Welcome back to our Indie Series, where we explore unique and captivating indie games. Today, we’ll look closer at Deep Regrets, a game created by Judson Cowan, the mastermind behind Tettix Games.
Tettix Games, founded in 2020, has gained recognition with two successful editions of Hideous Abomination via Kickstarter campaigns, attracting over 4,000 backers. Although the team remains small, with just one full-time employee, they have forged partnerships with manufacturing, fulfillment, and advertising partners worldwide. The game owes its refinement and success to the invaluable contributions of play-testers, volunteers, and dedicated individuals who have helped bring the vision to life.
Unveiling the Lore Deep Regrets draws inspiration from renowned literary works such as “The Shadow Over Innsmouth” and John Langan’s “The Fisherman,” as well as the Hellboy series and video games like Dredge and Bloodborne. Set in a fictional version of early 1900s Europe, the play explores the possibility that Edmund Halley’s Hollow Earth theory might hold some truth. In this world, lonely anglers bear the weight of their regrets while facing gruesome monstrosities on their fishing lines. Dark interpretations of classic British and European folklore haunt the treacherous waters, disrupting the natural order and endangering those who depend on the sea for their livelihoods.
The Mysterious Expedition of Edmund Halley In 1740, Edmund Halley embarked on an ill-fated expedition to prove the existence of a hollow Earth. Following his disappearance, an unknown island suddenly appeared in the North Sea, known as Rocabarraigh to the Scottish. A thriving fishing village was established there, but in 1909, it vanished without a trace, taking with it every inhabitant. This calamity devastated the fishing trade, leaving a void that you, as a player, must fill. However, the once-hospitable seas have become more perilous, as untold horrors lurk beneath the surface.
Gameplay and Challenges Await Deep Regrets challenges players to navigate a week of fishing expeditions, alternating between the sea and port, in pursuit of the most coveted catch. Managing energy, resources, and regrets becomes crucial as you test your luck to secure the best haul possible. At the end of the game, points are awarded for the fish in your possession, mounted fish, and any remaining Fishbucks. However, beware, as the player burdened with the most regrets will lose their most valuable fish.
A Versatile Gaming Experience One of the standout features of Deep Regrets is its versatility. The game offers various game modes to suit different preferences, whether you prefer solo play or cooperative adventures. For more information, visit the Kickstarter page here or try out the game here.
