Why this game has so small number of rates. Game is absolutely amazing!

Nice work! I like the combination of horror and fishing, and the forest atmosphere is very eery. Fishing mechanic is nicely implemented.

A well's gotta eat! Love the visuals and the audio. The trees swaying and the sign spinning were nice polish. Good job!

Really nice atmosphere.

The sound design works well too.
Short and sweet, nice job!
 I’d love to hear your thoughts on our game as well if you get the chance.

I liked it. It would be nice to see a full version with more varied endings, and I’d also like to see the story more deeply integrated into the game

Hit a couple bugs with casting, sometimes it would cast immediately after catching a fish and sometimes when casting it would fly way to the left, but didn't impact the game too much. I do like your take on the fishing minigame, but a bit more variety to it would make for some deeper gameplay. Also, a noise or effect or something when you first get a fish on hook would help with the game feel of the fishing. The visuals and the audio were overall really well done, I really like the pixelated look you have. I enjoyed my time playing.

Very atmospheric! The fishing minigame gets a bit repetitive, but the game is short, so it doesn't overstay its welcome. I enjoyed my time with this one!

Nice, really liked the spinning sign to give extra instructions. Story telling through weird fish is very Dredge. I would have liked to see more of the fish models as you can only really see them from one angle after you've caught them so I couldn't fully appreciate their weirdness.

A crazy atmosphere. I really liked it. At first I didn't understand the fishing, but apparently you have to wait a bit for the fish to bite the hook. The sky is quite beautiful during the day/night cycle. The story looks good too. I haven't finished the game yet, but I will. I liked it.

Congratulations.

Thanks!

Hello, can you help how to fish? I'm throwing the fishing rod but don't get the mechanics.  The green bar you mentioned in the game page is not visible. Am I doing it wrong?

you gotta wait until the bobber starts shaking and then press LMB to enter the reeling state with the green bar. probably should've mentioned that.
