When lost in the Depths, the only way to go is up. You will Escape- one way or another.
Players can wall-jump and cling to surfaces to navigate the environment. Reviewers noted the platforming controls feel "snappy and responsive" when they work well, though some mentioned occasional difficulty accurately grabbing onto walls. The ability to crouch-dash was also highlighted as a useful traversal option.
A major focus is exploring the confusing, dimly-lit abyss. Even with a limited light source, the lack of visibility creates a constant sense of tension and uncertainty as players feel their way through the environment. Reviewers praised the emphasis on environmental interaction, such as using inventory items in specific ways to progress.
Rather than relying on cheap jumpscares, the game builds a pervasive atmosphere of dread and unease. The presence of unseen, hostile creatures that give chase when spotted contributes to this tense atmosphere, forcing players to be cautious and attentive.
The game features multiple endings that are unlocked through different actions and choices made by the player. Reviewers enjoyed the replayability and sense of discovery that comes with pursuing these alternate endings, though some found the requirements overly cryptic or difficult to uncover. The inclusion of a fishing minigame was also praised as a welcome, lighthearted break.
The game offers a "Dynamic Difficulty" system that allows players to adjust settings like enemy spawns and visibility. This "Explorer Mode" was appreciated by reviewers who enjoyed the atmosphere but found the base difficulty too challenging, as it provided a safer, less punishing experience.
