So I want to start by saying I have a PHOBIA of the ocean. I am an absolute nature freak, but open water, and large fish are a huge fear for me. I bought this game initially to help with exposing myself to the ocean through something I already loved, video games. I thought it be a fun way to face my fears, while also getting the adrenaline pumping as if playing a personalized horror game, thanks to my phobia

This game teaches you to persevere. I learned to be more resilient (in a small way) thanks to this awesome game and its story.

When I was taking deep breaths to keep myself calm while meeting these huge water beasts, or retrieving loot while diving deep into the unknown, or battling it out with a squid-shark...the normal boring human oceans, and their fish were like no adversity to me now. Not only is the game play loop of collecting resources, and identifying fish and fauna relaxing, and dynamic in a way I haven't seen or felt in a while, but it ACTUALLY helped me face my fears, and help me get over some of the things I was truly having a hard time with.

I genuinely, personally thank the developer and the team for creating something so beautiful, and melodic all in one. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please keep crafting your art!
