Backstory

2051. The world has become consumed by the ever rising tide of the global population flood. Fertile land has been reclaimed by rising oceans and expanding deserts, resulting in famine and poverty on an unprecedented scale. Water is now mankind's most precious resource, and conflict erupts wherever it flows.
Only one bubble of the old capitalist world survives. The Queen of the World is the largest ship ever to grace the oceans, a colossal city at sea where the wealthy elite live in exile from the chaos which surrounds them. Onboard this stateless paradise the Five Founding Fathers set about pursuing their Cornucopian research unimpeded.
The contempt of the outside world is offset by NanoCell Corporation, one of the five, who promise to develop nano-technology to purify sea water at the molecular level and make the deserts bloom with the food of the world. But as they move closer to their goal, the bitterness of fanatical Malthusians grows.
The so called 'Neo Malthusians' timed their attack perfectly. 9.8 billion watched as they recast hope as hatred, following a prophecy to commit global genocide; drowning the planet with blood as they slash the worlds population to a mere half billion 'righteous souls'. A prophecy they will soon find themselves in a position to fulfill."> Features

Leider viel zu kurz



Tja Hyrophobia ist leider ein viel zu kurzes Spiel aber dennoch ist es großartig.

Man muss viel klettern, es gibt nen paar Rätsel und Suchecken. Nach einer kurzen Zeit kommt dann auch die Waffe mit ins Spiel. Bei dieser schaltet man nach und nach verschiedene Munitionstypen frei, wo manche richtig cool rocken können. Auch die Tauchpassagen, die öfters mal kommen und teilweise auch mit kämpfen verbunden sind, sind gut gemacht und machen wirklich Spaß.

Die Story ist halt leider wie der Rest des Spiels zu kurz aber dennoch schön gestaltet. Die Umwelt des Spieles ist gut gewählt und man sieht sowas nicht alle Tage. Auch die Dialoge, die man meistens mit seinem Kumpel übers Headset führt, sind oft lustig gehalten und auch sehr schön gesprochen. Überall lassen sich Dokumente und Objekte finden, die ein wenig über die Welt erzählen. Auch kann man sehr gut nachlesen, was als letztes passiert ist, da der Hauptcharakter gerne Protokolle führt :)

Die Grafik ist wie ich finde sehr schön und gut dargestellt. Wirklich erstaunlich wieviel Mühe man sich für so ein kurzes Spiel gemacht hat.

Fazit
Ein sehr gutes aber leider auch viel zu kurzes Spiel. Ich hoffe auf einen zweiten Teil oder eine Fortsetzung in irgendeinem Sinne. Auch wenn es kurz ist, ist dafür die Grafik,Story und das Gameplay sehr gut gelungen und daher kann man das Spiel trotz der Spieldauer ohne Gewissensbisse empfehlen.

Eher schwacher Titel, aber die Geschichte hat interessante Punkte und das Spiel ist visuell recht ansprechend. Vorwarnung: Das Ende kommt etwas plötzlich und ist eher unbefriedigend. Trotzdem empfehle ich das Spiel Leuten, die Wert auf Geschichte und Dialoge legen (und grad nichts besseres zu spielen haben).

Ein interessantes Setting, tolle Effekte und ein vielversprechendes Gameplay sowie, und das ist muss man einfach eingestehen: Das wohl beste Wasser, welches ich bislang in einem Spiel gesehen habe.

Aber das Spiel hat leider auch gravierende Probleme: Da wären zwei Figuren die an Seichtigkeit nicht zu überbieten sind, wobei mich das noch nicht einmal so gestört hätte, eine unglaubliche Wiederholung von Aufgaben, man macht eigentlich immer und immer wieder das Gleiche... suche einen Gegenstand, löse den Code, gehe weiter..., ein Gunplay welches ebenfalls grauenhaft ist und bei welchem ich erst nach ca. 2/3 des Spiels erkannte, dass es verschiedene Munitionsarten gibt, gleiches gilt für die Deckungsfunktion, eine Story die komplett verwirrend und auch nicht so ganz schlüssig ist...ein absolut dämlicher und unnötiger Bosskampf, bei dem auch irgendwie einige Logiklücken auftreten...

