When taking a look at _dive on the store page, it seems relatively benign. Maybe it's some sort of first person puzzle game or one of those games that asks a few questions and does whatever. So I decided I'd give it a shot - if anything it'd be cheap Youtube content. So what did I get? Well - are you happy or sad? Answer the questions and it'll take you on a journey that's a bit more trippy than it lets on. _dive is short, buggy to some extent (the buttons are a pain to press), but it does a decent job of worming its way into your head. The progress in the game is slow at first but starts ramping up pretty quick and things change quite a bit. So if you're into games that'll mess with your head a bit and keep you on your toes, this may be right up your alley.

worth the price and gave me goosebumps throughout the whole thing.

Just a great psychological horror with 25 minutes of pure gameplay.

very nice game short but cool

Short, but sort of interesting.

I didn't realize a half-hour game could be this boring and repetitive.

Finally finished, but short and boring than I thought when I didn't ever play.
