Steam Store description

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.
