is *Chefs Kiss*Me encanto, 10/10, espero con ansias mas juegos asi :)
thank you :)
What a beautiful, bizarre and great game! Keep up the awesome work!
love it!
super cool game! being a fellow game design student from central europe its really cool seeing people make similar games ;D good luck cant wait to see more of your work!
thanks a lot!!! :D
Wasn't expecting the twist at the end very well made! love the style and setting would love to see this expanded upon! also I recorded a let's play if you would like to watch feel free thanks!
tbh the games short, hard, but kinda fun. also who would throw a baby in the lake (thats what i said, when i reached the ending.) but there are afew things that bother me, like the camera being all weird when i try to look a spiffic way (i played on the switch version.) and that you have to move your view around to fish (wich i believe is supposed to be apart of the game, wich is fine.) but other than those, its a fun game.
btw if anyone sees this and doesn't know how to catch a fish, look in the water, then interact with it, and when it shows your catching something, move the camera around, because the wire (i dont know what that string part is, because i only fished once irl, and i was very young back then.) seems to follow the string.
i just saw afew comments not knowing how to fish, and i felt like saying that, because i dont really see any ways to fish for the switch version (kinda makes sence since the switch is easyer to learn.
yeah, its the same for pc (dont mind me, i am a complete dumbass. :)
HELL YEAH FISHING HORROR YEAHHH 🎣
This was a great example of what makes fishing such a perfect vessel for horror. The inherent mystery of what you are going to pull out of the water ( a terrifying place already) and that horrible feeling when you see you've pulled something writhing in agony? *chefs kiss*
I would absolutely have played for another hour if there had been more types to pull.
BUT! oh my god fishing out the wife?? nearly killed me. why was she so hard to pull?? 😭😭😭totally humiliated myself lol BUT IT IS POSSIBLE!
Posting here because I can't find anywhere else to comment but the Switch version seems to be completely broken to near unplayability. I absolutely cannot figure out how the fishing works. Nothing I do really seems to keep the fish in the little circle to catch it. Also the camera controls are baffling to say the least. It's impossible to look side to side, the smallest flick of the stick sends the camera off diagonally. It's only $2 but still, I legitimately can't tell if I'm doing something wrong.
Hello, thank you for the notice. We are currently looking into it and working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We're very sorry for the inconvenience.
Let us know when its fixed please. I was looking forword to this to. I cant cast the road at all.
What a beautiful, bizarre and great game! Keep up the awesome work!
hey! fancy seeing you here! lol
Hey! How are you?!
can’t complain! this game made me nearly pass out tho 😂😂 i held my breath the entire time i tried to fish out the wife!
and they say gaming isn’t a sport 🤷🏻♀️
Well that was an Experience...
La sensibilidad a la hora de pescar es... Terrible, en serio. Desde lo que está en el lado derecho del barco, por alguna razón, de repente gira todo el camino hacia la izquierda y, a veces, incluso hacia lugares extraños como el cielo.
Thank you for the game! I love the concept of a fisherman gone out to sea to escape his guilt, only to relive his actions in a horrifying manner. The ambience was perfect and the poem at the end really tied it together.
Good horror game
Игра хорошая, но, если честно, последняя рыба портит всё впечатление об игре, потому что на протяжении получаса я не смог её поймать и забросил это дело.
Было интересно, чем же всё закончится, поэтому посмотрел прохождение у других людей.
Не знаю в чём проблема: мои кривые руки или слишком резкая рыба.
What are the sins he made, and what did it mean? im too stupid to understand so just explain bruh. I think its about how he thought his wife was unfaithful and so he destroyed his marriage by leaving her only to find out she wasnt unfaithful but idek so lmk.
(SPOILERS) I believe he killed his wife (hence the sins) in jealousy, and as a consequence, the baby she was pregnant with (probably his as well, considering the ending message implies she wasn't actually having an affair).

Pretty weird and unique, my peanut brain cant understand the hidden meaning but good job to the devs.
