I played Thalassophobia by The Falling Dream! Thalassophobia is a short, simple little game about exploring the depths of the ocean using a hex grid to mark out what you find!
Through the game you fill 4 tracks, Pressure, Dread, Oxygen, and Data. If you hit 10 on data, you win! If you hit 10 on any of the others, something terrible has happened and it's the end of the line for you.
In order to fill these tracks you roll 1d6, and you might see a wonder, a fish, nothing at all, or your oxygen might be in trouble. For wonders, you get an additional chart to roll to see what you see, and for fish, you roll for each of the body parts and record what kind of creature you encounter.
For every day you also plot along where on the hex chart you end up, and should you acquire all the data you need, you need to make it back to your starting point.
I played for 31 days, mostly seeing empty sea floor, but came across one huge fantastical creature!
