Dave the Diver is an adventure video game developed by Mintrocket. Players control Dave, an obese diver, as he collects fish, solves quests, and manages a sushi restaurant. It has elements of management, action-adventure, and role-playing video games. It was released in June 2023 for macOS and Windows, and a Switch version is set to release later in 2023.

I deleted it after a couple of hours. Feels like a finely tuned mobile game designed to keep you "hooked" and playing one more day. Story/characters are pretty uninteresting, RPG elements are "fine" but the serving/diving gameplay got old pretty fast for me. It's likely to be extremely attractive to certain types of gamers though but for me it's a little cheap and falls too neatly into the "time-wasting" category of indie game.

Much prefer something like "Dredge", which is also addicting in similar ways but with far superior exploration, more meaningful RPG elements and an interesting story.

I actually dig the graphics here (reminds me of Out of this World/Pitfall/King's Quest), but it feels like a mobile game.
