Very positive overall, though the short playtime and compressed narrative progression are repeatedly criticized. · 82/100

305 total reviews · 82% positive

Best for It is well suited to players who prefer short, atmosphere- and story-driven indie horror adventures, fans of Lovecraft and submarine disaster fiction, and players who want to repeatedly explore multiple choice-based endings. Conversely, players expecting a long campaign, deep character development, high difficulty, and complex simulation may be less satisfied.

Strengths

A gloomy, highly immersive Lovecraftian atmosphere and soundtrack
A distinctive core gameplay loop combining crew assignment, mission prioritization, and submarine management
A structure in which choices affect the actual progression and endings

Weaknesses

The playtime is excessively short at around 3–5 hours
The story ends before players can become sufficiently invested in the characters and crew
The five-day limit makes it difficult to experience all the essential story content, upgrades, and systems
