Intriguing! This was really pretty and the ending was, for me, unexpected. I enjoyed it! Thank you! Yours is the second game played, @6:42

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it !

Lure is a walking horror sim. To tell more about it would be spoiling the entire game so I advise you to try it instead. It's short, free and a recommendation.
It runs more than well on Steam Deck as you can see by pressing the link above.

A really fun short horror game, I really enjoy the graphics and the ending was great. Thank you for sharing your game have a great day :D


Fourth in the line up. A fine short bit of weird fishing related horror. Such a great little twist with just enough build up.

Hi, I played your game. It was a great creation of you, very creative.

Short and sweet, game was well made . Story was easy to follow and the jumpscare was perfect ! Good job !

I made a playthrough on the game if you're interested :)

Thanks for playing!

nice work =)

Thank you!

Hello, is there any way I can change the screen size of this game? I'm wanting to run it in a smaller window :)

Unfortunately not at this stage, thanks for letting us know – we will look to see if we can add that in a future update.

Your game is the third in this video.

Thanks for playing!

Loved this game alot from the feel the atmosphere gave to the unexpected end. I am a sucker for these types of games that have some japanese shrine involved. Good job devs keep making more!

Thank you for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it!

Played your game at 6:49. A fun short horror game!

Check out my video.

Hahaha I had way too much fun with that thumbnail!

Like that thumbnail lol thats creative.

Featured this game to start off an Itch.io horror pack recently, it was a fun little short game for Halloween! We both enjoyed the setting and found the ending pretty entertaining. Our playthrough starts around a minute in :)

Thanks for playing!

I love this game :D

Olá, venho através desse texto dizer que simplesmente amei demais esse jogo, fiz uma gameplay e tomei alguns sustos que me deixou bem satisfeito. FIca aqui minha recomendação, não só pra assistir essa gameplay, como também pra jogar e sentir essa experiencia incrivel que é desse jogo. Sucesso a todos que fizeram também gameplays, Tamo juntos.

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!

That got me good. Very creepy atmosphere and a good ending.

short but fun! Loved the graphical style!

Thanks for the review!

easy game :D

Old man tryna FIGHT! My fishes now! good game 

Loved the video, thanks for playing.

Short, but incredibly beautiful.  One of my favorite indie horror games!

That's amazing to hear, thank you for playing!

Even I can fish better than that guy! But hey! Amazing little game :D I may be reading to much into it with the 'he got punished for getting greedy and fishing more than one fish' bit :p

Thanks for playing, enjoyed your reaction to the ending.

Was a pretty neat game! The attention to detail was well done; how the character can't fish in the other location the third time and then the old man disappears if the player decides to go back were really small but nice touches that adds to the overall game! Only thing I would suggest would be to have a small backstory and some hints of the large fish in the shrine to tie everything together, but this was still well made, short and fun to play!

Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed the game!

Short sweet easy. Very nice game it got me

Thanks for checking out our game.

Oh give me love to all the team members ty

The ending caught me by surprise that it scared me. Good game

Very Short and simplistic Horror game. Got me in the end, lighting and shadows were fantastic. I'll rate it a 4/5 was a bit to short for me.

Thanks for playing!

I
Short and to the point with an interesting message.
