✦ AI summary
Depths of Darkness is a brief 30-minute exploration game that feels like developer practice work, offering simple key-finding progression through an underground facility with minimal story context. While some players find it an acceptable short experience with moments of unintentional humor, the game suffers from technical issues including broken achievements and progression bugs, combined with an abrupt ending that leaves players wanting more substance from the narrative.
Depths of Darkness Is a very short game, and based on completing the game two times, it gives me the feeling that this is a learning case from the developer's side. There's not any backstory being presented, you are just thrown into the game and puzzling together everything step-by-step as you progress in the game. We get to play as an agent that investigates a pretty large facility. Mainly, we are navigating around a big underground structure and most of the time, looking for keys to open doors. Not in a "puzzly manor", more so in a linear way, you will see a door, and relatively close by, there will be a key. Essentially, we are given a task by the deep state government, and we will receive subtle instructions as for what to do. This information is presented in a little bit of a confusing manner, but after small amounts of trial and error, I found out what the message wanted me to do. Our task is to locate and recover a specific material, and hand it back to the deep state government. Along the way, you encounter predatory animals and a small selection of different creatures. Some of them are hostile towards you, others are jumpscares. Most of them are there to stop you in you…4 found this helpful
It's ok. Ending left me craving a little more out of it. Achievements don't unlock. Length is roughly thirty minutes (had to restart due to a bug where I had to kill people before I could advance). I don't know what more to say. I don[t want to say yes I recomend, but I also can't say no. Literal middle ground here. Best I can tell you is wait for a sale if you want a quick experience that will cause some unintentional laughter.2 found this helpful
