About the Game

Fish, Loot, and Fight in the Irradiated Exclusion Zone

The Collectors will pay a pretty penny for the mutated fish that can be found within radioactive waters in and around the Complex. Unfortunately, these aquatic oddities are not the only inhabitants you will encounter among the rolling hills and forests of the Calem Islands. So keep your rifle (and your rod) by your side, and go embark on the most dire fishing excursion of your life.

Red Tide Features:

  • Open World Exploration and Looting

  • Vitals, including Hunger, Thirst, and Radiation

  • Inventory Management

  • Gunplay, Quests, Merchants, and Various Unsightly Enemies

  • Day Night Cycle

  • Equipment Upgrades

and everything else you would expect in your typical extraction game.

Team Up with Others In a 5-Player Online Co-Op Experience 

Whether you are a one-man army or a band of brothers, the inhospitable lands upon which the Complex once sprawled sit waiting to be explored. Though be warned, better adventurers before you have tried, and the luckiest among them left only with their life. Featuring proximity voice chat and lobbies supporting up to 5 players, bring your friends or go it on your own.

Sell Mutated Fish to the Collectors

Some glow in the dark, some have six eyes. Some possess Lovecraftian qualities beyond description. Each fish you catch is unique and worth more or less to the Collectors depending on the aforementioned strange yet remarkable characteristics. Try to collect them all, if the Islands don't chew you up and spit you back out first.

Dodge the Game Wardens Patrolling the Wasteland

Be warned, the Order has deemed your presence on the Islands to be unlawful. Plundering the natural (and not-so-natural) resources of land in and around Complex property comes with the heaviest of penalties: death. If you are going to fish among the competing presence of heavily armed conservation officers, you best take the time to properly equip yourself first.

In Red Tide, your progression is tied to your character, and you can expect a highly replayable experience each time you bring yourself back to the Islands. Strap in for random weather events, anomalies, cryptids, scavengers, and a plethora of strange scaly friends all eagerly awaiting your acquaintance. Do you have what it takes?
