Reception

According to Metacritic, PC Master and GameOver.gr favorably reviewed the game.[3][4] PC Master speaks of an "unbelievable, beautiful, emotionally charged adventure" and "an unforgettable, dreamy journey that every adventure-gamer should experience".[3] GameOver.gr notes the slow pacing rhythm of the game, asking the player to immerse themselves in the game to enjoy it and salutes "an excellent narrative, a beautiful art style, and wonderful music that trigger all kinds of memories of dreams we've forgotten or we never knew we had".[5]

For Rock, Paper, Shotgun, the game emphasizes in the quality of the text and the narrative, which sometimes could overload the player.[1]

The Sea Will Claim Everything was nominated at the Telegraph video game awards 2012 for the Best Original Script.[6] It has been included in the IndieGames.com's best of the year lists, at the second position for indie adventure games[7] and twelfth in the overall top.[8]
