A very short but sweet horror game done entirely in the style of the original Gameboy. To make it clear, this game is short, I finished one ending in thirty minutes, but there are multiple endings to try and get. It is one of my preferred types of horror games, focused much more on making me feel uneasy over jump scaring me. The story itself is fine, pretty basic horror, but told in a compelling way to make it slightly better than average.

It goes for very cheap and it is worth a pick-up.

I'm impressed by how scary this game is for the Gameboy style it has. Definitely worth a play and doesn't take long to play at all.

A charming little game recreating old game boy games about fishing big scary sea creatures and something about a sea monster goddess that makes the lake have more cool big fish. The first play-through through the game was super charming, but the problem for me was that if you were to get what would be the good ending, it just ends up being kinda boring. The other endings are were a lot more my pace, but having to spin the stick like a tornado every single time im catching the fish messed up my thumb lmao. It definitely got tiring having to catch like 40+ fish every single run for three runs to just get the endings. Any of the initial charm that came through at the start definitely weakened itself after each consecutive run. Still cute, but I wish it was structured in such a way to make it less repetitive.

Funny horror game, short and very cute, with a hint of mystery and…fishing

A well written horror game with interesting fishing mechanics. Unfortunately the controls started to hurt my hands pretty quickly though

not crazy on the horror but a cool concept and idea, especially with the retro graphics-would def recommend if you want a short (1-2 hrs) game
