  I wanted to like this game but man there was just so much jank and bugs I literally couldn't move the mouse when I first loaded up a new game and had to exit out completely to get it working, the game was softlocked during certain segments and I had to reload from the main menu, interaction was bugged at times and would not let me exit out of certain journal notes, and the list goes on. The story had an interesting premise but was buried under the bugs, and the other redeeming quality I would say is that the game looks decent for an indie horror game, and I sure am glad I didn't pay 20 or 30 dollars for it. For the price, it's not terrible. But mixed reviews seems about right.

  I cannot in good faith recommend this game in its current form. I was excited to try it based on the concept, but right now it's very broken. I'm not sure how it reached the "release" state in its current form. The player character has a tendency to "climb up" angled things you run toward, leading to a sequence break at an early object that causes a softlock. I managed to get past that with several painful reloads, only to be confronted 30 minutes in with an enemy I cannot bypass or defeat. I'm an experienced horror game fan, so it's not like I can't figure out basic move/hide/interact controls. The answer to this puzzle either doesn't exist, glitched out, or is so obtuse that I can't find it after ~10 tries. Maybe if they put some more polish in this will be worth trying, as the settting and atmosphere are interesting, but this should not have been considered for a release candidate.

Most doors look "openable" but are not, which makes the game a bit frustrating and confusing. Finding keys is one of the more annoying parts of the game. Id give this game a 7/10 overall (day 1)

  https://youtu.be/kRmB-5euavU This game is pretty spendy for what you receive and although I enjoyed the game it was just not polished enough to deserve a 17$ price tag.The main menu and pause menu screens seemed like they are half finished or at least hastily done and there are quite a few bugs throughout the game. The whole game takes about 1:30-2 hours to beat. There are several objects in the game that you can clip into or out of, such as standing in the vents will allow you to clip through them and look around the map or pressing crouch too close to several different objects will allow you to walk inside of them. A few times I found myself walking up objects as I was walking past them. Storyline and sound design as well as lighting was spectacular and very well done. There were no annoyingly strange background sounds and the few jump scares were not too terrible with their volume spikes. I was happy to see that you did not NEED the matches to progress through the game like some horror where if you run out of batteries you are unable to see anything at all. I also have to say the RGB effects on the keyboard was a nice touch too. Gameplay was nothing new or exciting and I think removing some of the doors might make the game better, having to walk to or run into 30 doors before you can find the one that opens does tend to get old fast. Hiding from enemies and waiting till the past gets boring too but there were only a few times I can recall where you had to actually do it. I did enjoy the game for the visuals and storyline but the lack of gameplay and unpolished states doesn't justify the 17$ price tag.

