Under the Water Depths

Before you play this game, know that there isn't really any direction. You're just supposed to go into an abyss and search for stuff. In my short amount of time playing this prototype, I did not have fun. There is just so much blank space, and you're way too slow. Also, there is a flashlight mechanic which I never fully understood, so I ran of of battery and had to use sonar for like 10 minutes. In the end, I never even found the fish that attacks you as it was shown in the trailer, and will not be coming back to do so. FINAL RATING: 3.5 / 10

That wouldn't be so bad, but I spent about 10 minutes looking for the path ahead and gave up. After 300 meters, I still couldn't figure out which way to go. It's too dark; the flashlight is useless. Maybe they shouldn't have hidden the path so much; that would be nice. More free games: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45031235-Best-free-hidden-gems-and-unique-game/

"Under the Water Depths" is a student project self-published on Steam Direct. It's from Barcelona Institute of Technology in Spain. This is the result of an academic exercise for students. It's not a full, complete game in the way professionally developed products are. While it has more quality than most amateur games, it's not a complete gaming experience. Student projects have limited value for gamers because they're not fully developed games, just barely functional demos that show the students progress. Steam is not a place for for-profit colleges to dump student homework assignments... and having thousands of these is not good for gamers. The students made a rather poorly presented adventure game where you explore an ocean trench with a flashlight and a sonarr to warn you about critters coming to get you. The quality is abysmal, even for a student project. It's unpolished and feels incomplete. If you're looking for this kind of game, maybe try Abzu or Beyond Blue. In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D graphics which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high qu…

Besides the water trench I think that the light from going out is to turn it off. Note: Finding the way down is making me very nervous I tried to make it alive without getting attacked by angler fish. The reason that I'm having difficulty swimming in the ocean is wanting to prevent the fish from coming towards me. I still do not know how you reach the bottom in the game.
