Dave The Diver is an indie game that came out of left field to blow gamers away. This cute exploration/simulation title packs a surprising level of depth that its pixel exterior may otherwise not suggest. As the titular Dave, you will dive into a vast ocean to collect various marine life. This harvest will then be brought ashore to be utilized for running a sushi restaurant.

To do so, players will sell their haul at this establishment to be turned into delicious chow. In return, they will obtain money that can be spent on upgrades. But how can players sell items in the first place?
