Fishing The Abyss

PC (Microsoft Windows) • 2024

Should you play it?

This is a relaxing atmospheric game where you simply watch a robot catch creatures. Place it at the edge of your screen like a vertical desktop accessory and observe the ecosystem. It’s neither an idle game with mountains of stats nor an exciting fishing game.

What works

  • Relaxing and atmospheric gameplay
  • Unique and creepy creature designs
  • Good as a desktop companion with minimal required attention
  • Appealing pixel art and soothing music
  • Regular developer updates and free aquarium dlc

Things to keep in mind

  • Limited gameplay depth and interaction
  • Minimal story and narrative explanation
  • Some language and translation issues
  • Encyclopedia lacks detailed descriptions
  • Low replay value after completion

How to use the graph

Similarity map

Each dot is a game. They are arranged from the game’s motivation profile. Closer dots usually mean more similar reasons to play (exploration, competition, relaxation, etc.)—not that one game is “better” than another.

  • Purple star: this page’s game — everything on the map is relative to it.
  • Coloured chips: click to highlight games that mainly differ on that motivation; click again to reset.
  • Dotted line: link between this page’s game and the one selected for comparison.
  • Hover a dot to preview that game in the panel on the right; click to keep that comparison.
  • Scroll or double-click the chart to zoom out and see more games.

Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers (hidden on purpose).

Fishing The Abyss: Less representative of its motivational profile, with noticeable differences. Motivations that often define this kind of title include Survival, Violence, Competition, Thrill. Here, the score leans higher than usual among comparable games on Idle. It leans lower than usual among comparable games on Intimacy, Competence.
