The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human Demo

The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human is one of the most suggestive titles a game can have. It literally tells you what the game is about but leaves out a crucial detail: when. The game features the underwater journey of Argo 9, a hybrid ship that plunges from space deep into a futuristic ocean.

The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human is an exploration game that takes you into dark corners of a grand ecosystem that has evolved beyond what humans thought possible. Giant worms that can swallow entire buildings, huge clams that could snap any submarine in two, and even mutated seahorses terrify the depths.

The plot seems to be simple one, global warming, less sun, have an ice age then go live underwater. It’s been done before, not in this manner, but the concepts aren’t new. What different is the manner in which they are presented. Even though The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human is a pixel art game with a rather low level of detail, the world, as a whole, is impressive.

Only a handful of people can pull off this level of eeriness and immersion. Moreover, the audio is spot on. At times, it’s gloomy, sometimes it dusts off the explorer spirit in you, and most of the time, it will make the atmosphere uneasy.

When it comes to playing it, The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human is as intuitive as it can be. The controls are easy to pick up, and switches, as well as objects you can interact with, are nicely highlighted.

Exploring is done at a steady pace that gives you plenty of time to marvel at the world around. The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human is mostly centered around exploration and big boss fights and expect the latter to be extra tough. The very first boss fight that with a giant worm that can swallow a skyscraper in one bite will challenge your patience but once that’s done, the impressive size of the creature makes you wonder what else lives in this now alien world.

There is a certain saturation of pixel art games but staying away from this one means you’re missing out. If you value games with attention to details and enjoy well-crafted atmospheres, The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human offers that and a lot more.
