\"Drowned<\/p>\n

We got our first glimpse at a new horror fishing game called Drowned Lake<\/em> at today’s PC Game Show<\/a>. Now in development, the game appears on a whole new level compared to previous attempts to mix the two genres.<\/p>\n

Drowned Lake<\/em> takes place in the forests of Brazil and follows the mysterious disappearance of a local man near the eponymous lake. The game aims to bring several elements of Brazilian folklore to the story and incorporates some great-looking live-action footage to help tell the story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The new reveal trailer shows some extremely creepy live-action shots of forests and rivers of South America with a distinctly unique vibe. When it later cuts to first-person gameplay, it blends the two nearly seamlessly. The nautical horror elements here evoke a unique mood, combining Lovecraftian aesthetics with the visuals of the Brazilian forest.<\/p>\n

The gameplay ranges from actual fishing and dredging in the rivers, first-person exploration and puzzle-solving, and even some stealth elements, among the live-action narrative sequences that tell the story from three different perspectives.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Drowned Lake<\/em> is being developed by a collective of game developers across Brazil, calling themselves Monumental. The game looks to expand a previously-made teaser\/proof-of-concept game<\/a>\u00a0made for a game jam last year and make it into a full-length title. This will be Monumental’s second major horror game release after their game TELEFORUM<\/a> released on Steam earlier this year to glowing reviews.<\/p>\n

You can wishlist the game on Steam<\/a> right now and follow the developers on X (Twitter)<\/a> for future updates. We will keep track of the game’s development progress and can’t wait to see more once the developers are ready to share.<\/p>\n

Be sure to watch the full extended reveal trailer for Drowned Lake <\/em>below.<\/p>\n
