Mourning Tide - A Fishing Horror Game with unimaginable 'fishes'

Mourning Tide is a first person PSX style fishing game but combined with horror elements, developed by a small Czech team - Liquid Squid.

The game is about a guilt-ridden fisherman sails into forbidden waters. With each catch, echoes of his past rise to the surface. Unravel the truth, seek redemption’s light - or be claimed by the Mourning Tide.

The demo begins on a boat, at sea without any sign of shore or island. You head out and cast your fishing rod to begin fishing. Each type of fish has its own unique movement pattern, you’ll need to read their behavior and time your pulls to catch them. The fishing mechanics grow increasingly challenging, rewarding skill and adapting as you progress. Every fish demands a different strategy, pushing you to refine your approach.

Towards the end, it also introduces fish that pose a real challenge, new players may need several attempts to beat it. It ends with a “boss” encounter, where you catch the final fish and trigger a cutscene.

Personally, I'm exciting to see what kinds of monstrous creatures the developer might put into the sea in for the full release.
