It takes some time to get into the flow of the controls. Once that's out of the way the game is very meditative and relaxing. It's not fast or flashy.

Also the music at the base is atmospheric af. It reminds me of the map on the Normandy in Mass Effect

I enjoyed playing the game, it has an interesting format and intriguing plot. At times it was slow, and I had a hard time figuring out where to look for things. Also I am very motivated by achievements and there are none for this game so I would get slightly unmotivated when I got stuck/confused lol. Overall pretty cool though!

Overall good. An unfair description would be "minimalist walking simulator Subnautica". 3 out of 5 as a game. 4 out of 5 as a concept.

I did not enjoy the first 30 minutes of the game at all (scan, move, scan, repeat) but eventually I got into the mood of it, taking one "dive" each day, spacing out the story. It felt like some aspects (the prelude to the ending and the collection mechanic) had undergone some revision during development, but the narrative was well thought out.
