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. :)
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.
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.
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).
Short game but I had fun. Got me interested in some more of the lore if there is any, but the game speaks for itself and stands up on its own for what it is.
Hello! Your project has caught our attention, and we would love to learn more about it. Please reach out to us via email at wtcdpublisher@gmail.com. We’d be happy to discuss a potential partnership!
Takže... Odehráno za 10 min, a jsem docela ohromen, musím napsat opravdu dobrá práce! Nevím co tu lidi brečí že je to moc těžký a frustrující xD recenze mi moc psát nejdou ale na tohle musím zareagovat prostě, cením hlavně originalitu co hra nabízí protože sem tohle nikdy u žádné jiné hry nezažil takže za mě 10/10 :) A určitě se budu těšit na vaše další projekty.
amazing concept, i only wish i could finish it. last couple of fish are just too hard to catch, i lost the will to keep trying when no matter what i did, it would just randomly fly outside the circle, and the meter would just drop. any progress i made was instantly gone and i was left even further than where i was over something i had absolutely no control over. i love the concept, as i said. but where it stands, i dont want to spend the next half hour or longer just hoping the game allows me the good luck to catch them. sorry i couldnt finish it.
thanks for making the game in the first place!! I would be super happy to give it another go if you ever update it, maybe adding an easy mode or make the fish movement a tiny bit less erratic or something?? I'll definitely be keeping an eye out on what you and the rest of the team work on tho. This game taps into a weird otherworldly thalassophobia and I love it. Keep up the awesome work <3
No spoilers about what happens in the game, only comments on mechanics:
I was really enjoying the game and thought it was a creepy yet fun experience where I'm fishing in a cursed ocean. But my enjoyment turned to rage when I started attempting to catch the last fish. I was trying for 30 minutes and could not manage to catch it. I tried anticipating the moments where it will just randomly shoot out into a random direction, I tried just moving my mouse in circles, I tried everything and I could not catch the last fish. I think this game is a great experience up until that fish.
The two solutions I can think of to fix it is to one, just make its movements less erratic and easier to anticipate or two, lower the rate at which the meter decreases while the fish is out of the circle. I felt that the fish would just shoot really far out of the circle at random and I wouldn't have enough time to get it all the way back in because the meter would decrease so fast. This game was super cool but I feel like it's a bad sign when a horror game turns from fascination and fear to frustration.
I'm sorry if I seem so harsh with the last fish I do not intend to bash you as a developer in anyway because I truly did enjoy this game and its aesthetic a whole boat load (pun intended). The fish designs and the sounds they made when I caught them really freaked me out. The changes in the ocean as I caught more fish was another really good, unsettling detail. You made a real good horror experience, but that last fish was just way too difficult. That is my only criticism.
thanks a lot for your feedback sadly it would be a little too difficult to implement for our programmer as he is working on another project right now, I'm happy you liked the setting + vibe of our game tho :) - art director
this game is terrible i can’t catch anything no matter which way i *move my mouse. reel depletes way faster than it reels the fish in. terrible terrible terrible.
EDIT; for some reason a while after posting this the fish became much more docile and easier to catch? must have been a bug where the fish moved too much
EDIT 2: this bug seems to be on and off. the fish either stay in the circle or move so much it is quite literally impossible for me to keep them still. not fun
Aesthetics and sound design really nice. I think it's an interesting idea that just doesn't have enough development in it. Having a poem at the end in silence to put context for everything kind of dampened on the storytelling for me. Also the final fish is a little too obnoxious to catch for my taste. I know its meant to be on purpose I imagine, but I think the pacing and mood is a bit shifted when spending so long on the fish.
I think for the short time it had in development it's really neat!

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

Wasn't expecting that ending...
Good stuff, devs, looking forward to more games!

Cool game, could use some polish but still fun.
Very good.

Líbil se mi art style jak svině, mělo to úžasnou atmosféru, akorát mě naštval potrat na konci.
I enjoyed the game!
