Deep Regrets is a strategic horror fishing game for 1-5 players, aged 16 and up, running about 30 minutes per player.

Decide what to eat, what to sell, what to mount, and how many regrets you're willing to carry as you push yourself too far and spiral toward madness and a thrilling victory at sea… or an untimely end to your career.

Inspired by stories like The Shadow Over Innsmouth, John Langan’s The Fisherman, the Hellboy series and video games like Dredge and Bloodborne (and maybe a dash of Scooby Doo), Deep Regrets is set in a fictional version of early 1900s Europe where Edmund Halley’s Hollow Earth theory just might have been correct. It’s a world of lonely anglers with heavy regrets weighing on consciences and gruesome monstrosities weighing on fishing lines. Unsavory takes on classic British and European folklore haunt the waters. Strange occurrences have upset the natural balance and made the seas a dangerous place for folk who depend on it for their trade.

Back in 1740, Edmund Halley set out on a doomed expedition north to prove Earth was hollow. His subsequent disappearance was met with the sudden appearance of a previously unknown island in the North Sea. The Scottish, who called it Rocabarraigh, established a bustling fishing village there, but in 1909 it disappeared again without trace - along with every man, woman and child on its mud-caked streets.

The fishing trade suffered the loss of hundreds of veterans that day, and it's up to you to step in and fill their waders, even if the seas are not as hospitable as they once were.

What did Halley do on his expedition to The North? What did he set in motion? What if Earth IS hollow and the denizens that dwell therein are eager to claw their way out? What if this is the — You know what? Not your problem. Just focus on fishing.

In Deep Regrets, you'll spend a week moving between sea and port, trying to pull in the most desirable creel of fish and fish-adjacent creatures. You'll need to manage your energy, resources, and regrets and push your luck to pull in the best haul possible. At the end of the game, you'll score the fish you have in hand, the fish you've mounted, and any Fishbucks you have remaining... and the player with the most regrets will lose their most valuable fish.
