Ratings and reviews

okay. to fix the previous review..it's a great game. the gameplay is fun, but the story is really, REALLY short. and after you beat it there's nothing to do.. if there's any way possible to port truth quest with it that would increase the gameplay time by at least a couple hours and make it more playable after you finish the main story. it's really fun, but definitely not worth 10 dollars for the short amount of gameplay you get out of it

Completed it few days ago. It was a blast. Absolutely love the game. There two problems only, 1. Too many crashes (this is the first game I have played that crashed so many times), 2. Sometimes the game gets too dark even in the cutscenes. Is there a plan to also include the dlc (waiting eagerly here)

The game can sometimes become a RAMeater on Poco X5 Pro, the new update fixes most of the stuttering and crash issues. But I'm having trouble with saving the game progress, I remember that I exited the game when my shark was at level 22, but when I relaunched it, the shark was level 19 again, the game simply won't save my progress, and it's so frustrating. Edit: The game crashed again, every time the game tries to load a cutscene.
