About the Game

Your favorite fisherman Sime Returns... but the celebration doesn't last.

Sime and his cats sail home to the island Gologuz with a boat full of free fish.
The villagers cheer. Music plays. Life feels perfect.

By the next morning, everything changes.

The fish are gone.
The smiles disappear.
And the people who once loved Sime turn against him.

Beaten, betrayed, and left with nothing, Sime discovers that his beloved cats have been captured and scattered across the island. Armed with little more than a slappy fish and stubborn determination, he sets out to make things right.

What begins as a cheerful homecoming becomes a strange and emotional journey through a world that is far less friendly than it first appears.

Features:

• A Living Adriatic Island
Explore the sunny island of Gologuz, colorful streets, quirky villagers, hidden corners, and secrets lurking beneath the surface.

• A Story That Changes Tone
Experience a narrative that shifts from bright and humorous to tense, mysterious, and unexpectedly emotional.

• Rescue What Matters Most
Find and free Sime’s loyal cats, each hidden in unique locations across the island.

• Unconventional Combat
Fight back using the most unlikely weapon imaginable: a fresh fish, plus creative tools and environmental interactions.

• Cinematic Presentation
Dynamic cutscenes, evolving music, and a handcrafted world with a bold, unmistakably indie visual style.

• Mysteries Beneath the Surface
Not everything on Gologuz is what it seems. The deeper Sime goes, the stranger things become.

• Weird Characters & Stranger Situations
Meet odd villagers, surreal creatures, and problems that definitely shouldn’t exist.

• A Story That Goes Places You Don’t Expect
The journey grows wilder with every step, in ways best experienced firsthand.

• Pure Indie Spirit
Handmade, slightly unhinged, proudly imperfect.
