fishy
A Fishy RPG is a game focused on survival and exploration. It’s also a fishing game, in the way that this is the main mechanism to gain experience, improve your stats and progress through the game. The main objective is to find the legendary fishes. In order to do so, you must improve your stats to be able to explore deeper caves and also improve your fishing rod to be able to catch rarer fish easier. Even though the game is built towards a specific story, it also offers the possibility of free exploration in a procedurally generated universe.
Features:
– Procedurally generated map and caves;
– 3.000 unique and procedurally generated fish to catch;
– Save and load the game at any point;
– Engaging fishing mechanism;
– Four playable characters;
– Stats to improve (power, defense and speed);
– Equipment to improve (fishing rod and gun);
– Wild life, besides the fish, to hunt (and be hunted!)…
– …
– Eight legendary fish.
Regarding the caves/layers, fishing rod and legendary fish
You move from one layer to another (deeper caves) through portals. Be sure to upgrade your gun so you can break the rocks to access deeper levels. And, of course, be sure to upgrade your stats before going too deep :). Your fishing rod as well as your current layer/cave determine the range of fish you may catch. Now go catch some fishhhh.

Fishy is a super short, cute, free game all about acceptance and inclusivity with very light anxiety-based psychological horror. 4/10

This game is super Cute and Relatable, although I don't personally have a fear of the Ocean (Quite the opposite in fact) the Idea of being Abandoned by people that you thought of as your friends played ith my heart strings <3

Fishy is a short yet intriguing entry in the Spooktober Jam from 2021, and the team has a created a nice jam during the month they worked on.
The game follows a nameless protagonist (that you get to name), who has an intense fear of water - and to her horror her classmate decided to host her birthday party and sleepover at the local aquarium. Will the protagonist work through her fear of the underwater world, or will she succumb to nightmarish visions?
I wouldn't say much because you'd probably play the VN faster than you can read a review about it, but I will not that the I did enjoy on the note the game ended on but also wish there was a bit more focus on the horror present in the game.
