And this new mobile version is packing some fresh heat:

  • Touch friendly controls designed specifically for mobile devices, letting you swipe, tap, and poke your screen to conquer the depths of the Gungeon

  • A brand new playable character: The Lamb! Take on the Gungeon as Cult of the Lamb’s fleecy hero, with new abilities inspired by the hit cult simulator

First-Person Horror Fishing Sim Out Fishing Announced

18th of June – Somewhere in the Woods, Probably (in reality, it’s Paris and Perth)…It’s just you, a rod, and whatever that’s crawling through the fog.

Out Fishing is a new first-person horror fishing game that lures players to a remote lake where the forest whispers and the fish aren’t the only things watching. Announced by developer Mūn Mūn Games and publisher UNIKAT Label (behind POOLS, Dystopika), Out Fishing is coming to PC. You can watch the debut trailer below.

Out Fishing blends the chill routine of a job sim with the creeping dread of psychological horror, all wrapped in a foggy wilderness you probably shouldn’t be in. In short: fish by day, flee by night. 

Build your camp. Upgrade your tools. Catch that fish. Make profit. And try not to lose your mind as you’re freaking out wondering “Why is this fish that I’m holding is talking to me?!?”

FEATURES:

  • A horror story you experience at your own pace, told through exploration, fishing, strange visions, and unsettling finds.
  • Upgrades and tools to access deeper waters, stranger areas, and the woods, even though the woods do not want you. And profit. Can’t forget profit. 
  • Light survival mechanics that focus on tension, not inventory spreadsheets.
  • A shifting day-night cycle that affects the fish, the forest, and the things you were told aren’t real.
  • A hauntingly quiet world full of memory echoes, half-truths, and one unspeakable goal: Reel in the thing that should’ve stayed buried.

Out Fishing is coming to PC. Wishlist it on Steam now. Or don’t. That’s your choice. But the lake remembers.
