Ahoy sailors! I'm excited to announce that Fishyphus is now available for Windows, Linux, and Steam Deck. Fishyphus is a horror fishing game originally developed for Games for Blind Gamers 2. In it you sail an impressionistic sea, catching fish to summon and battle a sea monster. This release finally brings it to Steam with a few small improvements. Enjoy!

If you enjoyed Fishyphus, then you may be interested in my main project: Periphery Synthetic EP. In this chill metroidvania experience, you pilot an upgradable exosuit and explore a musical solar system. The inspiration for Fishyphus came from wanting to add a fishing minigame to its water world, which has waves to surf and caves to explore beneath its mysterious surface. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2121790/Periphery_Synthetic/

Fishyphus is a horror fishing roguelite which rewards careful navigation, quick reflexes, and persistence. It's best experienced with a gamepad and headphones.

Sail the waves

Take command of a fishing vessel with momentum-based physics controls. Sail endlessly in any direction across abstract, colorful, and relaxing ocean waves.

Catch the fish

Track fish by their mesmerizing songs. Drop anchor and fish with a single button. The reflex-based fishing minigame is easy to learn—yet hard to perfect.

Battle the reaper

Beware the certain death which lurks beneath! Catch fish to awaken it, stun it, and strengthen its resolve. Only through death will you survive longer.

An accessible experience

Fishyphus provides a tutorial, high visual contrast, binaural audio cues, haptic feedback, adjustable difficulty settings, and screen reader support. Its graphics can be toggled off to be enjoyed with audio alone.
