A crew-based character creation system to help create a cohesive and balanced group

Submarine rules for deep sea exploration, combat, and damage
A ship-specific condition system—like consequences, but with specific effects and duration
A short introductory adventure—The Rescue of Dr. Williams

Expecting a Fate version of Blue Planet or Polaris in 50 pages was unreasonable, however I had hopes, they weren't met. On the other hand this is a small setting to play a few sessions, not a full blown book.
The game is set in the near future on Earth, with very little futuristic equipment, or any kind of popular scifi material (there are giant squids however). A few organizations and a few locations are described, sadly no terrain, or pulpy shipwrecks or detailed trenches. Only 5 or so monsters... Overall the feel is very realistic, the most dangerous enemies, even on the bottom of the ocean, are other humans.
The only real gripe I have with this, is the included adventure, it feels very undeveloped, more like a side quest. In an optimistic variant it wraps up in just 3 scenes, even with complications that would be maybe 5 scenes. Other 'worlds of adventure' have longer scenarios, this one is for just a single session.
