Anglerfish
2nd version is up ! Full screen no more breaks the game, and dialogue has been expanded a little. I think I can call this game complete now that I have fixed some details. Better complete than perfect !
___
I present to you Anglerfish, a little game made for the 2D Spooky Game Jam 2022.
Additional submission to the Cosmic Horrors Jam ! (it fits so I sits)
There are THREE endings, one of which the true one to the story.
Had a lot of fun making it. There shouldn't be any terrible bugs, fingers crossed, but please let me know if you notice any !

YOO!! REALLY nice game. Loved interacting with almost everything, it's small but i love when devs have that option for you to do that :] i loved the atmosphere this game has!! Very bleak, and yet captivating all the same. The premise is cool and original, and i LOVE the art!!
It's so nice thank you ! I'm glad people keep finding this game hehe
Makes me want to get back into it !!
Thank you so so much
This is fantastic! I was so confused about why I died because of the kid at first, but when I played some more at all made sense. I ended up picking up the whale book and greatly enjoyed showing the anglerfish whale pictures.
Thank you so much !! :D It makes me very happy to know people are still finding and playing this, hehe, happy you had fun !
I loved this game! The art style and humor is just :D
Out of curiosity, have you listened to the Magnus Archives?
Thank you !!
Yep, I have :D I know exactly which episode you're thinking of. It's definitely an inspiration, with the "repeating the same words" thing.
Really like the art and I tried all three endings. Love the dialogues. :D
Thank you so much for the kind words :D
I had a lot of fun playing and replaying it to get all the little bits of dialog (and the three endings!) ! The aesthetic is lovely and the sounds really add to the eerie ambiance...
Thank you so much :D and credits to you as my beta tester and pompom witch <3
ooo I got little spook shivers at the first ending I found, I still need to find the rest
huh I found a good ending on the second try, I have no idea where to look for the third
Hello there ! Thank you so much for playing, I'm glad you took the time to look for different endings.
Spoiler(ish) for the endings :
There is one bad, one neutral and one good. The neutral one can happen when you speak to the old lady but decide not to go along.
I was scared the game wouldn't set the tone right for the first spook, so I'm glad you were spooked :) I was planning to add more spooky elements but ran out of time so fast (48 hours jam after all).
I'm curious how you found the game ! Was it through the jam page ?
