Very spooky, tense and creative little game! Great sound design and attention to detail, with a fun gameplay loop. Horror is best when simple, and this game is a prime example of that principle. Wonderful stuff!5 found this helpful
This game was fun. Creepy and scary. I am really bad with horror games but I love the genre and this one made me scream with the jump scares.2 found this helpful

the monster just camps the main hall and you're forced to wait doing nothing for minutes until it hopefully leaves. good idea, bad execution
"Ocean's Venus" is a short GameMaker Studio tech demo that presents the gamer with some point and click adventuring through static screens. The venue: A cargo ship built in the 1950's with electronic touchpads and computers, so you know, I guess the developer learned all they know about the 1950's from any era other than the 1950's. It's a "horror" themed game, and the horror is knowing someone out there genuinely thought it would be okay to spend $100 to publish this on Steam Direct. What do you do in the game? Point and clicking, a couple of mini puzzles like a little ripoff of Pipe Dream. This comes across as something unambitious and "simple" in terms of implementation and technical quality and depth, more like a game dev tutorial or an experiment. It's a classic case of a developer prioritizing the low effort needed to get a game listed on Steam over the actual delivery of a technically sound or compelling product. Whatever is needed to hammer out something "good" enough for Steam Direct self-publishing. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars…
