Moody, short atmospheric underwater game, February 5, 2025
Related reviews: less than 15 minutes

I like the atmosphere in this short Shufflecomp game a lot. There is a bunch of mysterious worldbuilding which is purposely vague, but it seems like some disaster has driven humanity (or a part of humanity) to flee to the depths of the ocean in order to survive.

You are one of these people, although you have experienced the surface. And you are in danger as the cables that connect you to your data sources begin to fail, and you have to explore.

I actually love the writing here and the neat use of variation in text placement. I also felt like the game had some significant choices early on. I was a little bummed to replay and realize it didn't matter, but for the first playthrough it felt really cool.

It kind of ends on a cliffhanger, but it also feels complete as an episode in the life of a unique being. Fun overall.
