About the Game

Have you heard the legend of the mourning fisherman? A tale told in hushed whispers and furtive glances. Of a man, burdened by regrets too heavy for the shore, who sailed into waters where men dare not to go. Did he seek peace? Redemption? Pray not. For the sea gives neither.

A Sea of Terrors

You are the fisherman, adrift for time unknown in a place where the bustle of port is but a distant memory. Out here it’s just you, the fish, and your memories. Cast your line. Wait for a bite. Pull hard. But this place is not as it seems. And the tides never forget.

A Unique Fishing Experience

More than your simple fishing minigame. Mourning Tide features a unique system that rewards your skill and evolves as you progress. Each fish behaves differently and requires quick thinking to overcome.

Nightmares From the Depths

Uncover increasingly horrifying creatures with each catch. You never know what you might pull out of the sea.
