What is GONE Fishing?

GONE Fishing is a horror survival fishing game from GONE Studios. Each day, you catch fish and sacrifice enough to satisfy the ancient creature beneath the lake. Play alone or bring up to seven friends, sharing the work of fishing, exploring and staying alive.

More than 100 species and dozens of live bait types give every trip a different target. Sell spare catches for equipment, cook fish, try the gambling pool and explore several maps. Around the shoreline, territorial creatures and lurking predators demand as much attention as your fishing rod.
