The Night Fisherman

You play a night fisherman smuggling goods across the English Channel toward England. When an armed stranger approaches your boat, you must decide how to respond. Direct the fisherman's actions and navigate a conversation in which your choices can shift the encounter. The story explores the tense exchange through dialogue and difficult decisions. The game unfolds as a single cinematic scene, with camera angles you can control as events play out. Choices lead to different outcomes, making the brief story interactive rather than a fixed film.

As a Channel smuggler confronted by an armed stranger, steer a tense conversation, choose your actions, and frame the scene.
