Welcome to Deep Cast, a single-player game jam focused on fishing, atmosphere, and meaningful progression.

In this jam, you’ll create a solo fishing game where the player explores, catches fish, and progresses through a world shaped by their actions. Your game can be calm, mysterious, cozy, or intense — as long as fishing is at the core.

This jam is all about depth: deep waters, deep mechanics, or deep stories.

🐟 Theme:

Fishing Into the Unknown

Your game should include:

Single-player fishing gameplay
