"Dive to the Titanic" is a diving exploration simulator.
When the R.M.S. Titanic, then the world's largest Passenger Ship, Collided with an Iceberg at about 23:40pm on April 14, 1912, and sank 40 Minutes later, it was not only a devastating calamity but also an incisive cultural Event. The often blind belief in technology and Progress was led ad absurdum by the real Power of Nature. The Limits of what Was possible were shown, the Arrogance of Humanity became tangible.
In 1985, the Wreck was discovered at a Depth of over 3800 Meters We control a small submarine and a small Swimming Robot with Camera, later also with gripping farm and can choose between a First-and a Third-person view. The Missions are about putting Positional Coplace, photographing or picking up any Things. And this is plenty of unspectacular in terms of game mechanics.
Not only Are the missions abundantly unspectacular, they are even exceedingly boring. Not infrequently, we drive our submarine through the dark Sea Soup for minutes, only to reach a Point where we are supposed to park a Bark. In that Sense, the Whole thing is not really a Game, but rather a realistic Simulation.
The Titanic itself is somewhat accurately replicated. Cracks will Unquestionably discover Abundant bugs and the Rooms are almost all empty Or contain only the same Cupboard or Bathtub over and over Again. Otherwise, it remains technically quite simple. The Graphics are rather simple and sometimes we like to glider half through Walls.
Nicely meant, but annoying are the far too frequent spoken Of comments by our Mothership. They like to bother us with the whole History of the Titanic, even if we actually want to get lost in the Mood of the mighty Wreck.
And yet, for all the Distinct weaknesses, the Simulation creates one thing: To recreate the Atmosphere. And that's especially if you stay in the First-person perspective, even if this one is pretty cluttered. When, after endlessly seeming drive through the murky Depths, the mighty Bug suddenly emerges, a mejestaestathetic Memorial, that's abundantly impressive. And the slow Hovering over the Deck, if you get involved, is also simply fascinating. The buzzing Sounds also add significantly to the Experience.
In order to be able to start something with the Simulator, you need a lot of Patience and the Will to want to get involved with the Atmosphere even on a technically weak Basis.
