But I found this game deeply disturbing: you kill the most fish possible to make the most money possible, but not the dolphins because they are cute. I found this game is a perfect symbol of the overproductivism of our era, while the earth is dying. I know it’s just a game, but the fact the game creator are not even aware of the philosophy their game is carrying, left a bitter taste in my mouth.
And yeah, the game is full of FOMO even in their dlcs, and the huge amount of collabs with other overly popular game make me think, in the end, it’s a pure marketing vessel. An it’s fake indie !

The irony is that I am a vegetarian who avoids hunting in games (RDR2 for example) but somehow Dave the Diver had me swimming around with a speargun like a mad girl.
That fact still sits uneasily on my shoulders!
