![]() ![]() Very briefly, I did flirt with taking a break as some sections were pretty hard, but on multiple attempts, I got through in the end. In summary, it’s much of the same as you go deeper.Įnemies get much faster and aggressive, and in my first playthrough, I died a few times, but never in a moment of frustration. The Lower DepthsĪs They Breathe is such a brief game, I won’t spoil any more of the gameplay or ending. Curious what would happen if I dragged this out, I soon learned that the bubbles were keeping it alive and starved of oxygen, it died, and I descended further. Ramming into them at full speed did nothing, and you’re not equipped with machine guns, so I evaded them for as long as possible while still collecting the bubbles.īefore long, the cow started mooing, but it subsided when it collected one of these bubbles.
