Still Fishing

Submission for MixJam 12

My prompts were:

1. Gods
2. Horror
3. Fish

Which roughly correspond to plot, genre, and theme respectively. There's not much to it but I hope you like it - I definitely enjoyed making it!

Its mouth seems to move in a strange way, not the way you'd expect for the sounds that came out of it.

"Well this is the place..."

You look out over the endlessly unchanging ocean. The barnacle-crusted boat groans on the still water.

"I hope you find what you are looking for."

The battered coolbox lays open, empty.

"Better get to it then." 

The eyeless mariner turns to leave. 

"Oh, and I'd be careful about fishing up those things meant to stay in the deep."

You are an angler, drawn to the Stillwaters by old legends and recent disappearances. Now you've made a deal with some creepy old mariner who approached you in a bar and, now, you are alone in an endless ocean... Almost.

The game was developed in Unity and made entirely during the duration of the jam with some exceptions:

Sound design was done in Reaper using a mixture of free VSTs from sources such as Komplete by Native Instruments and LABS by Spitfire Audio - highly recommended!
