There are many strange games on Steam, and Lure counts as one. This sketch game, which focuses on keywords such as first-person, fishing, and horror, has a flow of less than 4 minutes, making people wonder if this is the programming homework of any student, fortunately it is free. And the game also recently released an update, version 1.0.3 fixed some bugs ...
Lure is an extremely simple fishing game. The story is simple, you walk alone and someone tells you that fishing can make money. Then you meet a mysterious old man next to a van who tells you that you can catch fish from the lake behind the abandoned shrine and that you can sell it to him.
You agree, go fishing, and by this time the game is 35 seconds past, close to a quarter of the progress. The rest of the story is not a spoiler, you can experience it yourself, both shocking and spoofy.
Although it is only a small short story, it can be regarded as a qualified horror game. The first-person pixel screen, which feels like a viewing experience through an old security camera, is full of weirdness and uneasiness, and there is no lack of humor. The game's sound is also good, bringing a slowly extending mood of worry and fear.
It is worth mentioning that the game is written for The Spell Jam and was only developed in 10 days.
