I thought to myself, “What could possibly go wrong?” I have thalassophobia, but I’m locked inside a cage, so I should be perfectly safe, right? RIGHT?
Yeah, nope. I was definitely not fine...
Duodol Games did an excellent job capturing the fear of the deep and making the experience feel genuinely immersive. Whenever a thalassophobia game gets me this badly, I always take it as a sign that the developer absolutely cooked.
The atmosphere, tension, and sense of being surrounded by deep water really got to me. My phobia was definitely triggered throughout the experience.
I’d give this game an 8.7 out of 10 Artifacts!
