Poseidon

so fresh out of unreal engine they forgot to remove the logo 💀💀

Poseidon, developed and published by Ghost_RUS Games, is a minimalist indie title that presents itself as a relaxed hidden-object adventure set in a mythological Greek-inspired environment. At its core, the game is about exploring a small island and its surrounding underwater world in search of thirty golden sharks that have gone missing. You play as a silent helper for Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, who enlists your assistance to recover these lost treasures. What follows is less of a game in the traditional sense and more of a meditative walk through a virtual space where the primary goal is simply to look, explore, and collect. The design of Poseidon is simple and accessible. There are no enemies, time limits, or complicated systems. Instead, you are free to roam the environment at your own pace, whether on land or beneath the waves. The mechanics are straightforward: you move around and interact with the environment only to find and collect the golden sharks scattered throughout the map. The game’s world is small but colorful, with stylized visuals that evoke an idealized vision of Ancient Greece, complete with classical architecture, statues, and serene coastal landscape…

No Reset button and no save. You can get stuck easily, In my 2nd playthrough I was doing ok with 8 sharks found and accidentally fell down a hole and there was no way out, no way to reset yourself if you get stuck. Oh if you press ESC (usually this pauses games) this resets the game and takes you back to the main menu so you have to start all over again. my 2nd play was stuffed as I couldnt get out of the tock hole I fell in. Couldn't jump out at all. Had to quit losing my progress, again. Not worth buying for the $1.70 they charge, not even worth on discount at 75c. The developer should be ashamed of themselves. If looks like a school project that was made in 15 minutes. The music... might as well mute it, it loops afte 30 seconds so its the same 1 track over and over. The developer needs to add a RESET Button and a save but they won't because its too much effort. Don't but this game. Give it a miss. 30 Sharks to collect, is harder than it looks, especially without a save function.
