Hi there, I am DragonExplosion and I am a Youtuber. If you like my videos, please leave a like and subscribe at my channel.

This was a really interesting horror game about 2 brothers on a treasure adventure, looking for treasure deep within the ocean. This was a really long and horrifying experience where the player plays as Zane, the man who has to enter the cage and head deep down into the ocean alone while surrounded by sharks. The entire process of flashing the shark, stopping the shark from biting the cage and getting enough oxygen was tedious yet stressful. It would be good if there was a checkpoint upon getting the laser gun as it is really exhausting to do the whole process again. The next parts of the game, requires a lot of effort and concentration on the player's part to execute where it took me a really long time to complete the game. (About 1h 30mins in total I believe) The story took a really great turn at the end of the game where I really enjoyed putting in all the strength that I had into fighting the brother. 

I am curious as to whether there is an ending where both brothers survive but this game was really interesting as it gives a complete picture of what is going on in the game and makes use of simple game mechanics to make the game much more difficult than it appears to be. The dark lighting in the deep ocean combined with the limited battery of the phone and the reduction in oxygen were really clever in creating stress and fear in the player that the main character may die at any moment. The other parts of the game, swimming upwards while avoiding the shark and swimming towards the boat while avoiding the shark were both really scary as they make use of dark lighting and concentration to make the player immersed into the amount of stress that the main character is facing. The fight with the brother took me a little more time due to the difficulty of the game in terms of multi-tasking (I was surprised that there was even a hardcore mode for the game). The best thing about the game for me, was definitely the amazing voice-acting by both brothers as it really helped in understanding the feelings of both brothers in different scenarios. The voice-acting for Dominic was outstanding for me as he really brought out the amount of hatred and pain that he felt throughout his treasure hunting journey with Zane. 

Some things that can be improved in the game for me, is the addition of the checkpoint that I mentioned just now and an easier difficulty for the game. Moreover, maybe give the main character some weird weapon or something as I don't really understand how the main character scared the aggressive shark away in the cage without any weapons.

Thank you for reading my comment and I wish you good luck in your future endeavours.

Thank you for taking the time to write all this. I totally agree with you Louis and Jake (The voice actors) did an excellent job doing the voices. I know that at this point there is no checkpoint is bummer (for you the players and for us as playtesters) I may added in future... No promises xP.
