Fishing, I believe, is the truest of all online game energy fantasies. Motion hero fight, romance want fulfilment, god like skills, all of that type of factor pales compared to the act of fishing in a sport. Simply you, your rod, and a complete load of open water. I like to fish in video video games, regardless of not being somebody that has a robust need to 100% genres like collectathons, I do love getting as many fish as I can, and I like a twist on the format. Enter Out Fishing, a mysterious sounding horror fishing sport.
The place Dredge sees you setting out into the open ocean on a ship to get the eldritch catch of the day, Out Fishing nearly takes a calmer, extra laid again strategy. You’ve got your personal little camp close to a lake, you possibly can enhance issues like your rod power and your reeling pace. Traditional gamey type of issues, belongings you’d anticipate from a cosier sport than this one, however then there’s the truth that if you happen to keep previous sundown, you are greeted with… one thing, within the forest. Do not know what, however I hate the woods at night time, so I am already just a bit bit anxious fascinated with it.
I additionally actually like one of many key options listed over on the sport’s Steam web page: “A single, horrifying objective: reel within the one factor that was by no means meant to be discovered.” That might actually imply something. A useless physique? A very bizarre fish? Repressed reminiscences of a traumatic occasion? That final one sounds seemingly provided that the devs cited Silent Hill as an affect (alongside Alan Wake and Mundaun).
What I’m interested by is how related the horror components will truly really feel to the fishing aspect of issues. I am hoping the 2 will tie into one another relatively than feeling like separate video games. I will not discover out for some time although, as there isn’t any launch date. I am going to keep on with the marginally much less scary Sega Bass Fishing within the meantime.
