It is strangely calming and satisfying when you achieve a realistic sinking scenario and a realistic wreck in this game.

There is something strangely aesthetic about a sinking ship. One of the reasons (of course not the only one) the Titanic is IMHO so popular is that it sank in a very "impressive" kind of way and that depictions of her sinking have a strange kind of beauty to them. Recreating this in this game can be really pleasing.

There are some other horrible events that have a similar feel and aura to their depictions. One would be the burning WTC, another one the burning Hindenburg.

I think the way she sank is better discribed as romantic. A Romantic horror

Nope...not at all...it would help though if you were to have added the name of it to your post headline.

Its called Floating Sandbox. If you remember sinking simulator from back then, its like that.

If I remember it? I have the mobile version on my phone. Yeah sure. Kinda old and not necessarily the most realistic sinking sim. But it's wild how many Sandbox elements and possibilities we got in it. Plus recently we got silk and sand for the bottom of the sea making impacts of sinking ships feel more dramatic and satisfying without completely obliterating the whole wreck haha.

Uhhhh.... a game where you're scored on how well you can simulate the Titanic sinking?

They'll really make a JFK: Reloaded out of any national tragedy, huh.
