About Wretched Depths

Sam, an avid fishing fan, has traveled to the remote Twin Pines to cast into the mysterious Lake Imperium. However as she begins to adjust to her surroundings. Odd and unexplainable events begin to occur left and right in a town where the people seem strange, and the fish even stranger.

Play as Sam and fish to your hearts content, sell the fish you've caught, collect better gear, and use it to explore deeper into the depths of the lake. But, be warned as no one knows what lies at the bottom of Lake Imperium. Do you really want to find out what lurks below...?

Wretched Depths is a PSX-style horror-fishing game created by students in the University of Utah's Entertainment Arts & Engineering capstone class.

Key Features:

A dynamic fishing system
A manageable, grid-based inventory
An environment filled with unique fish
Strange encounters wherever you look
A system of equipment upgrades and collectables

The shopkeeper selling upgraded fishing gear looks like a PS1 horror game version of MoistCritikal.

I absolutely loved this. A quick game, finished in less than an hour. The atmosphere grew horrific as the game went on, building up the player's curiosity-whilst hesitant, as the unknown is always scary. The plot itself was easy to follow. Great for anyone who loves a retro, low-poly graphic games with a scary twist. The fishing itself was great, simple. I loved the various "fish" you can catch in the game :)

What an off-putting little game... I loved it!! I love fishing games and games with edlritch horror and this game was a great mix of both. For a free game it was a perfect bite sized horror fishing experience!

Not recommended Aug 29, 2026

There is really nothing to this game. Cool idea if there was anything behind it at all.
