A Review of SGD's 'Underwater Adventure'

A few days ago; a game developer that prefers to present himself as 'SGD' (which stands for Secret Game Developer) published the full version of his product that is titled 'Underwater Adventure', which is made on RPG Maker. 

You might think like: "Well; how can a free game made on a simple game-making software by a guy that we have never heard of and lacks corporate identity be good and enjoyable enough especially in comparison to that of Foxeye?". But you'll be moritified!  Despite the fact that it is non-paid; the quality of the game seems to match the general standards that would be enough for it to be put on sale for a decent price under the section of RPG maker-made games on Steam. This mysterious developer obviously has mastered this software and knows how to do an above average job with his skills.

So; what's inside the game? I'll start with the plot; the game which is set in the future time of 2025; starts with a bunch of scientists evacuating a place that is destined to be flooded due to heavy rain. Then a few years after that; we're introduced to the main character who is named Aya, waking up from a bad dream of drowning. Then she meets her friend Julia to go to the lake. After an intense breath-holding contest underwater; Aya discovers a secret ladder, and decides to see where it leads to by herself, which kicks off the start of our adventure. 

When it comes to the music; the main theme makes you fired up. It's an instrumental song called 'Truth' by Japanese jazz fusion band 'T-Square'. With a quick search; I learned that the song was used as a theme for Formula 1. Combined with the fact that Aya's inspiration is a legendary F1 racer from Brazil named Ayrton Senna, (he'll also be re-mentioned in the game with an inspirational quote of him following a swimming race) who lost his live in an accident during the race, we can see that the developer is a very big fan of Formula 1, and it also reflects how Senna is much admired in his country.

There's more than enough stuff to satisfy a true Anime-aquaphilic. Like Foxeye games; it definitey count as a precious treasure for our community! the game includes perils, breath-holding competitions, kiss of life with a nice plot. It's length is decent, and there's even a quite rich extra part that you'll be really disappointed if you miss out! so; you have to complete the game with 100 points or you'll only have seen like %80 of the game. 

The extra part is composed of various sketches such as breath-holding contest with timing, underwater fight, ninjas in underwater bamboo-breathing training, Aya and Julia doing their cosplay show of the fictional Anime series mentioned in the beginning of the game, getting stuck between exchanges of gunfires, Street Fighter references, special pictures and some more entertaining stuff! plus; you'll get to figure out how long each character can hold her breath along with different speech scripts that pop up at their limit! can Bruna, the second-placer in the swimming race hold her breath longer than Aya? 

As I conclude my review of this great game; I'll once again appreciate the developer for contributing to our community this treasure. He can become a big developer as he aims to be one day! he's got the talent for that!

So; here's how you can play. First download this software to run the game:

Who am I?

Who am I?

Those who have known YouTube channels that post underwater-content Anime and Cartoon clips from the very beginning might remember there was a channel named AnimeUnderwater, which was created in the summer of 2009 and perished later in that year. Here's a nostalgic snapshot: 

http://web.archive.org/web/20090822061014/http://www.youtube.com/user/AnimeUnderwater

I was just 14 years old back then (I know my English sucked), and I had no idea about the concept of fetish. The only thing I was sure of was that I was pretty much into seeing female anime and cartoon characters underwater. That's why I had been following a bunch of channels associated with this concept, especially nonovid and giladell. 

So, I was the guy who created that channel, as well as its successors. And I'm still the co-owner of TheAnimeUW. Yea, some people are not aware of the fact that this channel is controlled by two different people from different continents. I came into contact with Archaeophoenixu, my dear friend, a few years ago when he still had his own channel. Later on; he came up with the idea of merging our channels, and that's how it all started. 

Speaking of continents; yea, I'm not from the US, or North America, not even a native speaker. I live in Turkey. No, not in a chicken, for those who might not have an idea, it's a country located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Here's a map:

It's right below Russia, bordering Greece and Bulgaria to the west, and some problematic countries such as Iraq and Syria to the south. Having faced towards Europe and the West since its establishment; it's a member of NATO and a candidate for the European Union. In case you're curious; I live at the coastal west, far away from the southern border to Arab countries.

Back to the topic; I'd like to make it clear about my fetish. I think my underwater fetish is largely related to breath holding in general, because whether on land or underwater, seeing people (girls) hold their breath stimulates me. Unlike my partner Arc, I also have little interest in scuba. For instance; a breath holding contest underwater is more enjoyable to me than just swimming underwater. Therefore, my blog will follow a similar theme to that of Archaeophoenixu, reviewing scenes and such, but I'll also include non-underwater breath holding scenes. Deal with it or simply prick off.
