived as limited and not fitting the traditional definition of a game, with only a brief segment of interactive gameplay. Additionally, a photo mode is suggested to enhance the experience by allowing players to capture stunning screenshots.
- “Or a 'photo mode' to get amazing screenshots during gameplay without being limited to your ROV.”
- “I wouldn't really call it a 'game' in the traditional sense; about 10 minutes of gameplay elements were added in which you simply scan stuff in an ROV, but it feels more like an opportunity to see the scans.”
- “The gameplay is relaxing and educational, but it feels quite limited.”

The emotional aspect of the game resonates strongly with players who have a deep connection to the ship's history, as its degradation evokes a sense of loss and nostalgia. This emotional challenge is counterbalanced by the value of the platform's documentation efforts, highlighting the importance of preserving history despite the model's visual shortcomings.
- “While emotionally challenging for those deeply connected to the ship's history, this degradation makes the platform's documentation efforts all the more valuable.”
