About this game
The Programme Notes
The loan shark is coming for you. Catch enough fish to repay your debt before it is too late. Go fish.
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.
