Neat little game, it's fun. The narrative is rather cringy, but I enjoyed exploring the underwater levels and hunting the sea life. Recommended to get in a sale.

It's fun and its spooky. Wish there was more direction for story mode because I hit a dead end but still very fun to play. The water sounds make me so thirsty LOL.

AI trash, unclear objectives (at first), bad hit detection on your weapons, enemies can hit you while missing you. The game opens with a plea about "2 guys worked on this very hard." Doubt that.

For $3 on sale it’s definitely cheaper than trying to finish The Ocean Hunter (1998) in an arcade, also a good unique game and thank god it’s not a roguelike
