The interactive things were obvious, which is really great in a game where there are a few stations. I liked the different controls. The power wheel was felt really good when it spun quickly. Watching the water sink as I pumped was pretty satisfying. They're all simple, but different and it was pretty fun to move from station to station.\n\nMy first run through, I think I missed the treasure and was lost in the deep ocean. I couldn't find my way back. Realism maybe? The second run, I closely followed the map. It was much better.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1132709,"author_name":"atsh","author_uid":"atsh","epoch":1744135047,"text":"The graphics were clean and nice, and I like the static camera positioning and interactive elements\n\nI'm not sure the game is for me, as I lost twice - probably due to water filling the submarine, not sure.

The variety of things to micromanage and the different ways of interacting with everything was very impressive, but I could not for the life of my get a good workflow going.