  [h1] WARNING: SPOILERS ARE IN THIS REVIEW, DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU DON'T MIND BEING SPOILED![/h1] It's not everyday a horror game introduces fresh new concepts. FAITH had rotoscoping cutscenes and a use of a old voice synthesizer from the 80s. Dread X brings indie devs together to make an anthology of different stories. FNAF used a simple engine and the uncanny valley to birth a media Empire! But in the middle of all these different indie games, comes one I discovered from my usual place, Alpha Beta Gaming. For most of the year he's posted the occasional video showcasing this game, a unique blend of WWI, Survivor's Guilt, and a real time sinking ship to contend with, alongside an intimidating monster. When I found out the game was coming out today, I was thrilled and happily bought it! Ready to get a unique game never really seen before. I was expecting a good story, some good scares, and a unique experience. What I got was kinda 50/50 as I shall explain now. First off the premise, it's 1917, and WWI is raging in Europe and life in the trenches is hell for those experienced in it, like the character you play as, Alexander Doktor (I have no idea why the last name). You wake up seemingly abandoned by your fellow soldiers, and have to make your way from the ship's bowels to the upper decks for escape! All while dealing with horrific images of guilt and potential paranormal shenanigan's. Gameplay in Under is fairly simple, push against doors to open them, look for keys/matches to see/open certain doors that are locked. As you find out soon enough though, you're being chased by some kind of monster, The walking corpse of a Lt Davis, and if that isn't bad enough, occasionally water will start flooding and rising in the section you're in and you have to figure out how to progress before you end up drowning. However don't be mistaken, the flooding isn't consistent, you're not dealing with a sinking ship the whole game. Only when the mechanics decides you've progressed to a point where the water will start to flood your area between loading screens of chapters, and while the water can be anxiety inducing when you're trying to find an item or a way to progress, it rises fairly slowly for a sinking ship so you'll only die to it if you bumble around. In at least one of these sections, you'll have to deal with Davis AND the water rising while the power goes out and trying to find the way out. There's another section like it where the water isn't there but it's more or less the same thing. During two of these sections oddly enough I was given a gun, which was useless the first time as I'd sooner ran under a bed in the dark and wait for the power to kick in than dare try to fight the 6 '9 GIANT of a Scottish Corpse. Speaking of said Corpse, I do love how they handle it, he is literally a FREAKING GIANT, and in the moments when he's knocking at a door and cursing you from the other side, it's quite tense when you hear his clip clop noise and whistling while he looks for you in the darkness. There's even a great moment where you're waiting for an elevator and he just WALKS slowly to you, and it's TERRIFYING! He's great! What's NOT so great is the matches and the lighting. When the lighting is there it's good, but when it's dark, IT IS DARK, and the whole using of matches is both finicky and finite as once you waste them, they're gone until you can find more somewhere else. I had a bad moment in the boiler room where I ended up lost in the PITCH BLACK abyss following candles, not sure what I did wrong until I finally realized I had to open a pine coffin that honestly did not look like a coffin at first in the darkness; turning up the brightness won't help you. Also the gun you get is kinda useless, I never tried to use it on Davis because I wasn't gonna gamble that, and otherwise I misfired it a bunch because I thought clicking opens doors. The second time is used to shoot locks off which is more useful, but still pointless as between those levels the gun just dissapears. The one thankful thing is no matter how you die there is a pretty forgiving checkpoint system, and you get actually useful tips depending on how you died, like if you died drowning, it hints that under the water might be like a vent to escape or something, with the only frustration is not being told of certain things like pushing a bed against a door while it's being knocked down until AFTER I get grabbed by the ghoulie. Atmosphere wise, this game does it pretty well, The music, the ambiance, the sounds of the water rushing in, the voice acting, it's not bad at all. The lore given is straight forward and fine in it's mystery. Is Davis just a project of a "Second Life" project gone wrong? Or is it a corpse possessed by the Scottish incarnation of Satan, "Black Donald"? The answers though...well... I bet you're thinking, "Martin this sounds like a pretty decent horror game? A bit chunky because it's indie, but still unique. You got good sound design, running down cramped halls while the cold Atlantic seeps into the ship's corridors and you're being hunted down. Why the thumbs down? Why don't you recommend this game?" Because my dear reader, the game just ends. I'm not kidding. You get to B deck, thinking you're about to continue onward, until suddenly, you're taken to 1937 as some old man, interviewed by someone in some kind of hospital I think? And you're being told it was all just nonsense and you were just dealing with PTSD. No Black Donald, no creepy corpse. Just a sinking ship and madness. You don't get to look around B or A deck, or get to actually escape or watch the ship sink, or see Black Donald cursing you. It just stops and says "thank you for enjoying the darkride, get off now." This is why I am not recommending this game dear reader, and why once this is posted, I shall refund my copy. All those months of build up and with such a unique story, and they just don't do Act III for some reason? Did they run out of money? Did they not care? I pray they aren't going to try to ham fist it in an update while going "OH SORRY WE FORGOT THE PROPER ENDING!", this isn't a EA game. I'm kind of assuming there's a "true ending" from finding all 10 slides for a "memento reel" of some sorts. But honestly screw that, I could barely find matches and keys at certain points, ain't no way I'm going to do a second run through just to find some slides. Plus it might just be some behind the scenes stuff and not a real ending. So in conclusion, everything before the ending is pretty good. chunky, but good. But this ending, the reason I labeled this review as spoilers, is so you dear reader can avoid being as horrifically disappoints as I was, to the point where I vocally went aloud, "Oh god no, this can't be how it ends, it was really getting good, What the F**k?". If you can get it on sale for cheaper than the $13 as of this review, or the ridiculous $17 they're asking for a game with a cop out of an ending, then I'd say this game is really good for it's first and second act, just don't expect a third act. And as a personal note to the devs, maybe settle for a slideshow of pictures of you escaping the ship? It would be just as cheap, but it would at least BE more of an ending than what I got here.

  I wanted to like this game. I wanted to like it so badly. But every time it started gaining momentum, game breaking bugs plagued my experience such as falling through the map, progress checkpoints regressing to the previous checkpoint multiple times, items glitching out etc etc. The game looks great, and has a great deal of horrifying moments, I'll give it that. The average gamer would uninstall this game before powering through all the bugs like I did.

  [h1] Pros [/h1] This game is worth the ten dollar purchase, and is honestly a ten dollar experience so the pricing is just right, but with that being said, this game is worth the purchase. For it to be a twenty dollar purchase the playtime would need to be longer with the same feeling that the ten dollar game creates. The main atmosphere for this game can be described as: Claustrophobic sinking ship that watches you. And it is executed pretty well simply because the flooding water adds a sense of urgency which freaks the player out, then add the cramped environments with monsters and you have a pretty good formula. The story for this game is also ok, and would be pretty cool if it were expanded upon in another installment, probably in another war era, maybe WWII. That being said, the historical accuracies were accurate, in terms of ship cartography. [h1] Cons [/h1] Now, like most of these reviews here the most common issue I see amongst them would be the bugs that are present in the game, however during, my playthrough I experienced hardly any bugs that did not break my immersion or my ability to finish this game. However, what I will point out would be the clunky ass movement. The player can simply spam control and instead of a fluid crouching movement, they simply teleport down onto their feet, which is weird. Another Con to present would be the lack of a challenge, it would be more like trial and error. The most noteable instance of trial and error would be during the part of the game where the player needs to progress through rooms while the looming threat of the room being instantly flooded. The time allotted is rather small, so its just a constant dying cycle until the player finds out the correct path. The lack of challenge part stems from how easy it is to hide from the enemies, along with the puzzles that require little brain power. [h1] Summary [/h1] Under: Depths of Fear is a good atmospheric horror game, not really a survival horror as it claims to be. However, it will stress you out as you frantically sprint through rooms trying to escape the flood, while also worrying about the other threats that lurk throughout the ship. 7 / 10

  worth it for the story. the gameplay's a little janky but I really don't know what people expected from a linear indie game
