REVIEWS

"It’s a beautiful, thoughtful, and entertaining game that demonstrates the author’s genuine investment in more eco-centric game design. A great deal of effort was clearly invested not only in the game’ s conceptualization, but also in its distinctive art style."

-Alenda Y. Chang (Author of Playing Nature: Ecology in Video Games)

"I’ve found the game fascinating and also on a technical level extremely robust. In passing, I will note that the shell narrator of Nautilus Epoch reminded me of Another Crab’s Treasure (Aggro Crab 2024), another sea-focused game I enjoyed playing recently.
