Update: As I understand the game is quite long and not everyone is interested in all of it, there is now a post-game clear save available [url=https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MPGb4m3RIbIUY8_a-HuHyddeCUiaPLRp]here[/url] which you can place in your AppData\Local\IWBTOP\Data path (similar to any studio game) to use and access whichever areas do interest you.

This is a very lengthy adventure game, intended to provide the player with a wide array of nearly everything that fangames offer including a large variety of platform and boss gimmicks, tied together with a cheesy story of reversed roles where you play as your favorite secondary fangame character (or the kid, for familiarity) seeking solace under the sea.

Requires mouse use for certain situations though none that are time restrictive, and has a couple of optional online features including leaderboards and version checking (available from 1.02 onward).

Current version is 1.21

A new character model is available in 1.21

Those on version 1.1 should update asap as it unfortunately introduced a crash risk.

Awesome and very long needle-adventure game with varied content and a lot to enjoy, though some of it isn't always the most fun, it's massive scope is enough to keep me hooked.

Rating based on 1.21 and 100%.

Of all the fangames that I've played, this is truly the one that easily encapsulates everything I think of by the word "Adventure", it is for sure the greatest journey I have taken in fangames to date. There is needle, avoidance, gimmicks, bosses, puzzles, multiple varying mechanics, online leaderboards, minigames, the list of what this game has is truly endless, all spanning a mighty length of 12 stages.

For me, this game has always been a mark on my bucket list of fangames to beat, a bookmark listed above all others as something I'd like to one day beat, a finale that I could be happy with. To not only finally accomplish this, and to also obtain every single star as well, is something I never expected to actually do, and now it leaves me stunned knowing this behemoth has been slain. I went in thinking what an enjoyable time this would be, and had my expectations blown out the water by a masterpiece.

Of all the memorable aspects of the game, of which there are dozens, these are some of my favorites: Reveal Spoiler

I couldn't recommend this game more, it's absolutely superb in every way. Before you start your journey, I highly recommend reading the Read-Me and checking the in-game settings, as there are a lot of accessibility stuff to look for, especially a setting that changes bosses between having I-Frames or being Mashable (can be helpful depending on the fight). If you enjoy the game enough, consider going for all 41 stars that the game has, they are completely optional but will allow you to truly experience what challenges the lands hold.

Absolute masterpiece Kurath, I hope this game continues to inspire the community for years to come.

Incredible. Must play game. Tons of stages with new gimmicks the whole way through. It never feels stale or unfair. Absolute banger.

Incredible level design, production values, and basically everything. There's a ton of content and it's all as inventive as it is fun to play. The creativity on display is stunning, and even when I feel the gameplay stumbles on the fun factor (Acid Bog), the gimmicks are still interesting enough to keep me entertained. Overall, easily one of the best fangames ever made. Personally I wasn't too fond of some of the bosses (Ice Guardian) and tend to dislike avoidances in general, but I won't dock points for that because the bosses themselves (except Ice Guardian?) are fine, they just aren't the kind of thing I personally enjoy playing. I recommend this game to basically everyone, as long as you can handle the pretty hard (but not too hard) needle.

All things considered, this is probably the best take on the adventure game formula I've come across. I find that adventure games tend to stumble further in, with exceedingly terrible gimmick platforming or a truly bad boss sapping my interest in continuing, but I was compelled to see Ocean Princess through to the end despite its prodigious length, so I think that counts for something. Some of the bosses are quite bad, and there are some horribly designed saves here and there, but there's nothing that made me feel like dropping the game, which is an accomplishment given just how much content kurath packed into this thing.

If you want a relatively difficult fangame that isn't just needle or just avoidance or just traps, and so forth, you can't really go wrong with this.
