About the Game

Draft your gear. Catch your fortune.

A fishing roguelite about drafting the perfect build so you can pay off your debt before the Loan Shark eats you.

Each run, you’ll draft rods, reels, line, chum, and even beer, combining keywords to create powerful synergies. Do you bet everything on one perfect catch? Maybe you turn trash into treasure. Every draft reshapes the run.

The interest is brutal and you have a debt to pay. 

Maps and Anglers:

Each map has new gear sets introducing totally new ways to play, a different catching mini-game, and a few surprises. Unlocked anglers provide different passives and new ways to progress.

Meta-Progression

Earn money to buy progression after each run.

  • Reduce the loan shark's interest.

  • Bring more bait.

  • Unlock Rangoon?!
