DIVE or DIE - Children of Rain

Amazing climate, good lore and fun gameplay, kinda hard

I know it's a high stakes game, but it would more fun if you get the option to retry a dive. The game doesn't give you much time to figure out how things work. Most of the difficulty is from not knowing where to go next, or a tedious progression item is hidden somewhere tough. It's not fun wasting dives trying to pinpoint your next objective.

Excellente surprise, difficulté bien dosée.

I went in expecting a decent "lil" Lovecraftian roguelite with some colony management bolted on. What I got was something that quietly becomes greater than the sum of its handcrafted (with love) parts. The world-building is wonderful. It leans hard into the cosmic horror without ever feeling like it’s just name-dropping Mythos lore for atmosphere points - instead, it creates its own fantastic mythology with heavy nods Lovecraft. The writing and the voice acting blend seamlessly - adding to the immersion. Replayability is high in the way that matters. Runs feel distinct without relying on pure randomness for the sake of it, and the colony management loop actually gives you reasons to care about the long term instead of treating every death as a full reset. Aesthetically it’s both beautiful and (somehow?) charming, but more importantly the mood of the setting is pitch-perfect. Everything from the UI to the environments to the creature design feels like it belongs to the same carefully considered night terror. Individually the various components that make up this experience are strong; together they create something that feels cohesive and strangely addictive. Lots of fun in the purest sense — and, after all, isn't that what we're all here for?

Would say this game make a very good atmosphere and sound design, it make the game feel really immersive. The lore is also very interesting However It think the game should give more lore information with Old Jack, like I know what happened with all world but idk why we have to dive, to find what? and how did Old Jack know where the statue is, also who is he? And my other concern is idk if the game will have replayability since 1 play though is already 40+ time to drive in the same water, it might just be a speed run after the first play though, but if the dev mainly want the player to have the best experience in the first play though then I thought it work!

Great game. Perfect aesthetics and setting. Darkest Dungeon meets Don't Starve and Dave the Diver with an extra helping of Lovecraft! I really enjoy how punishing it is, but it can be hard at first. That will clear up rapidly if you pay attention and use your skill points in a balanced way, so don't let it turn you away from the game. I think starting on Hard mode is a mistake for most players, so please consider playing on Normal unless you really want to suffer or if you choose to use a guide (which I don't). I can't wait to come back later and play on hard, but losing 10 days is the main reason I avoided it. I wish we could set custom difficulty and keep the harder debuffs but also start with 50 days. Either way, this game has made it to the top of my list of Lovecraftian games (second only to Barotrauma), and permadeth games as well. Whoever did the sound design also succeeded massively and deserves high praise! I really hope to see more from these devs in the future and think this game would be a great candidate for a more randomized roguelike mode with random maps and slightly modified mechanics/goals. Not now but down the line someday. Anyways, I'm way under halfway done with my playthrough so I'm gonna get back to it but I totally recommend the game if you like this sort of thing!

9/10 espero que metan mas biomas y mas criaturas

So far feels really nice
