❤ Fishing and Inventory Management

As a fisherman in this remote archipelago, you'll use your trusty rod to pull an array of bizarre sea creatures from the depths. Each catch has a unique shape that must be carefully arranged in your limited inventory, creating a satisfying "fish Tetris" minigame. Selling your haul to local inhabitants earns you funds to upgrade your vessel, unlocking access to new fishing spots and dredging sites.

❤ Exploration and Progression

Your boat's upgrades - from better engines to additional cargo space - facilitate venturing further into the archipelago, but you must navigate treacherous waters, especially at night when the thick fog obscures dangerous reefs and rocky hazards. As you explore these isolated islands, you'll uncover clues and artifacts that slowly reveal the area's troubled history and your own role in the unfolding mystery.

❤ Horror and Atmosphere

The core loop of fishing, selling, and upgrading is complemented by an ever-present sense of unease. Ambient ocean sounds, creaking timbers, and unsettling musical cues cultivate a Lovecraftian atmosphere, and you never know what malevolent catch may emerge from the waves to threaten your sanity. Progressing the narrative provides meaningful context, driving you to keep fishing and dredging to unlock new abilities and information.
