Deep Beyond

[i]Deep Beyond[/i] is a short and cozy first-person walking simulator about a young sea explorer in search of a mysterious, long-lost artifact. You take the role of Lilly, the daughter of a treasure hunter who went missing some years ago. The game starts as she's about to find the last artifact needed to pinpoint the location of the chalice that her father's expedition was searching for. However, she's not the only one looking for it and a series of unexpected events starts to occur as she gets closer to her objective. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3281106714 While walking simulators are known to be rather slow-paced, [i]Deep Beyond[/i] easily manages to keep you on your toes throughout the whole gameplay due to its excellent storytelling. The narrative is dynamic, there is always something new and unpredictable that happens. Several immersive cutscenes make the game look more like an interactive movie than anything else, topped with a great music score and well-placed sound effects that further enhance the experience. The game is fully voiced too, and the voice actors did a great job at portraying their characters. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3281106742 The game is not entirely a walking simulator. It also has several puzzles to solve. They are easy enough to figure out without any help, yet very fun. Additionally, several elements from the environment have flavor text when interacting with them, similar to a point & click adventure (although there is no inventory and no objects can be picked up for puzzles). The game also has nine Steam achievements, most of which are story-related. None of them are missable, as you can revisit any part of the story from the chapter selection menu, which will also allow you to quickly experience the three possible endings (by replaying only the last sequence). https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3281106779 [i]Deep Beyond[/i] doesn’t bring anything new to the genre, but it’s one of the more enjoyable walking simulators I’ve played. It’s a little gem with an artsy design and compelling narrative, the only downside being that it is very short.

海洋探検を通じ、失踪した父の謎を明らかにするウォーキングシミュレーター。クリアまで2時間程度。 ビジュアル、サウンドともに素敵で、なによりイヌと一緒に探索できるパートが良き。 まあ、海中では一人ですが……でもイヌはかわいいので……

Me ha gustado mucho Deep Beyond, de los argentinos AVIX Games. Una aventura narrativa de investigación que dura tan solo una horita (necesitamos más juegos cortos, por favor) y con una dirección de arte preciosa, elegante e inteligente.

Petit walking simulator court mais sympathique avec une belle DA. Un peu "rough on the edges" (quelques soucis de modèles etc..) mais au final bonne experience surtout pour le prix

For a walking simulator you can certainly get your fill out of this one. This short narrative by the sea, while limited in its choices and gameplay, certainly compensates in its artistic direction and voice acting for what it's worth. They certainly made each line feel much more convincing and set the tone for the story that would have otherwise suffered from both length and predictability. There's also praise to be given to the soundtrack and the puzzles considering that they weren't as mundane as expected them to be (while still being quite relaxing to solve). If none of that can convince the buyer let me tell you that you have a loyal dog and you can pet it. So as it is, for its price it does the job. No more, no less.

Un gioco interessate, poteva sicuramente offrire di più dal punto di vista del ritmo, ma comunque un gioco corto che vi terrà attenti più per la trama che per il gameplay, che potremmo non discostare troppo da un walking simulator. Lo stile artistico a tinte contrastanti su base di cell shading offre un impatto caratteristico alla produzione, ma come dicevamo, la trama svolge il ruolo principale e sarà capace di dipanarsi in circa un'ora, una trama che poteva essere anche un po' meno telefonata per alcuni e sorprendente per altri. Insomma, alti e bassi. Se vi ho messo un po' di curiosità vi lascio un video con il gameplay del gioco qui sotto https://youtu.be/VqUumuAu0NA

While I appreciate the effort put into this game, I don't have a compelling reason for anyone to play it. I didn't run into any bugs, and I enjoyed the graphics. That's it for the positives. The negatives - very linear gameplay, puzzles are very few, the story is not engaging at all, the voice acting sometimes was ok sometimes felt off, and the game is very short. It's a good start, if it's on of the first games in the developers catalog, an I hope they grow and succeed from here on.

https://youtu.be/2MWddhhMEuw A good walking simulator with some puzzle solving. Overall the art style, music, and some of the voice acting are all positives. The story is a little cliche, but overall solid. The game takes about an hour to beat, Overall if your looking for a relaxed experience with a decent story and some good puzzles, I would def pick it up. I have attached some gameplay footage above so you can get an idea if this is for you!

Très chouette jeu narratif!! La DA est très sympa, l'ambiance l'est également. Seul point négatif que je pourrais lui trouver est sa durée de vie, en effet j'ai l'habitude de faire des jeu assez courts mais là, j'étais tellement prise dans l'histoire que la fin est arrivée beaucoup, beaucoup trop vite... quel dommage!!!! (jeu finit en 1h20 environ)
