DEADWATER

Description

DEADWATER is an active incremental fishing shooter about making every shot
count. Trade Souls for Gold to buy a new gun or visibly build out your favorite.
Spend them on permanent pier projects instead, and that shiny rifle has to
wait. Each hunt gives you one magazine, cylinder or tube. When it runs dry,
the remaining Souls finish their journey and your next hunt waits for its
first shot.

Build your boat and leave the pier behind. Cross five increasingly strange
regions, hunt 67 species and chase their rare Legends. Nightfall and storms
bring unusual visitors. The deepest debts wait at 1,000 meters.

Suggested audience: ages 13+. Stylized firearm violence against fantasy fish,
pixel blood and bodies, skeletons, death themes and unsettling sea creatures.

Created with AI assistance across programming, pixel-art and animation tools,
procedural audio tools, and writing. CLProjects provided the concept, creative
direction, iteration and playtesting. Editable art sources use Aseprite and the
game is built in Godot. The game does not call generative AI while you play.
