Pocketpair Publishing Introduces 'Normal Fishing'
Pocketpair Publishing, a label of Pocketpair Inc. based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has announced their fourth publication titled
'Normal Fishing', developed by the British company The Bworg. This retro-style adventure game masquerades as an innocent fishing game, but it hides disturbing mysteries and elements of horror that keep players on their toes.
What is 'Normal Fishing'?
At first glance,
'Normal Fishing' appears to be just another fishing game. Players assume the role of a fisherman who travels to a quaint village with a mystical lake. In the early stages, they engage in typical fishing activities to earn money and complete their collection of various aquatic creatures.
However, as the narrative unfolds, players unearth ancient secrets hidden at the lake's bottom and confront a colossal monster that threatens the village.
The Facade of a Charming Fishing Life
- - Dive into action-oriented mini-games to catch fish.

The True Purpose? Unraveling Mystery and Fear Beneath the Lake
- - Discover the truths surrounding the 'Ancient Godfish.'
- - Fight against the majestic monsters lurking in the lake to protect the village.
What Makes This Game Unique
Despite being a fishing game at its core,
'Normal Fishing' infuses unsettling warnings within its gameplay, such as:
- - “Do not touch the water.”
- - “Stay away from the lake.”
- - “This is not what you think it is.”
The game merges a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of retro gaming consoles with an inescapable children’s fear, resulting in an experimental indie game that's not for the faint-hearted.
