Mother's Ocean
A downloadable game for Windows
A dark fishing game, where you live in a remote hut in the middle of the ocean - your only obligation is to feed mother everyday.
She was once a brilliant scientist, but was driven mad by her experiments in genetic engineering.
The only other soul you'll encounter is the nameless trader. He likes looking at you.
Luck favors the bold, waters far from home hold great secrets and fish, but beware of the fish.

Very cool game loop, sucked me in which doesn't happen often with PSX games. Only thing I'll mention is that it may need some kind of tutorial / more info on the mechanics, my third playthrough started being actually fruitful and when I ventured out to find other kinds of fish I died. Dunno if that was the intention or if I was just very unlucky with finding the instant death fish, it was my first rare
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the game loop! I really appreciate the feedback - and I agree that more guidance would've been better.
In terms of your experience, I think it was coincidental that you had just caught a fish when you died. What probably happened is your boat was off, which, you have a limited amount of time to turn it back on (if you're away from home) or you will get killed. I also think I should have made it more clearer what exactly is killing you in those situations.
