Deep Regrets

An unfortunate fishing game about pulling progressively more horrifying things out of the ocean.

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 towards a thrilling conclusion in this strategic horror fishing game.

Roll bespoke tackle dice at the start of each turn to determine your strength for that round. Then decide whether to stay at sea or return to port to sell fish, buy provisions and recharge your energy.

Survey the shadows on the backs of nine different fish shoals at three depths. Decide what you can afford to catch and whether to risk it for a potentially better reward. Flip fish, spend dice and add them to your collection, but beware of reveal and catch abilities that can affect the game!

Each fish, item and character was hand-inked by illustrator Judson Cowan, then colored by hand in Procreate. Explore a gorgeous world with many dark surprises to uncover.

As you spy more horrifying things, you'll collect Regrets cards. These increase your madness, but also give you access to more dice and increase the value of weirder fish. Balance that risk: at the end of the game, the player with the highest value of Regrets must discard their most valuable mounted fish.

Manage your resources, make strategic decisions, leverage madness to your benefit and suppress your Regrets as you try to catch the most valuable haul during a thrilling week at sea.

Solo and Cooperative Mode

Act as an ichthyologist on a mission to catch and catalog every fish in the sea. Over a campaign of dozens of games, try to reel in every last fish and document its attributes on the provided catalog sheet. This mode can also be played cooperatively.

At the end of each game, discard an equal value of fish to the Regrets you've collected. You may have to let some fish go to return another day.

At the end of the campaign, your catalog of fish names, depths, values and difficulties can help players identify potential catches in the multiplayer game.
