Dave the Diver is a casual, singleplayer adventure RPG featuring deep-sea exploration and fishing during the day and sushi restaurant management at night. Join Dave and his quirky friends as they seek to uncover the secrets of the mysterious Blue Hole. https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256955037/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1687942831 Dave the Diver is a cute little fishing/diving game where the core game loop consists of diving into the blue hole to catch fish by day and serving the fish in a sushi restaurant at night. At first, you have one cook and you serve by yourself. Then you hire employees. Then you start farming. And it keeps going. It honestly keeps adding more and more stuff way beyond what I expected with various minigames every now and then. The core loop is extremely good and fun. You hunt fish then sell sushi and use the money for personal upgrades or employees or a bunch of other stuff. Dave gets a melee, harpoon and gun to start off with although the melee and harpoon only get temporary upgrades underwater while the gun can be customized and upgraded in various ways permanently. The pixel art is incredibly charming and works well even in cutscenes, most of which are hilarious. Every new cutscene is a treat. I dropped basically all my other games to play this and I'm still not done after 35~ hours. I think my only complaint is that the special drops for upgrading guns can be a bit too grindy and the lack of automation for lategame farming gets tedious. Otherwise, A++++ game, highly recommend. Works perfectly on Steam deck too.

Ah yeah, most of the harpoon qtes suck. I wish they'd put in an option to skip them or something. The harpoon caps out on damage really early too. Still, I'm down to buy whatever dlc they make. I can always use more dave in my life.
