Welcome to Fishing Horror 2, a 14-day game jam where fishing isn’t just a hobby, it’s also terrifying.
Your game should put players on edge, whether through psychological tension, monstrous chaos, or quiet, creeping dread… as long as fishing is at the center.

--------------

Take it literal with rods and reels, or get creative with strange bait, deep-sea dives, cursed rituals, or unknown horrors beneath the waves. 

This time around, story matters. 

Your game should include some narrative or context to immerse players, and at least a few NPCs to interact with...friends, foes, or mysterious locals who add to the tension. 

----------------------

Rules

Fishing must be a main gameplay mechanic, not just a side activity.
The game must lean into horror.
Include a story and some NPCs.
Any engine or tools are allowed.
Solo or team entries are welcome.
Reused code and assets are fine, but games must be created during the jam. 


------------------

Ideas to Get You Started

You could make a small fishing town hiding dark secrets.
NPCs giving cryptic advice or ominous warnings.
Haunted lakes or cursed oceans.
bait that affects your sanity or the world around you.
Use player logs, journals, or NPC dialogue to reveal hidden lore.
