I loved exploring, finding new things, and seeing more of the cavern. The style of the graphics was definitely interesting, but I almost wished they were a bit clearer to see what I was looking at. Though seeing that angler fish up close was pretty amazing regardless. The sound of the sub was pretty cute, too.
