GO PHISH

Go Fish or go homeless. In this rogue-ish debt-builder, pay your rent by phishing a target in a supercharged version of the classic card game. Crack your victim’s password in a dynamic dialogue system, then use your loadout of unlockable suits and items to hack their PC and drain their savings.

About the Game

GO PHISH is a rogue-ish debt builder that puts a souped-up spin on the classic game of Go Fish.

Collect four cards of the same value to damage an opponent’s firewall, but beware of retaliation! Unlock new suits, each with their own special ability, then craft a build with synergies that match your play style. Earn money from every hack won, and spend that money on upgrades and items to improve your odds of success.

  • Addictive and deceptively deep card battles

  • Countless customisations – a build to suit every player

  • Rogue-ish replayability, with progress made every run

Plus, a social engineering dialogue system! Boss battles pit you against fully-realised characters in a dynamic narrative minigame. Fake your way through a phone call and steer your target to reveal personal information, then use it to crack their password.

  • Profile targets to identify relevant keywords in a satisfying puzzle minigame

  • Mess up too often and you'll trigger their security – and a countdown timer

  • 16+ weird and wonderful characters with actual narratives and personalities

  • Life is merciless, and so is capitalism. You have one week to pay your $10,000 rent bill or you'll be evicted.

  • Manage your stress levels or die (that's a game over)

  • Spend wisely – an expensive upgrade could clinch victory or cost it

  • Earn items by decrypting data, or just buy them from the merchant

Peak vibes and bleak lives. Immerse yourself in a grimy world and soak up a seductive synthy soundtrack. Find your flow and work towards the satisfaction of clearing your debt.

  • 30+ unique suits with wildly different play styles and uses

  • 20+ consumable items to turn the tide of battle

  • 20+ mods for persistent buffs across hacks

  • 30+ card back arts so you can make your deck your own
