Pretty much every aspect of this game feels designed just right, which is impressive. The upgrade system makes you really want to keep upgrading, the sound design is spot on, and a lot of the visuals are very beautiful. I especially liked how the sky looked, and the shadow effect underwater. (I actually like how warped the shadow looks because that makes it feel more underwater-y). What I didn't like is how the flashlight looks when not deep underwater, it's slightly jarring with the dark halo around it. It's a very minor issue though since by the time you get the flashlight, you sped most of the time deeper underwater anyway. Overall, the experience of playing this game felt really immersive and fun. And I really loved that ending!! It was simple but kind of terrifying.
