Jan. 2025

Criminally short, but fascinating. The art direction and the soundtrack are top-notch.

Oct. 2024

A fun detective game, I like the overall story, and I love that your decisions have consequences. The main character is a stereotypical 'I'm a detective who is tormented by a cold case and I love cigarettes' which i wasn't the biggest fan of, at times the writing feels a bit edgy cringe, but I enjoyed the game overall

June 2024

This is an interesting game, I loved it but I do recommend it on a sale due to it's length. Dry Drowning is a sobering tale that nails the audio and visual art department. This is a cyberpunk/noir story that is deeply engaging and will leave you ponder about the story and decisions long after playing it. I will agree with one of the most helpful negative review on that there are no true "good" choices in this game, but I will disagree on how this makes the game bad, it's quite the opposite. Every choice you make in this game will have visible consequences. There are a few rippling decisions in this game that will completely change character arcs and thus fleshing them out like no other story based games when you've seen all the outcomes. Once again this is a intense but short game, but it does go on sale quite often.
