Dave the Diver is an ingenious game about underwater exploration and working in a sushi restaurant. We plan on having a review out in the next few weeks, but before then, Matt and I had a quick chat about what makes this game so charming and special.
Chris: Matt! It's lovely to chat to you. We've both been playing this game called Dave the Diver over the last few weeks. I get the impression you've made a lot more progress than me, but we both seem to be won over by it.
It's one of those games that's always evolving, but at the moment - I'm a few hours in - it's really a game of two parts. During the day you go diving for fish and at night you help serve the fish in a sushi restaurant. So it's two different kinds of games, the first being this roguelike where you explore this ever-changing lagoon and the second being almost a rhythm-action affair where you try to get the right order to the right customer as quickly as possible. That's very bare bones, but that's where I'm at. Tell me: what do you make of it so far?
