Jan. 2025
This is a really fun game. If tweaked a bit, it could become perfect. It needs a new ending. One that necessitates staying and upgrading. This is such a good game in the way that it really is the first of it's kind. Like The Last Spell or Battle Brothers. For awhile you couldn't find any game like it. In the case of the Last Spell that is still the case. This game needs a sequel or a spiritual successor. Horror Immersive Sim that has economy mechanics along with building/upgrades.

Great indie game. Well worth the price. Cozy base building, even with the limited options, fun to farm and fish and wash dishes. I wish the research table brought more to the game. Automation was fun, The Depths is a cool idea and I enjoyed exploring it. I wish late game had an option, through the research bench, to be able to leave a rudimentary trail of some kind, like breadcrumbs or something. Cool commentary on the illusion of freedom or whatever. End game parkour is cool and difficult, it's not too long or short, it's just right. Could use some polishing on the automation side of things, had lots of issues with the autocleaners causing the dishes to collide with each other and fall out of the conveyor system. Devs, for the love of God, please add achievements so I can justify spending hours washing dishes in a video game rather than cleaning my house in real life.

Honestly haven't actually played it. Saw a TikTok where a Dev was watching a stream, and there was a bug he noticed impacting gameplay and he went and fixed the bug on the spot. So I bought the game for that level of support alone. I will get around to playing it though.

It's a mixed bag. The survival horror and dishwashing are really well done; farming and fishing are poorly balanced, the platforming is absolute garbage.

As bizarre as it sounds, but it's not all about the dishes. It's certainly not about the mugs. There's a mystery to solve about your apparent enslaved situation and some tight time limits if you want to explore and wash the dishes. It reminds me of Arcade Paradise, where the video-arcade building to salve the numbness of washing underwear is replaced by a Backrooms-style set of mazes which contain many dishes to wash but also the answers to your questions. By far the best and funniest bit about this game is that it has crafting, base-building, farming and fishing which are all wonderfully addictive and completely irrelevant to solving the mystery, unless you want them to be relevant. The game itself will take a few hours, but you could spend days in here, if you so choose. Far off on the leftfield but really fun and somehow immersive and a very nice original piece of gaming. The one thing missing is, this is a game crying out for achievements!
