About the Game

Don't be fooled by the "fishing" part, this tip to the sea is to DIE for...

Arriving after death in the underworld, a rotting corpse participates in a HELLISH fishing tournament. The grand prize? A RETURN to the LAND OF THE LIVING! So get out there and FISH like your LIFE depends on it! But watch out, each swim with the fishes could be your LAST!

Earn CREDITS from theĀ SHOP REAPER to buy the netgun, the multi-ammo type speargun, floating sea mines and more. Carve the scales from your enemies in brutal knife combat and craft different PERKS! Enhance maximum lung capacity, or purchase a diving bell to extend aquatic expeditions and harvest the bounty of the seafloor! Swimming to slow? Boat handles like a shopping cart? The upgrades are all there for you to craft and get an EDGE on the competition!

Best of all, CAPTURE and TAME the "Peril Porpoise" to use it to FIGHT FOR YOU! Training a killer mammal from HELL truly changes the game, opening up new ways of approaching undersea combat!

Bait the hook. Catch the fish. Win the tournament...or die AGAIN trying!
