The story was simple, of course, but I did like the changes in the atmosphere as it went along.

Unless my game bugged out not a lot happened down there in the dark but I conjured up all sorts of scary expectations in my mind as I had to wait and see. I didn't have a VR headset unfortunately but I did have headphones and it felt pretty amazing to hear the stuff moving around you when the submarine broke down.\n\nAs has been said already at least something to see would've been nice but given that you were doing a VR game and in a new engine no less, it's quite amazing what you were able to achieve! Just a bit of jank where it was hard to activate some of the controls in the sub (but I imagine it's better in VR), and it wasn't really clear why I was able to keep flicking the light switches but not the radio.\n\nOverall definitely on to something here and what was there was very atmospheric and cool!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1158041,"author_name":"Stephen Kyranakis","author_uid":"stephen-kyranakis","epoch":1745620894,"text":"@loiclegrosfrere Sorry, I played it on a regular computer.
