I really liked this game. The "gameplay" part might look boring or tedious at first glance, but as someone who loves exploration in games, it didn't feel that way after 5 minutes or so, for the most part at least. It's simplistic, but works perfectly in line with the rest of the game. The music and sound effects also really immerse the player; replicating the feelings of traveling a vast, alien ocean full of life all alone, while also discovering new things at every corner. Additionally, I love how the taxonomy feature fleshes out your discoveries and rewards your efforts with the drawings of the creatures in the end. The main story is also really interesting, so I really recommend this to everyone who might look for a relatively short yet memorable experience. The negatives are that the game mechanics DO get tiring sometimes, and the lack of any kind of quest log could confuse someone who picks up the game after leaving it for a while (or it could be just me).
