“I remember getting the call vividly. I was trying to finish up for the day, but a stack of paperwork was keeping me late. To be honest, I was also looking for reasons not to go home. My phone rang, I answered it, and the director of the institute was talking, albeit disjointedly, about something that had turned up in a recent survey of The Sirena Deep.”

The game was pretty fine. Just that, though. I don't wanna beat on it too hard because it's very clearly a passion project made by only one person who got their friends involved, so I'm not gonna criticize it too harshly. I liked the music and sound design, and the graphics were nice, but my main issue was the gameplay. The gameplay felt very slow and not in a good horror-gamey way. The game also wasn't scary in the slightest even though I'm pretty sure was trying to be. It's a cool little project but I could have done with some more interesting gameplay and a bit more consideration could have been put into the ""scares"". I wish the developer luck in the future!

Fun, short puzzle/horrorish game. Takes about an hour for a playthrough but if you want the full story, you need to find all the secrets and unlock a special playthrough that gives more lore bits.
I enjoyed the game, wandering around, figuring out the puzzles underwater was fun and satisfying to me.
Also it seems like it was made by one person, which is amazing-good job dude!

good game, great ambiance, interesting puzzle mechanics. the shaders do a fantastic job at looking like motion in water

Great short game (less than an hour). It reminds me of a bite size The Swapper. It's an exploration scifi horror platformer. Is there a sequel planned? cause I want one

the "on rails" style of gameplay was unexpected, and the horror theming could have been more present, but overall was a fun experience with simple puzzles and an interesting story. there could have been a little more direction in terms of what was wanted from you though. maybe i missed obvious signals, but i ended up backtracking needlessly a significant amount. an enjoyable experience, but i was not prepared to replay the entire game again for 100% achievements though

despite the tags, i wouldn't really call this a horror game--it's more like a puzzle platformer with extremely light horror elements. the experience is really about the atmosphere, which it very much achieves thanks to some excellent voice acting and visuals. the narrative tries its best to provide a sense of mystery, but it gets very convoluted very quickly, and eventually takes a backseat to what was clearly the game's main focus--the puzzles.
the puzzles are the best and worst part of this game. the main gimmick is really interesting, and the puzzle sections themselves are well-designed, but they're unfortunately hampered by the physics that come with the setting. everything feels painfully slow, and any satisfaction that might come with solving a section is immediately snuffed out by the realization that you now have to transport your newly-obtained box to the other side of the level at the speed of a dying snail. the grand majority of the game is spent doing this, and it wears out its welcome disappointingly quickly.
still, it's impressive how immersive an experience the devs were able to craft, especially within the constraints of its graphical style. if you have the patience for some occasional tedium, you'll probably still enjoy this.

A small but neat game. I love the map and the athmosphere. The voice acting is nice, too.