Hydrophobia: Prophecy ist kein schlechtes Spiel. Aber es könnte so viel mehr sein ! Es sind eindeutig viele gute Ansätze vorhanden und das Setting und die Idee sich in einem sinkenden riesigen Schiff vorwärtskämpfen zu müssen um nicht zu ertrinken ist ebenfalls ziemlich gut. Aber selbst wenn man sich Zeit lässt hat man es in 3h durchgespielt... es gibt dann zwar noch einen Herausforderungsmodus aber in dem geht es vor allem um Kämpfe, dam meiner Meinung nach, schlechtesten Element des Spiels.
Es ist schwer zu sagen ob ich es nun weiterempfehle oder nicht... wer sich nicht vom Setting angesprochen fühlt sollte die Finger davon lassen und auch viel Geld sollte aufgrund des geringen Umfangs nicht investiert werden.
Das Spiel hat zwar einen gewissen Charme und ist ein nettes Schmankerl für Zwischendurch mutet aber in vielen Aspekten irgendwie eher wie eine Tech bzw. Enginedemo als ein Spiel an.... denn die Technik ist die wohl größte Stärke des Spiels.
Wer aber gerne mal tauchen gehen und eine schwimmende Stadt (Schiff?) der Superlative retten will, welche von Terroristen angegriffen wird, kann aber auch getrost einen Blick wagen, denn eine Katastrophe erwartet einen nicht.

Hier spielt man als Technikerin, welche auf einem gigantischen Schiff arbeitet. In der Zukunft wird Wasser Mangelware und die Reichen und Schönen haben sich auf einem der letzten großen Reservate ein Schiff gebaut. Dieses wird Ziel, wie sollte es anders sein, eines Terrosristischen Angriffs und wir sind mitten drin. Unschuldig aber sehr wehrhaft!
Wir kämpfen uns getrieben und geleitet von einem Technikerfreund am Headset durch das explodierende Schiff und retten was geht. Dabei laufen uns immer wieder Terroristen über den Weg die wir gekonnt erschießen dürfen. Das Wasser ist bald ein sehr wichtiges Element und es gibt kaum einen Moment, wo wir nicht Hüfthoch in selbigen stehen.
Durch einen chemischen Unfall entdecken wir, das wir sogar das Wqasser kontrollieren können. Das fand ich toll, Feinde mit Wellen ausschalten hat was. Aber ansonsten ist es doch recht kurz geraten. Sogar ich habe es in drei Stunden durch geschafft. Aber die Grafik ist gut, die Geschichte ab und an hektisch, aber es geht. Empfehle es, da es kurzweil hat und schön aussieht.

Takes about 4 hours to compete. It's short and sweet. Unfortunately, Hydrophobia wasnt as popular as the devs needed it to be and they shut down after the re-release. Too bad, seems like they were setting up for a sequel which would have had potential

Actually a pretty decent game with some minor flaws. Most major workaround that should be done is to run the game with Vsync locked at 60fps, otherwise the engine would run too fast and you'd get bugs and anomalies.

My favourite mechanic was the water powers and the impressive water physics of the game. While the water physics and the gameplay around it is prevalent throughout the entirety of the experience, the water power only show up during the last 15 minutes of the campaign and you barely get to play around with it until you go through the challenge room.

Great tech and ideas overshadowed by a by-the-numbers campaign and some poor pacing, but the different ammunition for your gun, especially the environmental ones made doing combos and getting a higher score fun. I don't think there are many game where you can lure an enemy into a trap by electrocuting, then drowning them in a body of water.

The game's really short, and easy except some challenginng medals, But ultimately do-able.

