An indie scuba diving game is currently blowing up on Steam, with a concurrent player count on par with Call of Duty. Here's what makes it so special.
Steam is a wide ocean of games and only a select few ever really rise to the top. Every once in a while, though, a smaller indie gem makes its way to the surface and emerges as a breakout success. We’ve seen it previously with games like Among Us, Loop Hero, and Valheim, but this summer’s surprise hit is making an especially big splash. I mean, when’s the last time you saw a 2D fishing game earn more concurrent players than Call of Duty? That’s exactly what’s happening with Dave the Diver.
Recommended Videos So, what makes Dave the Diver so special? There’s a whole lot to love in this summertime hit. The basic premise is that players take the role of Dave, a scuba diver who’s tasked with gathering supplies for a seaside sushi shop. During the day, he pops into the ocean to harpoon fish and harvest ingredients. That part of it plays out a bit like Steamworld Dig, where players grab as much as they can carry and return it to the surface before their oxygen runs out. There’s a lot of good old-fashioned risk-reward there, as wiping out means dropping almost everything.
Those two ideas work together like a well-oiled machine. Diving gives Dave fish that he can turn into sushi, which can be sold to upgrade his diving equipment for more fruitful runs. It’s a tightly wound progression loop that makes each day and night feel productive. And that’s only a small portion of its rewarding hooks too.
