Deep Regrets: An Unfortunate Fishing Game by Tettix Games

Being married to the sea is a toxic relationship.

Look, you haven’t exactly lived a model life. You’re not proud of some of the things you’ve done, but fishing keeps your mind off of it all. The endless ritual of casting and reeling. The quiet solitude. The boundless mysteries that lie at the end of that thin tether into the deep unknown. It’s a tonic against a mad world.

And the world is mad. Over 200 years ago, Edmund Halley and his entire crew vanished on an expedition to the corners of the sea, convinced that Earth was hollow. People dismissed it as the infirmity of old age, but the centuries that followed have given new consideration to the veracity of his claims. Recently, Rocabarraigh, a fishing island off the coast of Scotland, disappeared without trace. A school of worms with human fingers choked the nets of trawlers in the North Sea. An enormous, unidentifiable mass washed ashore in Hamnøy. The usual solace of the sea is soured by omens that are hard to ignore. Did Halley find his Hollow Earth? Or did he find more than he bargained for? And in so doing, did he set in motion events that would change the course of history? These are times of high strangeness. End times.

But we must fish. No matter what we reel in, we must keep casting. It’s the only sane act in an insane world. Just cast and reel. To stop would be to give in to your self-doubts, and lose your grip on reality.
