Thoughts on Dave the Diver? [No Spoilers] (self.gaming)

Okay so I feel like I'm a good chuck of the way into the game and feel like talking about it. I was lured in by the description of it being a chill diving and sushi restaurant management game. However, it is so so so much more than that. I have to be honest, I almost think it is to much more, there are just systems added on, one after the other. Certain out-of-water area's seem less polished than others making me wonder if the developers bolted it on late in development?

Note, I did not follow early access, nor have looked into any sort of development history of the game. I wanted to go in blind to be surprised by it.

What are all your thoughts? Anyone else dive in (haha) blind like me, or have you been invested from the very start and know the road it's taken to get to 1.0? What do you think of the game at it's present state? The game locks a good amount of mechanics behind story, so try to be mindful of spoilers for folks as much as it's possible.

Glad to see this discussion because I absolutely love this game. I haven't even gotten to much of the story sections and mini games because I've been so caught up in the hunting and sushi bar loop. One thing I also appreciate is how plentiful the oxygen tanks are when exploring underwater, which leaves room for exploration.

I will say, though, that the sushi management aspect could've been better explained. For example, I had to look up what the "auto add" feature was, and I didn't know until later that you could have your employees fetch ingredients. Thankfully, the game isn't really punishing at all.
