A horror fishing game? Like that’ll ever work. Nevertheless, Monumental Collab and publisher CRITICAL REFLEX are releasing Drowned Lake – a survival fishing game based on Brazilian folklore.

When a student in their 20s goes missing, you set out to unravel the truth. From a top-down perspective, you will navigate these ominous waters and solve puzzles in the first-person mode. 

Key features in Drowned Lake include:

  • A Non-linear Horror Story, Told From Three Perspectives: Explore the most forbidding reaches of the forest as a firefighter, a journalist and an elderly fisherman. Unravel the mystery and each character’s true motives in an interactive narrative where your choices matter.
  • Scour Dark Waters for the Truth: Collect evidence and uncover what hides beneath the surface of the Drowned Lake by exploring, fishing, investigating, and solving puzzles.
  • Beware Making Noise: As you probe the forest’s farthest depths, your choices and actions may increase your noise level, attracting unwanted attention from the horrors of the night.
  • Discover the Nightmares of Brazilian Folklore: Experience a tragic, twisted tale inspired by the unique melting pot of Brazilian culture and mythology.
  • Investigate in First-Person Mode: Navigate narrow areas, complete intricate puzzles, and experience the true terrors the darkness hides in first-person POV sections inspired by escape rooms and classic horror games.
