The Developer Says...

You are an angler haunted by huge debts. In the midst of yet another night working at sea, you catch something different: a fish which talks, and promises to make you rich... but at what cost?

Features

  • A brief (around 30 minutes) fishing horror game about debt and hopelessness. Enjoy a twisted cautionary tale in one sitting.

  • Underwater eye-cam. Watch the fish biting the lure, then retrieve it as fast as you can. Be careful though: something else may be watching you as well...

  • Fish and gut. Fly-fish like a pro, then gut your catch to keep 'em fresh. Be careful with the knife though: you don't want to cut yourself.

  • The talking fish wants a deal. Consider the alluring promises of this mysterious being through surreal dialogues and twisted choices.

  • The loan shark is coming. This is no relaxing cozy fishing experience. Your time is running out, and something horrible lurks in the water.
