This game has a cool concept, to me seems like a first person of DREDGE; another fishing game where strange things happen and you get random anomaly versions of certain fish. I thought this was a cool game from what I've seen on tiktok and decided to purchase it. I have a lot of issues. First of all, when I first started the game, I had to completely close it and reopen it because the water failed to load and I could just walk around on the bottom. The second time I reopened the game the water was acting really weirdly where your boat docks. From the size of the game and how low my frame rate dropped, I could tell this was poorly optimised. The mechanic for the fishing spear is irritable, you can barely fish in the drivers seat of the boat as the spear gets caught in the frame of your boat where it shouldn't and the boat turning mechanics make it feel as if it is a cheap mobile game. Yes the designs are cool in the game I will give them that however once you load in you don't really get much help and I for one had no idea what to do after talking to that stranger on the island. Summary: Cool concept, yet is poorly optimised, makes your PC laggy/overheat, barely any useful tutorial and seems like a cheap mobile game - probably not worth the £8 I spent on it.
