Dave the Diver is a casual RPG-adventure game where you go on an aqautic quest. Most gamers who have zero expectations going in, are blown away by the beautiful and quirky scenes, and the relaxing fun gameplay. The story of the Blue Hole is also a fascinating mystery.

Fans are loving this ocean themed game. An inside source revealed that Dave the Diver has sold almost six million copies. That is an outstanding accomplishment for any indie title. The game has filled a void that wasn't previously clear to many other than MintRocket.



The game is very original and quite charming. During the day, the player gets to explore the Blue Hole for all its unraveling mysteries. Then at night, the player runs a restaurant serving, you guessed it, Sushi and other ocean delicacies.

Dave the Diver is a mix of several games rolled into one, but somehow MintRocket pulled it off. The blend is just working and fans can't get enough. Many gamers have reported that they played 30-40 hours before completing the game. Some users did say that it can take a couple hours to really get going in the game, and get to the more exciting gameplay.



The fishing and the restaurant management could each be games all on their own. The strategy involved in running the sushi restaurant is extremely complex but satisfying. During the day, you can also run a fish farm so you don't need to fish as much eventually.

The developer rolled so much into Dave the Diver, but succeeded in that extremely difficult task. Reception has been extremely positive for Dave the Diver. Indie Games need more out of the blue titles like this game. The game has attracted a very wide fan base and is very inclusive of all walks of life.
