To be fair, it is a bit hard to swallow that Kate is so easily shook when her idea to her predicament is to Prince of Persia her way to a hacking node.

It certainly seems like someone tried to spruce up the story to keep it a bit grounded; like they added references to Malthus and whatnot. I dunno if this will pan out or count though, if your plan could be thought up by Albert Wesker maybe layering on philosophy references will just make things pretentious.

So they were planning to pull a Bi-art.

Okay that's not fair, this game looks a lot better than say Deep Black.

I've never heard of that game, but a look at the Steam page suggests it might be the kind of crappy title I'd really enjoy. I really dig games that almost work, that come so close to fulfilling lofty ambitions, which might be why I have such a soft spot for Hydrophobia.

Oh no please don't. It's a worse game than Hydrophobia in every way. The difficulty is terrible, the levels and combat are uninspired and the story makes absolutely no sense. Like Hydrophobia does stuff with its water; like you can use it to drown enemies, wash them into hazards and whatnot, Deep Black doesn't.

I like the monitor in the background showing SARA's status. That's a nice touch. I guess people really didn't get how to fight the boss hence the pop-up in the beginning? IDK.

And well hey, if you want more awkward but interesting underwater gameplay, there's always...uhhhhhhhh...Guild Wars 2? ...Warframe?

EDIT: actually warframe might appeal to you since DE has a similar history to Dark Energy except they managed to find success.
