This game has a lot of potential. However, as it stands right now the price is excessively disproportionate to the amount of minutes, yes... minutes, worth of fun it contains (and I bought it with a 20% discount!). Yes, exploring underwater mysteries is immersive, especially with a VR device, but the experience doesn't last long. You might not give much credit to a review by someone who spent less than 2 hours in-game, yet this was all the time it took to finish the game, collect all achievements and repeat once more for good measure. My recommendation: wait until the game has fleshed out a bit more (fingers crossed) and *then* buy it at the next sale.

About This Game
EXPLORE THE OCEAN
In the deep sea there’s no natural sunlight, but every A.Q.U.A. dive pod comes equipped to see in the dark. Tools like flood lights and flares illuminate nearby areas, while more advanced gear like visual sonar can cut through the deep sea fog and highlight distant objects. Earn cash by recovering treasure and reporting lost wreck sites to A.Q.U.A. Invest your earnings into dive pod upgrades to increase your effectiveness as an explorer.DISCOVER THE TRUTH
Working for A.Q.U.A. means being in the dark, literally and figuratively. Sarah has learned to stop asking questions about her missions, but when her assignments become increasingly unusual, she begins her quest to learn the truth. Discover an open ocean filled with sci-fi wonder and supernatural secrets. Experience the personal story of Sarah's struggle to survive in a world that might be beyond saving.IMMERSE YOURSELF IN VR
Neptune Flux can be played with or without a VR headset, but if you're chasing that feeling of VR 'presence', this game is for you. Strap on a headset like the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, grab your favorite gamepad, and get lost in a fully realized world. Look around the humble interior of Sarah's dive pod and hear her snarky comments. See the huge scale of wreck sites in stunning stereoscopic 3D. Listen to professionally mastered positional audio and hear everything - from creaking wooden ships to percolating bubbles - in remarkable clarity.Screenshots
User Reviews
I really want to recommend this game, but as it stands, I can't. While the story is engaging, and the puzzles are fun to figure out, it took me a little over 100 minutes to finish the game. I'm not sure that's enough to qualify as a completed game, and it feels more like an intro to the world that has been created here. This is unfortunate, because I was really getting into the story, but when I reached the end, all I could say to myself was, "Is that it?" I thought that I had done something wrong instead of actually finishing the game. Beyond that, I really liked the undersea world, although I wish it could have had more sea creatures swimming along. Currently the underwater realm is a little devoid of sea creatures. The graphics were also pretty nice, and I really enjoyed exploring the different points of interest. I just wish there was more to this game than there currently is. If the game gets expanded with more story and more stuff to do, I'll revise this review.
Bought it an hour ago. Beat it. The story would be good if it were fleshed out some more. Fun for what it is but not worth the price. Save your money until its on sale or just don't bother.
finished the game in 46 min, and it was alright. But they need to work on the story line more. 5 missions all easy to problem solve. not recommended at this time. maybe when they accually finish the game!
Well, the to be honest, I am currently feeling a little bit betrayed. I think, this is not a finished game. The game game ends, when it should start, because the 2 hours of playing (sorry, that it took me so long) feel like the tutorial or intro into the real story. Call me old fashioned, but 14,99€ is wayyy too much for such a short game.
Game is a bit too short (~60-90mins) - while I understood what was going on it was on the lower side of explaining stuff. Either more to explore or a stronger guidance through it would've helped a lot. Also I felt unnecessarily restrained by the battery power. This mechanic did not really add anything interesting to the game and just prolonged it for no good reason. However I enjoyed it for what it was, I just would've loved it more if there was more to it. Felt like it ended where it just could've started, because the potential is absolutely there for a much longer game. Underwater exploration, mystery, interesting setting, solid controls and voice acting.
Neptune Flux is a atmospheric underwater story-driven exploration game in a dystopian future. You take on the role of Sarah, an A.Q.U.A. employee trying to keep her mind off of her troubled past while tasked with finding the source of strange energy surges. As you explore the open ocean you'll discover the secrets about you're mothers disappearance. It's a short game but I really enjoyed it.
all i can say was done in 45 minutes. wheres the rest of teh game?
An enjoyable little game in VR. Great story and voiceacting. A little short, but for a VR game i felt i got my moneys worth.
Great game! The story, the music, and the in-game world come together to create an intriguing and enjoyable playing experience. I played this game without VR, and it was still very good, but I suspect it would really shine in VR. Pros - Story-driven - Good balance between hiding things but not making them impossible to find. - The controls are very well laid out (with a gamepad) making it easy to navigate 3D space. Cons - It's short right now. But there is more content in the making.
