Let's Play Fishy: Not What I Expected
1I came into this wanting an aquatic horror experience. And it looked like I was going to get it, to a degree. Only it ends with a feel good message of friendship and such. The whole suspicious restricted area thing was a red herring. AND HOW DO YOU PUT A PROSETIC TAIL ON A SHARK?! It would drown well before that could be accomplished, surely!
You know, I think I figured out why this game bothers me so much. I was relating to the character. Her fear of the ocean (which is perfectly sensible and natural) was hitting a cord with me. That part where the game talks about looking down into the dark void of the ocean, only to see a mouth coming from the abyss...filled with eyes and teeth? That is my fear to the exact. A fear that I only experience in my absolute worst nightmares. To pull this reversal nonsense on me feels like a betrayal. The ocean...calm and serene? A mask, nothing more. There is nothing about the ocean that won't kill you. This game LIES.
