It was pretty hard to clear this game!!
Be aware of the challenge if u are going to play!!
I really enjoyed this game! Terrifying and Great Whites! Keep up the awesome work and I am just waiting for Dead Faces THIS HALLOWEEN!
Scary works under the sea were rare for me.
I really enjoyed it
So I decided to play the game after a while playing this game I realized that I'm Super Scared of Sharks and Shark Attacks and have Thalassophobia @Azaxor thanks for the diagnosis LMAO!!!. Overall it was a fun experience I was screaming but I was getting random FPS Drops in some parts of the Cave but it wasn't too troublesome. I enjoyed the creation Thank you for making it.
Well made. This really was hard for me to play. I really have a fear of anything, that has teeth and swims. But I managed to beat it, after being chased and screaming like a little girl.
Game begins at 5:01 , I absolutely have no idea how I finished the game, what I was doing but the amount of sharks that chased me was so funny.
This was pretty good. Wasn't able to beat it but still had fun trying to escape the sharks. Made a video on it.
AWESOME GAME!!!!

Hey! I played your game on my stream! Watch it to see the live review! Here's the link for it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS_ArLfTfksmP1L3mplGs0w 😄
I would also appreciate if you could give an opinion on our latest game. Game devs advice is precious because we know better what it takes to make something work. It's called "Backdoor Shifts"

THINGS ARE JUST GETTING STARTED!!!!! 🤩 great game by the way I freaking enjoyed it keep up the good work I can’t wait to play more of your games
Funny/scary game check out gameplay here! SHARKPHOBIA - YouTube
That's a lot of sharks. It went from me trying to strategically sneak through to just running and hoping for the best. Nice job
this made me scream more than any other game, maybe its the fear of deep water, but god damn this fucking game gets it

Cool game here's a speedrun
Scared the pants off me but still a great with great graphics. Totally worth playing.
The graphics in this game were unique but the sharks were extremely buggy. They continue to chase me and won’t leave me alone. Also had no idea where to hide and I kept dying to random things. Probably jellyfish but idk. Was just very disappointed cause I had no idea what I was doing.
as someone with thalassophobia, this game was absolutely terrifying. oh my.
this is literally what is called thalasophobia
*crunch munch crunch munch*
good graphics but sharks abit loopy
The sharks were goofy but the visuals were great, especially the water and vr effects.
Just checking if there's anything else to the game other than just completing it because I noticed its quite easy to just go straight to the end but the map size is quite big.
Also I don't think its my PC but I noticed when playing on 1440p resolution with more than two sharks loaded in the game would go full on potato mode, when I switched to 1080p it was completely fine.
Liked the environments a lot, best moment was seeing the shark come toward you from a tunnel in the distance and just running straight to a crevice. It was clear though that I wasn't swimming, that lowkey broke the immersion.
I LOVE anything that takes place in the ocean! These types of games are few and far between and I love it! Also, claustrophobic caves and sharks are a bad combo.. in a good way! Great job!
Very fun game! I feel like it was super hard so unfortunately I wasn't able to beat it, but still got some pretty good moments recorded!
That was pretty fun. It's definitely hard at first but it gets easier once you figure a few things out. Thanks, dude! I always love playing your games.
I have a fear of the ocean... So this game was something very interesting! Overall enjoyed it!
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water. Very creepy and unnerving game. Great job!
very nice game.
Such an awesome Game. 5/5
