A Wonderful Day For Fishing
A downloadable experiment for Windows
An experimental horror game I made in a weekend, exploring isolation, the uncanny valley, and repetition as core concepts. You play as a lonely man out at sea for a lovely day of fishing. A mood piece.

I love this game its so cool!
Wish there was an ending, still an awesome game tho! Lots of random freaky fish and all sort of stuff that can happen!

10 out of 5 stars but u should be able to cook the fish and then donate them to an orphanage so they dont go to waste otherwise the fish just kinda rot in the boat and thats weird yeah oh man my butt is super itchy
One of my favorite fishing horror games. I loved the variety of fish and other things you could catch.
Without any music and only the ocean sound, the mood is immediately set and I can immediately feel the isolation portion! Some of those changes were down right nuts, and I loved it! Really made me feel like "This is what will happen in isolation. You'll go crazy"!
The only suggestion I would have for this game is that I do with there would be a bit more ways to interact with the character. While I know that seems to be never intended, I still think it might help, and add some interest in finding different endings!
Really liked it and hope you the best! :)
Looking for a new horror game to play, but i don’t do well with jumpscares. does this have any?
No loud jumpscares! There are a few "surprise" moments that are revealed by menus closing but there are no loud, abrupt sounds to accompany them. Hope that helps!
I was playing this game late at night and it unnerved me in so many ways.
I love this game but try adding a little bit more horror and endings
Very cool in theory, but needs a bit of work. I ate a bunch of different fish and nothing really happened,, I only got any sort of reaction for 2 of the fish (out of like 20+). The red cube made me sink, but the game didn't end. Then I had trouble actually exiting, as the game sort of glitched out and alt-f4 wouldn't close it. This could be built up into a really great game, but what exists now seems like merely an unfinished foundation
I loved the game, it was very detailed and calming . I love the part where you can eat the fish, although I wish there was more to it. I'd love to get the man on the boat's number, but anyway. 50 fish out of wow.
is catching fish manual? becaue npthing is happening.
It would be cool if this was ported to flash/web.gl/html and could be played in a browser.
The idea of this game as a psychologival horror is pretty good, but other than that, there's not much to it which can hold the attention of the player. My suggestions:
I Tried The Game. And I'll Give This Game A 7 Out of 10.Link To The Video
the download wont work
Gave it a go...
Thanks for the weirdass game. I have no idea what the goal was but I did a thing I guess, lol. Here's my Twitch playthrough.
Well, I had fun playing overall but I got really bored eventually. It was too repetitive for me, and I honestly had no idea if the game even had an end to it.
Eat the cube of meat.
a wonderful day of fishing- 00:23
Love the game wondering there is a an end game to it because if the character was fully in the bloody water i could still fishVery.... um.... interesting game. I do think the idea is interesting but there seems to need to be more to it. Something to keep the player more interested. Even though the video is only 7 minutes long, it's edited down quite a bit from about 30 minutes of me just clicking. Either way though, I like the concept and the original horror idea.
i love fishing bffs for fishing
okay, seriously, how do you exit. I need to do school.
Edit: Had to restart my computer to exit. Likely won't be playing this game again because with all of the tabs I have open, it's inconvenient to restart my computer to exit a game. I pressed literally all the buttons on my keyboard and nothing happened, so I would recommend adding a way to exit. Or at least a more obvious way.
have you heard of "alt f4" ? it's a good way to force quit any aplication
I had the same issue and Alt F4 didnt help. Nor did CTRL+ALT+DEL. I had to manually restart.
I think this game was incredibly interesting. Just a good creep factor that makes it so intriguing, and wanting to play to discover more. However, it began to grow repetitive and rather boring as you continue to catch the same fish and eating or releasing seems to have no impact on the game play. I actually got excited when it started raining, though I'm not sure if it was always raining.
More variety would be nice, and I also can't figure out how to exit the game, haha.
Nice to see something so unique, and so surprisingly calm yet disturbing.
Nice to see a bit different take on horror. A relaxing fishing game with a few suprises. You did this one really good Nicklives.
I enjoying the slow gameplay and fishing experience. Cute and simple graphic. Good variety of fishes to catch even if they later comes back more often. The only thing i missed was some different sound in the background. The wind does a good job, but some bird sound or something to change it up would been nice too.
I gonna try out more of you games Nick. Really like what you did with this game.
well i sunk into the red and the game kept going so yay
What an interesting game.. I think I became Aquaman? But I lost my eyes for a second.. I think I had fun fishing!
What a delightfully unnerving game this was...
