“very fun with friends but their are some balancing issues. sharks need an upgrade. divers always win they have so many tools to fight the sharks it just feels unfair as shark or diver.”
“6/10 game that’s worth a try but overtime the game play imbalance becomes an issue of skill issue rather then the fun of the builds I hoped for. The tight skill shot for the sharks is annoying, heck even a skill shot if…”

“One of the best games I have ever played, balance is amazing and while the matchmaking takes some time to work properly most games you get into are going to be very fun. I think it's time for a sequel.”

“Neeeds to be a 2nd one. You will break record gains if you do new devs. Old devs had no idea what gem they have.”
“Still to this day one of the most fun A-sym horror games that never lost it's edge. It just lost it's players, stopped getting new maps, and devs closed up, but at least AI bots will fill in if you don't have enough…”
