chill and beautiful little exploration game, great music as well! Badly optimized though and with some unfortunate graphical glitches

Submerged is a third-person non-combat exploration game. You take on the role of a young girl searching a desolated and flooded city for supplies to treat her wounded brother. Story's a bit lackluster, ending was meh. You have a small fishing boat you use to navigate the flooded waters to ruined buildings for you to climb.

There's no platforming through, everything is completely on rails; there's fixed paths you take and you just press the direction keys for your character to climb, descend, jump between objects, etc. You can't die, fall, drown, swim, jump and nothing will effect your progress. Everything is accessible at the start of the game so you can explore however you want in the city; this also means there's not any real difference in exploring throughout the game and can get a tad repetitive. The flooded city is pretty I guess but isn't otherwise too interesting.

5/10

This is a hidden gem.
