The Trench

This game is really bad. It's very short and what we get is extremely boring. It seems interesting - rescue mission on the submarine to the unknown trench under the ocean. But nothing that comes to your mind with this description will ever happen in this game. Controls for the boat are awful - you can only use keyboard, you get movement in all 3 axis and you're able to slowly turn horizontally. For the game with a bit of exploration you'd like to have mouse control, ability to rotate the boat freely - even at slow pace - giving the chance to look at things at different angles. Nope. Apart from diving, you pick up stuff left by the previous crew. You use a robotic arm to do that which is painful. You can only do that while stationary, so with the fixed camera you can't really judge the distance to those items. If you'll get too close, they appear much bigger than they should. It's probably bad programming. Instead of hitting the submarine and perhaps bouncing off, they just appear bigge...

The store page makes this game look better than it actually is. There *was* an attempt, but this feels less like a game and more like a tax write-off. Spoilers for anyone who may want to hold onto their $2.00, or play Iron Lung/Call of Cthulu (because they have a few things in common with this game...) Pros - - Claw machine - Fish Cons - - Everything else After diving to the bottom of the trench, the game pointed out that there was, in fact, a story here, so I returned to the surface, where the objectives finally loaded in. Then, I spent the next two hours looking for them because they were either too small to see unless I was right on top of them, or they were clipping out of the map. It didn't help that all of that work was just so I could listen to a tape recorder phone in voice lines about a scientist finding something and then refusing to leave (shocking, I know) Eventually my sub was attacked by the sea lice, drug into a cave, and then attacked again.
