9 itemsAbout the Game
Out Fishing is a first-person horror fishing game, where you try to rebuild your life at an abandoned lake haunted by the memories of a forgotten disappearance. Fish during the day, upgrade your gear, build your camp, and earn an income. However, stay too long after sunset, and you’ll find that danger moves through the forest, hides in the fog, and sometimes rises from the water when the lights go out.
FISH BY DAY
Explore a calm yet unsettling wilderness. Search for rare fish and scattered remnants of the past. Time is your enemy, but the farther you go, the closer you get to the truth. Use what you catch to improve your equipment and your lakeside hideout - a fragile safe zone where the line between memory and hallucination starts to blur.
FEAR BY NIGHT
Each night unfolds the nightmare a little further through cryptic encounters and unsettling discoveries, echoing the psychological dread of games like Alan Wake, Mundaun, or Silent Hill. What begins as a simple task becomes a descent into obsession, where you are slowly losing your grip on reality.
