Submerged

i actually played the second game first and really enjoyed it too no combat, no urgency, just pure exploration. sailing through the flooded city and climbing overgrown ruins and finding secrets feels peaceful but kinda eerie too. the story doesn't throw itself at you it just lets the world do the talking. building puzzles and collectibles make it even better, giving you that little extra reason to explore without feeling like a chore. visually it's pretty everything looks alive in its own quiet way. if you're into slow immersive exploration submerged is worth checking out.

Submerged is a relaxing open world game where you drive around in a boat exploring a flooded, over grown city. You dock and climb up buildings gathering collectibles around the world. The game is peaceful with no way to die. A good game to play when you just want to relax and unwind after a busy day.

Submerged is a short - 4ish hour - game, with a beautiful sound track, and nearly wordless story. Your character seems to be (as there isn't any time limit within the game) racing against the clock, to save her younger brother who is badly injured. Miku, has to scale buildings, searching for supplies to aid her in caring for her brother, with secrets along the way that hint toward what has happened, to the world around you.
The game involves no combat, but lots of climbing. With beautiful scenery, unique creatures - as I am not entirely sure if those are still the standard animals I thought they might be - and a sound track that both soothes and left me curious. If you enjoy games that leave most of the story (not all) to your interpretation, mixed with sailing around in a fishing boat and climbing decaying buildings, I definitely recommend Submerged for you.

chill and beautiful little exploration game, great music as well! Badly optimized though and with some unfortunate graphical glitches

Great game, really enjoyed this one. Very chill, non-violent gameplay; you can't die either. The city is so much fun to explore and buildings are great to climb. Loads of stuff to collect including these little pictures that tell the story of the city and people who lived there. As well as a separate set that tells your character's own story.

A nice story, simple puzzles, and 60 items to find
Don't expect any action, any combat, or else
Just enjoy a sunken city and the atmosphere

I bought this on sale, and found it to be a very interesting game. It's like you're interactively part of the storyline, although it's strictly a story-driven game, with no combat, just puzzles, and I found it very unique looking and feeling, with a perfect soundtrack that really sets the mood. Definitely a nice relaxing experience I'd recommend. Just watch out for the whales, LOL.
