hey here's my first impression after 20 min even tho I dint get far. i might do a better review once i finished the game,
i really like this i hope you keep working on it. for the sake of this review ill assume your still working on it
i like it, its sometimes rally scary, the first scare moments i had in my first 20 min was when i first came in contact with the big shark/fish creatures, i was just swimming randomly not suspecting a thing and when i looked behind me a giant fish was right on my tail, i think its moment like that which can push this game forward
there are some stuff that i think needs to be fixed in order to makes this a better experience, first off the first the first 5 mins aren't very interesting, i suggest maybe rebalancing some stuff like make it so you start off with more oxygen, also i read that you said that if a person is grinding for a long time there prop doing something wrong, so maybe i am just bad? but rebalancing some things like upgrades and value of items could be good too
then there the radar/ sonar that you can get for 50 bucks, i personally feel like it would be good if it had a timer that would make it go off every 5-10 sec or a key that you press to activate it cause i feel like sometimes it ruins the creepy vibe but maybe that just me
things i would like to be added
so the game in a way is scary and i like that, but i think it would also be cooler if lets say you where swimming randomly trough the ocean, and all of a sudden you hear a load sound, like a groan or something, this can give the player the idea that there a something bigger out there but is not sure of it, also adding more ambiance when it comes to sound could be good
