Really nice homage/ interactive retelling of the opening scene from a certain movie. If I had to change anything I would not use the exact same lines from the movie, so that the reveal could be a little more unexpected.


All in all, a nice interactive experience

Thanks for playing! I believe I only directly lifted one line, which comes quite near the end, maybe I accidentally used more? But yeah, I deeply love that scene, and I unfortunately connect with it more and more these days... :( Anyway, glad you enjoyed!

Yeah, I was thinking the same. I liked the setting, the artstyle, the atmosphere and the possibility to change the camera angles at any time, but the dialogue structure and the wording in the second half were too close to the original movie.

I love this movie and especially this scene too, but for the game you should have changed it a bit more in my opinion.

But nonetheless it's a nice game :)

I agree with Ozzy and Rocket, I think the connections between "a certain film" are more than a line at the end, which is exactly what made this game compelling to me. The film scene in question concerned nazis, who earned their considerable representation in the pantheon of fictional villians. By recasting a familiar scene into a new setting with a new antagonist, The Night Fisherman is a reminder that the evil of xenophobia isn't limited to historical boogiemen. You could make or remake this game a thousand ways, taking place in almost any time and any place (including the USA right now) and the story would still be true.

This is what I was going for :) it wasn't imitation for imitation's sake, haha. Although there's only (I believe) one directly copied line, there's obviously a lot of the dialogue/structure that I fairly unashamedly reinterpreted for the English Channel context.
