this game is worse than your Britannic game make more improvements
FIRST OF ALL atleast make it so you can enter the bridge
SECOND Make it so you can go down with the ship if youre not in a life boat. Also bring this back in Titanic The Experience.
THIRD theres a bug with the lights being 60% of the lights stay on when it sinks fix it

I remember when I learned about this ship once. It has a very strange and sad story looking into the vessel. Despite that it is the worst maritime disaster in human history, when I saw it come out tonight, I knew I had to give it a green light. The ship model looks good.

Very good game. The only thing that`s missing for me is entering the bridge. I have played all your games (Titanic, Britannic and Lusitania) and I had lots of fun with this. The ship model is very well done, and when I´m playing this I feel like I were on the ship when it was sinking. Hope that there will come more games with sinking ships. Good job :) (sorry for bad english, I`m from Germany)
edit: Maybe I would like a free camera mod without sinking on daylight for exploring the ship outside :D

I got this as part of a bundle that also included Titanic: The experience, Britannic, Lusitania, and Titanic: FOAL. Since they are all a thing on their own, I will give them each their own rating as well as what I like, would like to see and fixes I would recommend.
Rating: 9.5/10
Pros: At this point, I had already tried Titanic: TE, Britannic and Titanic: FOAL, so I thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. Man, was I wrong. With the added rain, thunder and lightning, you feel like your actually there! Nothing strikes a cord more than when it flips over and the lightning is revealing the haul in the water. There are times, if you know the story behind this ship, that it makes you feel very uneasy in the best possible way while going through the simulation
Cons: A bit buggy esp if you're in the ship and the water reaches you and pushes you into a wall, few minor things us Ocean liner will notice that the casual viewer may not (i.e. The time on the clock). The Titanic sinks on the wrong side...
Fixes: A few places to explore would be nice
Recommend: Overall, I will have to say out of the bundle, this is buy far the best one and I will be returning to it!

Par for the course for the sinking games from this developer, this one did seem to have improvements modelling wise compared to the other ones which was nice.
You can walk the decks, or freecam and experience the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff. There are no interiors, and no NPC's or anything.
But knowing nothing about what happened during the ships sinking, it was cool to see how she sank. If your a ship enthusiast, or have any interest in this ship, this is a pretty cool experience.
The sinking took about 20 minutes from start to when she went underwater, which seemed a bit short since I've read it took roughly an hour. But still, a quick sinking isn't bad when there isn't much to do other than explore the ship.
Would definitely recommend for a couple bucks, and hope to see more sinking sims from this developer in the future.

Great experience! There is a lot of improvement from the last games, there is wake, smoke, and the water has collision.

A very good, accurate simulation. Fantastic work IGS! It's a very sad death count that will shock everyone who doesn't know yet. It was about 9,000 people that passed away on that ship including 5,000 children...Think about that! I never knew it sank stern first at first until it made a head trim. But if that's what happened, then that's what happened. I appreciate the 3 torpedoes and the lifeboats. If you were to make another sinking ship game, I'd suggest the SS Empress of Ireland. Overall, AWESOME job!
