Gone Fishing is a cooperative multiplayer horror game where players must work together to catch fish and feed an ancient lake monster before night falls. The goal is simple but urgent: gather enough fish to satisfy its endless hunger or face the inevitable attack. As daylight fades, the danger grows, and if the offering is not enough, the creature will emerge to hunt. Hiding will not work, and running will not save you. Only a complete sacrifice can delay the inevitable.
Gathering And Preparing
Players begin by collecting bait from the environment. Different types of fish require different bait, and larger prey demands more effort to capture. The bait can include various small creatures found near the lake. Using the right bait increases the chances of a successful catch. The team must divide responsibilities, with some focusing on bait collection while others work on active fishing. Coordination is key because the more time passes, the closer night becomes.
Fishing And Survival Strategy
The fishing system requires attention and timing. Casting the line, waiting for a bite, and pulling the fish in without breaking the line are all essential steps. Each fish behaves differently, making every catch a small challenge. As the night approaches, players face a choice: keep the fish for the ritual or trade it with a mysterious traveling merchant for useful tools. Managing time and resources becomes critical to survival.
List of key gameplay elements:

- Timing-based fishing mechanics
- Ritual offerings to the lake monster
- Trading with the traveling merchant
Facing The Threat
If the group fails to provide enough fish by nightfall, the monster will rise from the depths. The encounters are not about direct combat but about avoiding the creature while trying to survive until dawn. Each failed night makes the monster more aggressive and less forgiving. Team communication is vital, as even a single mistake can put everyone at risk.
Gone Fishing mixes the calm routine of fishing with the pressure of surviving a relentless threat. It requires planning, teamwork, and the ability to adapt as the situation becomes more dangerous. Whether players choose to work together flawlessly or risk everything for personal gain, the lake will always demand its price.
