Hello, I just found this game couple of days ago and I wanted to share my thoughts about it. I gotta say I'm very impressed! Never played anything like it. It's a great combination of couple of my favorite genres. I like how survival, story telling and rogue-like elements are combined in the game and how it has a mysterious, spooky flavor to it. This game is very "different" and has very interesting story to it. I still have to figure out how did the world turn into sunless sea and what's on the surface...
The gameplay is quite nice, provision system is satisfying and enjoyable. But I quickly ran out of money to support my expeditions in my first try. After couple of tries I found one source that provides relatively bigger reward and can be run repetitively to support the expenses of provisions for a distant exploration. Not sure if it can last for long though.
One thing that seemed not very balanced for me was the shipyard. It seems that there are couple of options of what ship to sail but switching to a new ship is quite a pleasure, while there are not a lot of benefits from doing so. At least it is my impression.
The most important point I want to make is that after exploring enough territory it feels slow from time to time to reach certain destinations. I don't know how hard it would be but I think it would improve the experience a lot if there was an "x2" and maybe "x4" option along "pause" and "resume" so that you could double the time passed ingame and reach the destination faster.
Otherwise, enjoying the game a lot. There are so much to explore.
Peace,
Big fan
