Summary

Dave the Diver is an action-adventure and management simulation game developed by Mintrocket. In the game, players control Dave, who spends his days diving into underwater environments to catch fish and gather resources, and his nights managing a sushi restaurant. The gameplay combines real-time underwater exploration and combat with restaurant management mechanics.

GOTY indie 2023 for sure. This game is amazing!

May go back to it. Had a lot of fun early on but it got repetitive and I got a little bored.

Lots of fun, loved the different "gameplays" of fishing/exploring during the day and working at the restaurant at night. I really enjoyed it, but got bored of the repetitiveness after a few hours.

Really enjoyable cosy game that reminds me of the fun i had with moonlighter in terms of going out there catching the fish then having to come manage a sushi restraunt and balance out max profits vs leveling up to get better at your diving runs .. absolutely beautiful if you're into that kind of game..

A lovely (but surprisingly stressful) diving and restaurant management game about a man who gets treated like dirt by basically everyone he calls a friend 😂

Dave the Diver overcomes its faults (clunky and frustrating boss battles and combat, needlessly cluttered UI in menus) and places itself among my favorite indie games I’ve ever played. I can easily recommend this to anyone, but it’s not a relaxed game… don’t let the underwater setting fool you— fighting sharks and dealing with the crippling financial consequences of running a 3-Star sushi restaurant are the real challenges.

I can definitely recommend this to anyone