I do have to say, this engine running the water is VERY impressive. If you want to buy this to experience excellent water physics, then do it. I LOVE the atmosphere. Beyond that, I have MAJOR issues with not just the story, characters, but also the bugs the game has.

Using the keyboard if you click the CTRL button, which in this game is the crouch key, makes spinning lights respond to your key-press.
Using a controller if you are walking through water which is about ankle high, Kate will start lunging forward very fast, very disorienting.
It seems like every single second of just walking is some obstacle in Kate's way which makes her moan that same moan every second. It's so ungodly annoying.

The premise of the story is actually interesting. Nano-cell research vs people who are against it and want to be natural, cleansing the world. It's kinda been done a million times before, but its very 2010's. I like it. The execution of the story however, sucks.
On first startup I had absolutely no idea I was on a ship, nobody made any indication we are on a ship. They started talking some Great Flood... but why do ships have to worry about floods?! You see what I mean?

by god this game is bad. There are some interesting aspects, the water still even now looks good, and I like the idea of the world it's set in. Outside of that it's difficult to find any reason to recommend this game. It's also borderline unfinishable due to a glitch right before the finale (turn the settings down and your fps cap as low as it can go).

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on


Rose. You have to live. I want you to start a family, have babies, become a granny. No Waters of the universe can kill you.
Also, I love Kate from hydrophobia Prophecy.

Not terrible, not really great either BUT serverely lacking in Q&A, especially in testing. Incomplete.

I wanted to like this game as I was streaming it but every time I complimented it the game seemed to go out of it's way to make something go wrong.

What finally broke the camel's back was a checkpoint towards the end of Act 3 that spawns you back into an electrified field and kills you instantly, forcing you to redo the entire chapter.

This game had potential with it's water physics but it is wasted here.
Do not buy.

The engine renders everything in such a way that every frame looks out of focus (srsly, WTF?), character models and animations look just plain ugly, the controls feel wonky and the fight scenes are unsalvageable thanks to the controls.

Add TERRIBLE writing and you get a very generic, shoddy and unenjoyable third-person action-adventure with stealth elements.

Barely made it to the thumbs up vote. The game really could have used a few more months of polishing... it feels like they ran of time and were forced to ship before they could really dial in the gameplay systems (and added small details, like, you know... enemies actually reacting to getting shot). BUT, the water is the saving grace here. Again, it could have used some more polish time, but I've never played a game quite like this one where you can flood rooms and alter water levels in (somewhat) unscripted fashion. It's a cool experiment in level design and environment navigation, and I hope someone out there has the opportunity to continue exploring this concept in the age of the RTX 3080. Plus it runs at 4k flawlessly on my 1080, so the older visuals look super sharp. The lighting has held up fairly well to the test of time thus far.

Quite short (3.4 hours to finish although there were some challenges but I didn't feel like looking at those). Game felt a bit clunky, which made underwater combat a pain. Level design is quite repetitive with amble corridors to go through. There were a few puzzles which was a good addition. End boss was a bit.. then the game ended. Very non-climatic.

Just a general, mediocre game. Not necessarily bad but doesn't really have much going for it. I think the water stuff was kind of cool, flooding areas etc, waves, things getting pushed around and so on. That was well done and makes it stand out a little.

they've done a great job fixing the game and supporting high res. Plays a lot like early Crystal Dynamics tomb raiders.

story is nothing to write home about and the voice acting is sub par, but the gameplay is solid and the water graphics/physics are pretty cool. It's well worth it's price tag.

Got the game in a sale, even then I would say its an average at best. Combat mechanics are horrible, I constantly died as my cursor was on the target but I kept hitting the cover next to me. Getting the powers like 10 minutes before the end of the game was kind of lame. Other than that the biggest problem I had was it was too short. I feel like they were aiming for a sequel but on its own this game is too short. There is no real character development and the concept of the floating city and religious terrorists was intriguing it didn't have the time to really develop and for that I can't recommend this game.

