In Mysteries Under Lake Ophelia you play as a young kid who has decided to fish at the titular Lake Ophelia. You'll find yourself simply fishing the day away and trading in those fish for either a yummy meal or some new gear.

cheaper than a fishing rod
a sensação que eu tive na primeira vez que pesquei um peixe foi bem parecida com o final desse jogo
Just wish there was more areas to walk around because wow is this game cool, ending is creepy but kinda feels like uhh not that intense or special. This is fun tho, solid game design fundamentals at work to make an eerie lil fishing game, way more special than Dredge ever was for me LOL
This is a really cool idea that kinda feels half-realized. The fishing mechanics are bare-bones and for all the good work they do building atmosphere and a sense of mystery, the ending is a complete wet fart. I enjoyed my time with the game and I'd love to play a sequel that fleshes everything out a bit more.
I hope one day we can get the version brcye was making before he got burnt out making fish models

Really loved the utilisation PS1-style graphics, the presentation, music and lack of tutorial really helped establish an unsettling atmosphere. The gameplay may very simple and repetitive, but the strategy and sense of progression surrounding your equipment helped combat this somewhat. Discovering a new fish or finally catching one that has been giving you trouble and seeing how much you are able to sell it for is very rewarding (not to mention those awesome 3D models). Fleshing out the cooking and sleep mechanics could’ve added some much needed depth.
The story (or lack there of) is a real let down. You are spoon fed some intriguing information and questions that keeps you engaged. Mainly what are all these exotic fish doing in the lake and what is that strange glow in its centre. The mystery is completely thrown in the bin for some abstract imagery.
In short, don’t play this for the mystery, play for the funny fish.
