_dive

A nice little ultra-minimalist horror piece that shows off some of what you can do with very little. Kind of like what you'd get if you combined Stanley Parable with Pony Island and then deleted it.

[h1]Aufgetaucht![/h1] „Wie fühlst du dich nach Beenden dieses Spiels?“ :) oder :(? „Mist, ich schaff es nicht den Knopf zu drücken!“ „Dann beschäftige dich lieber mit der realen Welt!“ So oder so ähnlich könnte man das Spielerlebnis dieses kleinen, experimentellen Spielchens zusammenfassen. Und tatsächlich, die psychologischen, sich oft wiederholenden, en detail sich aber unterscheidenden Fragen an uns, den Spieler in einer neuen VR-Welt, haben bei mir das Interesse geweckt, weiterzuspielen. Am Ende der ca. 30 Minuten kann ich _dive aber nicht empfehlen: Zu irrelevant das Ganze, zu plump die Auflösung, zu beschwerlich der Weg. Denn wie soll man sich um Antworten Gedanken machen, wenn man verzweifelt versucht, den richtigen Winkel zu erwischen, um überhaupt antworten zu können? Da investiert eure 2 € lieber in ein Psychologiebuch vom Flohmarkt!

[b] Friend sent me this game. [/b] Not much story wise, but still had my hairs standing on end. The atmosphere just progressivley gets more tense and sense a chill down your spine. Good use of minimal elements to be honest!

[u] _Dive[/u] is a progressive experience that demands you to logically use your eyes, ears and respond to a [i]test[/i] before being granted entry to a hypothetical VR experience. For those who [b]don't[/b] enjoy games like [i]The Stanley Parable[/i] you're better off avoiding this because it offers over 5 minutes+ of repetition before any serious changes start to happen [i]and by then anyone who is after a quick fix brain switchoff will have given up on this within those 5 minutes[/i] The controls and visuals are simplistic, either arrow keys or WASD to move alongside Left mouse or Spacebar/Return key for interactions while the graphics are an intense almost hospital-like whiteness in the early stages of the game with a shining white path to follow towards screens that feature a 2 buttoned console to make choices from. [u]There can be stages of motion blur especially as the game progresses so those who suffer motion sickness be wary[/u] The concept behind _Dive is of Awareness of the potential dangers of a VR world that, through daily use (much like regular MMORPGs do in say Elder Scrolls or myself in Mobius FF) becomes an accustomed habit that, with most daily activities, lead to a dependency. The Awareness message is when we surrender our daily social routines to a fictional AI driven world what becomes of us when say the AI becomes corrupted & our real world had already disintegrated into a lonely, anti-social, blind denial of what's really around us. The premise behind that is to be respected but with one drawback, escapism has happened for many decades now firstly through music, then TV and now the Gaming & VR advances that we see today. Anything is considered acceptable [i]in moderation[/i] but wherever you look escapism is never practised in moderation even those who watch TV!! What fell down for me throughout that Awareness message is that, throughout the game, it felt to me that this [i]test[/i] would've worked effectively as a twist showing the player as recovering from a head traumatic accident and the gradual progression was the player becoming coherent with what had happened. This, for me, would've added sense to the direction being taken through the stages of the test and the revelation would've made this a less bitter pill. Overall, I am genuinely uncertain if I can recommend this mostly due to the slow-burning repetition of the test before it starts to show more drastic alterations, the wide-reaching scope [b]escapism[/b] falls under making this a far-reaching phenomena NOT specific to the upcoming VR world [u]and[/u] the overused 'psychological' testing that could only ever have so many variations before it went from puzzling to extremely exaggerated making this limited to a one time playthrough. [i]That's not to say there won't be players who won't enjoy the heck out of this and for those players who enjoy a puzzling, psychological mystery please try this you probably will love it!![/i] ~~~Liked what you see?

이 게임을 통해서 알게 되는 것: * 가족의 소중함 (x) * 2,200원의 소중함 (o)

It's not a game, it's a piece of modern art. Problem is, it is a boring experience, the "wisdom" it tries to convey a banality, the "warning" it contains so obvious it's absurd. A complete waste of time. The "wisdom": Stopping to interact with people in favor of gaming will isolate you ... what an amazing revelation. Not. The "warning": Putting your life at the mercy of an untested technological system is a bad idea. In this game it might possibly be something as breathtaking as an AI that is developing consciousness and autonomy, but [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor]Occam's Razor[/url] says the main character simply experienced a bug or a hack in a brand new piece of software.
