The Pale Deep

I couldn't make heads or tails of what to do in this game. The point of the game is to use the information you learn by failing repeatedly to figure out how to counter the entities on the planet and avoid them while taking pictures and descending further into the unknown. The tutorial itself gets you familiar enough with the controls of the vessel they're easy enough to learn. My issue with this was there was no consistent indication of anything happening before I died. While slowly going down, you stop and hear a tapping on the ship but you're never sure if it's an entity or just random noise due to the lack of feed back. (Sometimes creatures don't appear on the radar at all, this may be deliberate I'm really not sure) That's really the main issue over all with this game is that you get no feed back what so ever of anything and then you just sort of die. I do enjoy the idea of collecting information to figure out what each entity does but I die too quickly to be able to even consider what counter measure works for what entity, I've had instances where i've deployed decoys, honked the horn and shut everything down and still died. I've had times where I've ran away after deplo…

Creative horror-ish game about diving into Neptune Unfortunately corporate doesn't wanna give us guns so we have to survive with a foghorn and some funky baloons Upgrades do exist but technically all that is needed is the knowledge of enemies' weaknesses to beat Death isn't just another jumpscare so if you dislike those you need not worry Duck Rating: 9/10

Played this game on my YouTube channel and it really grew on me. I didn't understand the gameplay at first, but the best way to sum it up is Iron Lung with randomized entities that can kill you. And FNAF-esque gameplay of being locked into a room and managing systems. You have to always be taking pictures of the outside, recording the audio going on around you, and keeping an eye on your radar. Once you've detected an entity with those things, its up to you to figure out how to combat/avoid it. And what each entity is defeated by randomized every time you hit New Game. So its like solving a puzzle that you can reshuffle every time. I can heartily recommend people give this game a shot. ESPECIALLY fans of Iron Lung and the original FNAF games.

Love this game and love this developer

Good minimalist game, expecting players to learn their enemies quickly and on their own due to the random nature of the solutions. Unexpected equipment failures tied to a progression system assists in building a strong feeling of learning and eventually succeeding in what originally felt impossible. I encountered some issues in the tutorial, but these were quickly fixed. Developer is active, helpful, and very nice. A hidden gem for those who favor games involving trial and error learning, heightened by its randomness and unique scenario.

Very confusing to try and figure out. It seems kind of cool but I notice things that I just don't know what i am meant to be doing with... I saw a blip on the radar for instance.. So I stop descending.. Press record on audio recorder, take a picture... Use the fog horn, Then I die... It says: Cause for implosion is blip on radar... Well ya.. I saw the blip... But the horn did nothing.. I really do not understand the game at all.. If those are my only tools available I really have no clue what I am meant to be doing .. Was not fun for me to play.
