The fear of being in the water / open water is definitely the driving factor here. If you're paranoid and afraid of aquatic life threatening you, i think this game does a couple of good bits of it. Intense factor rises the longer you play, it's pretty good. The puzzles were kinda weird but i suppose that comes with the territory of it feeling like the "backrooms" so it fits well i suppose. Well done imo.

About This Game
Sharks and Minnows is an exploration-based survival horror game where players are trapped within a haunted swim center and must complete ten laps to escape.
Players must scavenge the facility in order to keep their stamina as high as possible. Swimming causes stamina to drain and running out mid-lap will have deadly consequences.
If the situation gets desperate enough, many players will have to venture into the dark corners of the haunted building in order to find secret stashes of supplies.
Various hazards will be encountered while traversing the environment. Players will need to use their wits in order to overcome these obstacles because if they fail, they may end up trapped forever.

Please make compatible for asus rog ally x, I put mouse all the way to max but it takes like 10 seconds to turn left or right ?
Attempted Murder.
This game was intense, but only realistically if you have a fear of open water, or things in the water. I could barely make it 30 mins in. I stood just staring and pacing at the edge of the pool for so long before I just shut my eyes and prayed that I would just make a b-line for the edge...and I should've known, it only gets worse from there, once you get past the first few laps...good luck, i never even got the valve handle. But if you have no fear of the waters or things in them you'll be just fine and might even enjoy yourself!
I HAVE THALASOPHOBIA... BUT THIS TURNED INTO A MIND BENDING TRIPPY PUZZLE HORROR GAME REALLY FAST... For the price it is a CRAZY RIDE, of course my opinion might be swayed a little more than others considering Im using this game to make content. There was this general UNPOLISHED feel to it at times, like the Piranhas dint even have an animation to kill you, just AS SOON as you touched the water they were in, you die. The whole idea is to make it across the pool while grabbing these hearts in the pool to help you finish the next lap. But it turns into this trippy STRANGE Horror game. Really enjoyed it and the ENDING was worth it and as someone who has genuine fear of water and sharks, it was INTENSE, but if the price was more than 7.99 I probably would NOT recommend it and I still would recommend to get it on a sale since it is RATHER short BUT also I feel like its JUST long enough, it didnt over stay its welcome.
