Thalassophobia

I'ma be real, this game is pretty ♥♥♥♥. The menu and UI is scuffed and the controls are annoying. I couldn't figure out how to exit the pause menu without exiting the game and trying to click on any of the HUD UI elements moves the camera because the camera is linked to the mouse cursor. I got to the radio, didn't know what I was doing and genuinely couldn't be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to figure it out. This game really needs some work and is not ready for the steam store.

Ничего непонятно, очень интересно и абсолютно неиграбельно технически. Вторая новая игра, которую я начал, вообще закончилась СРАЗУ ПОСЛЕ ЗАГРУЗКИ. Просто сходу геймовер, чувак. Что это было вообще? За 10 минут игры уже наелся багов, в общем. Не советую, хоть идея и стилистика и крутые. Требуется срочное допиливание технической части.

I bought this to do a review of it for YT. Never before have I heard myself so depressed after a video. It isn't from the melancholy of Lovecraftian literature either. Gameplay: Aesthetically it reminds me of retro-indie games. Pretty good in that regard. However I'm not a fan of the GUI trying to move out of the way while I'm attempting to use it (infuriating to say the least). It took me about 15 minutes to learn the mechanics and I'm still not sure I have all of it with an hour of playing. I got the furnace once, but I've not seen it since and died soon after, considering the game doesn't teach you how to use it. I tend to succumb to sanity being exhausted, but it's impossible to keep my crew sufficiently saturated and not crazy. Frankly it's not fun for me to die and die again with little to no progress being made so I don't want to play it anymore. Known Glitches: -I noticed in the tutorial it says to click the bridge to open the map, I ended up having to click an area near it. Minor glitch but still worth some note. -I was able to spawn multiple turrets at once for the cost of one by selecting many before placing.

Я бы хотел поставить игре плюс, но не за что. Буквально не за что. Баг на баге, играть невозможно. В главном меню не работают "настройки". В первый раз начал новую игру и был просто тёмный экран. Во второй раз я нажал эскейп, у меня выскочила менюшка, которая закрылась, но её изображение продолжило висеть посередине экрана. Естественно, играть так невозможно. В общем, жду фиксов, надеюсь на то, что скоро смогу поиграть и оценить игру нормально. upd: сыграл ещё пару раз, контента фактически ноль, это просто сырая инди-игра. Крайне не рекомендую к покупке, сам делаю рефанд.

Игра хорошая и разработчик тож. Баги бывают,но не заебывают. На удивление, темноты немного

Laut Beschreibung ist Thalassophobia ein Spiel mit roguelike-Elementen und Survival. Naja, als ich dann noch was von Lovecraft gelesen habe, hab ich mich über den kostenlosen Key gefreut und wollte das Spiel nun entspannt spielen. [h3][b]Steuerung [/b] [/h3] WASD, glaub F funktioniert auch, die Maustasten, laut Ingamehinweis auch das Mausrad (hat aber bei mir nicht reagiert). Keine Ahnung, ob das Spiel einfach nur sehr heftig lädt oder die Steuerung nicht wirklich gut funktioniert, aber ich finde diese Steuerung katastrophal. [h3][b]Sound/Musik [/b] [/h3] Wäre klasse, das leise stellen zu können- mir ist unklar wie oft ich auf das Minus drücken muss im Menü bei der Lautstärkeoption. Hab einfach mein Headset leise gestellt. Ansonsten ist das schon in Ordnung, aber halt viel zu laut. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2691606739 [h3][b]Grafik [/b] [/h3] Uff.also man sieht ja auf den Screens und im Video des Spiels, dass man hier keine hochauflösende Grafik zu erwarten hat. Schrift ist gut zu erkennen, die Umgebung an sich auch. Grafik ist okay, ich gehe davon aus, dass jeder weiß der das Spiel spielt, was ihn grafisch erwartet. Sah so aus, als würden die einzelnen Charaktere ihre Gedanken gerne mitteilen und das fand ich recht gut. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2691606789 [h3][b]Story [/b] [/h3] Anscheinend sind wir im Jahr 1944 und auf der hohen See. Dort wählen wir Reiseziele aus, die wir ansteuern. Irgendwelche Monster sind auf einmal auf dem Schiff. [h3][b]Positiv: [/b] [/h3] + die Erklärungen beim Starten einer Spielrunde sind durchaus hilfreiche Hinweise + Tutorialhinweise bei Spielstart [h3][b]Negativ: [/b] [/h3] Eigentlich sonst alles, was nicht positiv ist. Ich frage mich bei so manchen Spielen, wieso manche Spiele veröffentlicht werden. Dieses ist eines davon. Lieber noch daran arbeiten und dann Keys verschenken zum Testen und eine Chance auf eine gute Wertung haben, als das hier. Also: direkt zu Beginn Rechtschreibfehler im Spiel (Bridge ist nun nicht kompliziert) Das Menü scheint irgendwie nicht so wirklich so zu funktionieren wie es sollte Im Spiel auch nicht – hatte z.B. irgendwie ein Menü-Overlay über der Karte und irgendwie konnte ich auch nicht viel auswählen/ machen – anklicken, hin und her laufen ging, aber das wars. Welche Sprachen ingame zur Auswahl stehen oder Optionen kann ich auch nicht sagen, dazu hätte ich das fehlerfrei aufrufen können müssen. Hab das Spiel über Taskmanager erstmal schließen müssen, nachdem ich Optionen versucht habe zu nutzen. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2691606829 Das Spielen selbst hat kein Spaß gemacht, da ich durchgehend das Gefühl hatte, dass irgendwie nichts so wirklich funktioniert. [h3][b]Fazit: [/b] [/h3] Thalassophobia ist meiner Meinung nach ein Desaster und nicht spielbar. 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑⠀⠀⠀[list][*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow Main group [/url][*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40282064/] Follow Second group [/url] [*][url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/hoi4deu/discussions/115/] Weitere Rezensionen von mir[/url] [/list]

