Really good at making the player absolutely disturbed. I like how simple and straightforward it is and yet it explains nothing XD. Fishing mechanic reminds me of Stardew Valley except more stressful (which is a good thing). Overall, really cool and bizarre game, good job! It's the first one on my video.
The relationship between the player and the fish feels completely unreliable. I almost quit the game at multiple points because of how frustrating the fish behavior was. Every other aspect of the game is very strong, so this is just a shame.
The aesthetic is really cool, but I personally would like to have a little more control over the actual fish. It seems as though it arbitrarily bounces out of the circle, even if you try and anticipate it's movement.
Honestly didn’t know what to expect, but it made for a good game. I was uneasy and the fishing was challenging but manageable. Definitely worth the play!
Hello! We are looking for a contact email to offer to bring this game to Nintendo Switch!! Could you please provide us with an email address? Thanks!!!
I enjoy fishing in games. Its one of my favorite things to waste time on so when I saw this game of course I was interested :) The fishing mechanics drove me crazy but the uneasiness of the environment and the surprise of what creepy thing id be catching next made it worth playing . The ending was very deep and I think works really well . Very nice little game !
really enjoyed the unique concept here and the visuals were brilliant not gonna lie i almost rage quit because of the fishing mechanic felt there could of been a little more control when trying to catch the fish but all in super fun little game was there more than one ending?
The concept is cool but I feel like there was too little before the poem at the end to really give you an idea of what the fisher's guilt may have been and then the poem spelt it out too clearly imo
hi, thanks for the feedback! were fully aware of this but as it was a challenge to make a game in 2 weeks we sadly didnt have time to add more lore :( there were plans of adding items you fish out like a wedding ring or some flowers, but there was no time to implement them :(
Close! That is actually a 3d model of a stingray with a face on its back we made for our game, it has many meanings and interpretations but Steve Irwin's death was not supposed to be one of them.
I had some troubles with fishing itself (but I was never born to hunt for my own food, I admit) but absolutely love how the environment grows more sinister, together with the audio, it was so effective and something I don’t see often in shorter indie games.
I know that other things were the main focus but the way the sea and the sky progressed was my favourite part, it was so gorgeous and scary.
Thanks a lot! My main focus as the art director was precisely that! Ithink we as a team paid a lot of attention to the slow progression and escalation of the atmosphere :D
It really showed. Also, one of my viewers (Capybaraforge, who I also mention in the video because the game reminded me a little of his work which I adore) was absolutely amazed by the game.
This game was "deep" without any puns. A perfect example of how your maddened mind can shift your reality into madness in a saddening manner. 5/5 stars!

No esperaba que el juego fuera tan retador, aun asi, me gusto mucho por ese final

It is a lovely game let down by the most atrocious fishing mechanic I have ever encountered. Otherwise, terrific.
thank you, what would you improve about the fishing?

W good game
thanks a lot!
Those cursed images are going to haunt me XD. Great little game, keep it up!!
Thanks a lot!
my fish is out of the circle again.
This has one of the dumbest fishing mechanics I've ever experienced. Legit just terrible
well how would you improve it?
The aesthetic is really cool, but I personally would like to have a little more control over the actual fish. It seems as though it arbitrarily bounces out of the circle, even if you try and anticipate it's movement.
oh yeah were aware of that problem, sadly our programmer doesnt have the time to fix it right now (he is busy with another project)
Well, keep up the good work! I look forward to your future projects.

The concept is cool but I feel like there was too little before the poem at the end to really give you an idea of what the fisher's guilt may have been and then the poem spelt it out too clearly imo

That's fair, really cool what you guys made in that time!
That’s literally the Stingray that killed Steve Irwin.
Close! That is actually a 3d model of a stingray with a face on its back we made for our game, it has many meanings and interpretations but Steve Irwin's death was not supposed to be one of them.
Yes, this is him.
thanks a lot for making a video on our game, I look forward to watching it! and thank you for appreciating the designs!
thank you for making a letsplay of our game!
Aside the...machinic of the fish it was fun and eerie..
what did you not like about the fishing?
I had some troubles with fishing itself (but I was never born to hunt for my own food, I admit) but absolutely love how the environment grows more sinister, together with the audio, it was so effective and something I don’t see often in shorter indie games.

It really showed. Also, one of my viewers (Capybaraforge, who I also mention in the video because the game reminded me a little of his work which I adore) was absolutely amazed by the game.
Thats absolutely crazy to me! again, thanks a lot to both you and him :)
IT'S A BIG ONE!!
BIG thanks for making the letsplay :D
the pleasure is all mine! great job on creating this great game!
looking forward to seeing more of your work.
This game was "deep" without any puns.
A perfect example of how your maddened mind can shift your reality into madness in a saddening manner. 5/5 stars!
Its the second game in my video.
thank you! glad the message of the game is easy to read, showing that descend into madness was one of our goals!
