Pros
- Amazing visuals
- Very good swimming and grab mechanics.
- Very immersive experience.
- A lot of influence from the movie The Abyss.
- Tense in some areas.
Cons
- Extremely short (40-60mins)
- Expanded version exists on PSVR, which has a few more elements/mechanics, and potentially longer. Disappointing that this version has not been updated.
- Grabbing objects and environment can be a bit finicky at times.
- Once you use an object it's no longer needed (for those that try to keep hold of items the whole game) as there is no inventory/management, only the glow sticks can be stored on arms.

I'm recommending this short experience as it is very enjoyable and has so much potential. I'm a big fan of the movie, The Abyss, and its clear that this game has a lot of influence from there.
I can imagine a VR game for that movie would have everything in this game and also include:
- Running through hallways in panic, closing shafts behind you to escape flooding water,
- Carrying out minor repairs to the rig/ship.
- Lots of elements from Frictional Game's Soma, like sea bed walking and exploring.
- Operating underwater tech.
- Interacting with the aliens/creatures in some way.
- More horror/suspense.
I'm supporting the Devs in the hopes that this dream comes true one day.

A neat diving experience with intuitive controls and light story elements. Don't worry about thalassophobia, its all enclosed/cave diving (except for a cutscene at the end). It's fun! Just wish it was longer.

Very nice, visually and mechanically, but 50 minutes of gameplay really disappointed me.

Decent implementation of swimming and VR mechanics. In terms of production value it does not feel cheap and low budget, exept it is very short. I had no issues with playing using Pico Neo 3 link.

short and sweet although wish there was more and probably never will be as this came out in 2019