[/th] [/tr] [/table] [h1]Thalassophobia[/h1] A game that borrows inspiration from the roguelike and survival genre alike and puts you in an instant fight for survival against mysterious creatures, starvation, insanity and more. Be prepared to fail over and over again while you keep learning how to keep a good balance of yours crews needs and safety. Thalassophobia is a game that has potential to be played over and over again. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] A big part of the gameplay is about balance, keep your crew rested, healthy and fed without wasting too much supplies and keep an eye on their sanity levels. Make quick decisions, should you waste your last food now or can you hold on just a little bit longer? Will you go as far as eating the corpses just to survive another day? Its your crew, your decision and everyone's life on the line. Repair your ship, no matter how much supplies you have, you wont get far on a sinking ship. Once again its all about finding that balance, if your recourses are low then stick with emergency repairs while scouting for more materials. What Thalassophobia does best is giving you the ability to upgrade your ship with barbwire, turrets and much more, this is a crucial step to staying alive. [h1]Final thoughts[/h1] While i recommend you to give this game a chance, i do want to give a fair warning and say that this might not be suitable for people new to this kind of gameplay as it can get very chaotic very fast if you don't know what you are doing. That being said, i give this game a thumbs up with all the best wishes for the dev. [b][i]A copy of this game was provided by the developer/publisher for review purposes.

Крайне интересная и атмосферная игра, подталкивает игрока на исследование и самостоятельное изучение механик и мира. Техническая часть немного прихрамывает, но в целом очень даже хорошо, понравилась. Надеюсь на дальнейшие обновления и улучшения.

DON'T BUY THIS! Whatever promise and potential this title has is squandered on a laundry list of bad decisions making the game far too annoying to play. When the game starts, you're going to want to go to the options to turn it down, because it's too loud like everything. You will find that of the two options you are given (volume and language) neither of them work when you click on them. Starting a new game you may notice the need to go check the radio. Some people will complain about controls here, but they're not the issue. It's standard WASD to move. you move your sea man around with WASD, hold A and S to climb and descend ladders, it's a non issue. The issue is that the camera does not scroll with or centre on your player character. No, you scroll it around with the mouse. your camera is completely detached from the person you play as. Using the radio your objectives will update to get to the bridge, and a notice will tell you that your middle mouse button will open a command menu. This command menu has a bunch of esoteric symbols that probably mean something, but what those things are I couldn't tell you. clicking on them opened several drop down menues in the command menu, and then middle clicking would not close the command menu. While all of this was going on another sea man on the deck began to be attacked by ... something? I couldn't see or move around to go check. I tried hitting the escape menu hoping to close the command menu, but it brought up the options. Bringing up the options menu while you play is a fatal error. You cannot close this menu. You open it with the escape key, and this time you can actually change the volume and language settings, but once you're done, you press escape key again to close the menu, only it does not close. you click the "exit" text at the bottom of the menu, and the game exists to the main menu, meaning you'll need to start over from the beginning. In the beinning the game tries to show you some photos, with some bottom text about the germans and occult stuff, but then it seamless transitions from giving you the backstory to being a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MESS. You will see slides with back story, tool tips, loading screen text, back story, what is going on? This game sounds so cool, but it's just so bad. Even at a price of $1.59 don't buy this. Go buy a coke or something. You'll have less regret.

This is a preliminary review after just first impressions. The graphics are really not good: everything is kind of blurry, low res and amateur looking. The game takes quite a while to load which is really surprising given what it's loading. The interface is not very intuitive. You can't change the controls. They are wasd, f to centre screen on captain, mouse and mouse buttons. This is a real time game with no pause. It is not a traditional roguelike. I don't see any persistence features yet so it may not be a roguelite either. It seems to have procedural elements to it though. There is a good sense of the crew going round and acting independently. There is a good atmosphere of horror. I will play more and report back.
