Okay so I feel like I'm a good chuck of the way into the game and feel like talking about it. I was lured in by the description of it being a chill diving and sushi restaurant management game. However, it is so so so much more than that. I have to be honest, I almost think it is to much more, there are just systems added on, one after the other. Certain out-of-water area's seem less polished than others making me wonder if the developers bolted it on late in development?

Note, I did not follow early access, nor have looked into any sort of development history of the game. I wanted to go in blind to be surprised by it.

What are all your thoughts? Anyone else dive in (haha) blind like me, or have you been invested from the very start and know the road it's taken to get to 1.0? What do you think of the game at it's present state? The game locks a good amount of mechanics behind story, so try to be mindful of spoilers for folks as much as it's possible.

I've actually just started this myself and I I was actually a little worried there was too much going on at first. That however proved to be unfounded and I've been having a really good time with it.

I won't lie, I'm not in love with the sushi/management side of it, but I love the diving and fishing. The games got a really nice style to it too; some of the cutscenes are fantastic.

I did not play EA, and overall I am enjoying it. The issues I have are the random mechanics that are thrown in as one time things like chase scenes and a stealth sections. Those are plain not fun, and could have been something else entirely.

Potential spoilers for the main story ahead!

The portrayal of the Sea People seems very Chinese caricature at a few points. Plus the quests they give are kind of not fun. I could do without them altogether honestly.

As a Chinese person I actually think they're more Korean-inspired, not Chinese. And the devs are Korean, so it doesn't seem disrespectful.
