Rise and shine, campers! It’s time to crack open a cold one, cast your hook, and wait for the fish to come! The lake may look sleepy on the surface, but trust us, you just need to peer into its murky waters. If you choose to.
Welcome to Tales of Herring Lake, where your favourite Sunday fishing show meets Alfred Hitchcock. So grab your fishing gear and start shaping your story.
Tales of Herring Lake is a narrative-driven mystery-slash-fishing game taking place in real time, where you decide how the story will unfold. Do you fancy yourself more of a detective or a fisherman? Do you wish to unravel the mystery of the strange object floating in the water, explore the noise coming from the nearby cave, or maybe mind your own business, enjoy the view and try to catch some big fish? Either way, remember that the world won’t wait for you, and not making a decision is also a decision.
