The Night Fisherman (2020)
Far Few Giants
The English Protection Group keep a watchful eye on the Smuggler's Run, a renowned crossing for vessels bound from Calais containing illegal immigrants. When faced with an armed man, his voracious appetite for conversation, and nobody else for miles, can you safely get rid of him? This is a single, film-like scene. You direct the fisherman's actions, as well as directing the camera shots between the cinematic angles available. The first of twelve small, experimental narrative games to be released monthly.
About the story
You're a night fisherman, and you spot a boat approaching. You bait your rod and steel yourself, ready for interrogation. Once he arrives, the man on the opposite deck is calm, civilised, and has a shotgun slung across his back. How's this gonna go down?

By Casey ScheldThe narrative of The Night Fisherman sets the stage for something great, but the short length and illusion of choice lacks the follow-through to really make an impact.
Pardis Game
By Mehdi DavariIt is true that The Night Fisherman is a visual novel that might not be very engaging, but it is a good option for taking a break from demanding and AAA titles. The Night Fisherman has an exciting atmosphere, but it cannot be regarded as a work that will stay in our minds after a while. In fact, after ending the game for the first time, chances are you will forget all about it