I can't recommend this game I want to but it left a bitter taste in my mouth. It's very clear it was intended to be the start of a series for one and it shows. It's gameplay is average a lot of annoying tropes to get to the next room, and the combat is meh. You get a bunch of ammo type for your one gun but the unlimited sonic bullets you get 1st never stop being the best ammo. A quick charge and you knock down the target for a bit a follow-up shot their done or in most of the game just leave them to drown. You have many environmental kills to play with. Overall the game is playable but boring and repetitive. Late in the game you get hydrokinesis and then it starts to be more interesting but you don't get to play with it enough to really justify it. It's mainly just make a water column smash enemies into the ceiling or let them drop. The last and only boss you use it to throw explosive barrels. This isn't a bad game it's just lacking in story, feel, and gameplay. You could likely get though the story in less then 4 hours. The main draw to the game is the water as it looks incredible. Yet that's what it feels like everything went into and why so much is missing. Overall an average shooter with good ideas but never fully made them work.

Many awesome games like Super Mario 64 and Half-Life 2 have puzzles with rising water in them. However, as the water rises it does not interact with its surroundings and if it is affected by player action, that effect is usually small and contained...

Hydrophobia does the impossible and delivers dynamic water that rises, splashes against walls and has waves that interact with all ireggularities of the ship. The water still looks computer made and it is far from realistic, but it is far ahead of other games and thus delivers a unique experience. Most game developers feel that realistic dynamic water is not worth it and stick with static or animated water. This will probably remain for years the one unique game with fluid mechanics.

Fluid mechanics aside, the rest of the game is a pretty average action/puzzler title. The underwater combat with six degrees of freedom was great, but didn't Descent prove that people just want 3D graphics and not full 3D environments?

One of the nitpicks I have is that one of the puzzles is a rip-off from Half Life 2 (but less interesting in this game) and even though it is a worse puzzle they even put the same problem in TWICE.

Controls with gunplay, coverplay and getting on and off ladders is descent but not as smooth as we are used to from better games...

The game is also short and the one boss fight is very frustrating, partially because of bad controls but also incorrect instructions. They do not update the on screen instructions if you redefine the keys so the game told me to press the wrong key in the final battle.

So the final line is: It is all about the water... and since this game is cheap, especially on Steam sales it is so worth it.

It's good if you know what you're getting. This was a tech demo for 2 game engine utilities. The original version of the game was bad and rushed. There was a second version that improved some things, and then the final version here. The company went bankrupt and this was also meant to be an episodic experience.

With that being said, don't expect some big fancy ground breaking game. Its a short game (at about 3 or 4 hours, no idea why some people think its only 1 hour). The water does indeed take a back seat to things but is still an interesting feature. Combat is a bit one dimensional and the boss fight is the most tedious thing in the world. For $5 its not bad. This used to go on sale for pennies but since the dev is dead I guess it doesn't anymore.

Took only about 3 hours to complete this game. The graphics are dated, the dialogue is stilted and poorly mixed, and the combat is weird. However, after playing Twin Sector RIGHT after this, i can reassure that this is at least kinda fun. Unfortunately, unlike the unambiguously terrible Twin Sector, Hydrophobia is no longer available for purchase. Ahh well.

Well its a game.... You get water powers for a quarter of one level and for the last boss. it is pretty dated now so take it as such. Might be worth like few € but not more. The story hints at a much larger world with some semi interesting lore but you never get to see it as the game just ends. No resolution to anything, It just ends. Oh and also all levels are in corridors so no world building there but its not really at all 9/10. 6 /10 tops. If you have 2 h to play something and you want to complete a game then this is an easy one to beat even on the hardest difficulty.

I generally like the game. It's not amazing, but it's a fresh IP that is well put together and breaks most formulas. So yeah, pick it up and enjoy it.
