Reviews

“Fishing Vacation is possibly the best horror game released for the 2020 Fishing Horror Jam.”
ScreenRant

“...satisfying fishing mechanics that, while simple, divert your attention away from spooky shapes flitting between trees in the woods and the eyes watching from the water.”
Kotaku

“Fishing Vacation is more charming than terrifying, but there are some eerie moments and it’s fun digging into the lore of the lake. The retro Game Boy styled visuals are excellent, it has multiple endings to discover and the fishing is genuinely fun – largely because you never know what you’re going to pull up from the depths. A fantastic freaky little fishing expedition well worth taking.”

About This Game

It's the vacation you've been waiting for!
You and your buddy have the keys to their uncle's cabin up in the mountains near the best lake you've ever fished at! The ecology has seemed to change since you've last been there though, and the uncle is no where to be found... but don't let that stop you from reeling in a big one!

Fishing Vacation is an homage to Gameboy games of the past. The game is part fishing adventure, part atmospheric horror with a good dose of humor. Over the span of 3 days you'll dig up your own worms and catch your own dinner as you uncover the mysteries of the vacant cabin and the whereabouts of your friend's uncle and their family.

The game features:
-Over 30 types of fish and creatures to catch
-A humorously horrific story
-3+ endings (Roughly 30 mins to an hour per playthrough)
-10+ color palettes to choose from

-CONTROLS-
A and B are Z and X on the keyboard. A controller is recommended to play.
