Sub-Verge Reviews
Sub-Verge speaks to a precise audience: players who enjoy interactive storytelling, moral dilemmas, and narratives unafraid of dark outcomes. It demands patience, attention to detail, and a willingness to move forward through words rather than constant action. For others, it might feel more like an illustrated tale than a “traditional” game. But for those drawn to experiences blending psychology, science fiction, and underwater tension, Sub-Verge offers a short yet intense dive — with a final sequence that will hold your breath for you. And not just because of the oxygen. Recommended for anyone ready to immerse themselves in a tense, atmospheric tale where survival depends on the trust you earn.
The most enjoyable part of the story was revealing the relationships between the seven characters present. Each one had their motives and feelings towards my character, influencing gameplay. Again though, trying to pull the story out of these characters often felt like a chore. Oftentimes the dialogue would repeat itself, leading me to quickly skip through to the next part.
