About the Game

A relaxing hiatus from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Sit in a remote corner of the world, drop a line, and see what bites.

Beneath the Surface is a short and relaxing fishing game. The gameplay involves simply dropping a line and waiting for a bite. You can upgrade your fishing rod to be quicker and your line to go deeper. The deeper you go, the more curious and delightful your catches get!

This is my first indie venture after working for some bigger studios. I've had practice making mods and fishing games in the past so I thought I'd put my experience toward something that could help me relax a little. I hope it helps you too!
