Calm Fishing Horror Game Where You Catch Fish & ignore me behind you - Fishing Vacation DELUXE 

Welcome to the I've Been Caught Club, how I've Been Caught are ya?

I dont know how many of you noticed but the reason the friend says "Throw it back!" When you catch the right shoe is because the foot was still inside it.

You're able to get the great white in that last ending because the friend was given to the ocean god Sedna. It's mentioned in that note in the basement that sacrifices will give bountiful harvests

19:12 "Woman want me, fish fear me, men turn their eyes away from me. As I walk no beast dares make a sound in my presence. I am alone on this barren earth." The fact that he could recall this meme so effortlessly is impressive.

I like how his reaction to a hand grabbing the bait is "hey! That's mine!" Like it's just a random diver stealing bait from people instead of a monster

a lake with a healthy ecosystem would have good diversity of animals, most things you would find in the ocean you can find in freshwater. sharks, rays, horrors, eels, dolphins, pufferfish, ancient inuit goddesses...all signs of a decently healthy lake!

Sedna actually is a documented figure in Inuit folklore! Basically, her fingers became seals, walruses, and other sea life, giving people their food, and became immortal so her fingers can constantly fall off and grow back to constantly create new life. She's also credited for when little food is being caught, as a consequence of people not following certain rules or taboos. Sam O'nella made a video about Inuit myths, and that's where I first learned about Sedna. My favorite quote from her in said video immediately popped in my head once I heard her name: "That's it! No more fingie foods for three moons!"

i haven’t seen any endings yet, so idk if this is relevant, but just in case: the shoe manly fished up at the beginning was only 6 inches, which implies it’s a child’s shoe.

Manly!! Thank you so much for checking out our game, it's always a pleasure watching you play and it means so much to us that you give them a chance. Thanks for motivating us to make more and better games.

the most unnerving thing about this video is manly's vast knowledge of real life fishing

Species: Freshwater: Trout: these guys need cold, fast water to have enough oxygen. when the guy said the water was green, it meant it was growing algae and low in dissolved oxygen. Trout should probably be dead Bass: often found in big and small ponds with slow moving water Eels: Assuming its a freshwater river eel, It spends it's adult life in the freshwater rivers. However, they do migrate into the sargasso sea to spawn, where their larvae and various metamorphic forms that they grow through mature and return to the rivers. Frog: bullfrog Tadpole: smol frog Catfish: there are saltwater cats but that one looked like a Channel catfish with an elongated head and forward dorsal fin Shrimp: mainly saltwater, but many are freshwater. This couldve possibly been a tiger shrimp, a brackish water shrimp that is widely cultivated for food, youve probably eaten them if youve had shrimp Clam: many freshwater species, however as filter feeders they generally prefer where there is a current. Probably wont find any in a calm lake Betta: they live in marshes and flooded fields that are very low in dissolved oxygen. Due to this, they can actually breathe air using a labyrinth organ. Probably wont find them anywhere thats more than a foot deep and open Suckerfish: more commonly known as plecos, they are usually far longer than the one in the game. and because of the dorsal fin, i want to say a Hypostomus faveolus, or a honeycomb pleco Sponge: Believe it or not, even though sponges are generally seen as saltwater animals, there are freshwater species of Porifera (sponges)! Pike: Like the trout before, they prefer higher latitudes with colder waters. Very impressive ambush hunters and amazing game fish to fight on a line. Goldfish: This looks like a fancy goldfish, one bred to have weird shapes. They are a large eurasian carp that grows to be more than a foot long and up to 30 years old, and possible hold the record for the single most abused pet in the pet hobby. Saltwater: Stingray: you could make the argument it was a ray of the freshwater genus, however it clearly showed a pelagic ray, possibly a Mobula ray due to the cephalic fins on the front of its mouth. That or a really tiny manta ray Clownfish: Ocellaris or a Percula anemonefish, hard to tell without seeing the colours of its eyes and dorsal rays Sardine: pelagic saltwater species found in huge schools, this lake is magical Lobster: Large crustacean that lives in a wide variety of coastal waters, although because it is freshwater, it could possible be a crayfish, a smaller freshwater relative of the lobster Jellyfish: While there are freshwater jellyfish, this looks nothing like one. this looks to be of the sea nettle family. Maybe a black sea nettle? Unicornfish: decently large saltwater fish that like to hang around reefs, looks like a shortnose unicorn fish Pufferfish: most arent actually spiny, so this one being spiny tells us its a Porcupinefish, which is an entirely different family of fish Starfish: one again no freshwater species. Many different kinds with the average shape so i cant pin down a genus really Flounder: generally saltwater fish, they actually start their lives looking normal, and as they grow the eye moves to one side. There are freshwater kinds though, called Soles, although they are more distantly related Swordfish: Pelagic predatory fish, dont confuse it with the sailfish (larger sail like fin) and marlin (dorsal fin stretches down to its anal fins) Anglerfish: there are many kinds of shallow water anglerfish called Frogfish, but that is definitely a deep sea anglerfish Octopus: Once again not enough details to pin down a species, but a fun fact is that for an extremely intelligent animal, most of them live around 6 months. Blue tang: the infamous doryfish. More commonly known as a hippo tang, a member of the surgeonfish family. They are called so due to sharp, scalpel like spines on their sides at the base of the tail for defense. Oceanic sunfish: big pelagic fish, contrary to popular belief, they are actually quite adept at swimming fast. They simply float near the top in order to allow seabirds to peck off parasites. They are also the world's largest bony fish. Great white: what an interesting fish in a lake. Shark facts: sharks arent mean please stop demonizing them

I think the weird noises are supposed to be planks creaking. Kinda weird tho, you'd think they'd keep kreaking once you step again on them.

Something I wish the game had done more with is the real-in. Everytime you catch something, that brief pause between the "you caught" and showing what you got was tense but everytime it was a fish or simple object. I feel this could have been the best moment for something startling

The strange varieties of fish you catch are due to Sedna. Her whole thing is giving bountiful catches from fishing if she’s pleased, and since she’s a supernatural being, she doesn’t have to just make fish that are appropriate for the areas being fished (in this case, the lake). This explains why you catch things like lobsters, sharks, rays, and other things not typically found in lakes.

I’m pretty sure, from all the fishing games Manly has played; he’s pretty good at fishing. (excluding the ungodly demons and horrors killing him.)

I love that fishing horror is practically a genre now

If someone can explain to me why fishing, horror and Manly go together so well, please do. I would love to know.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you "I say morning instead of good morning, because if it was good i would be fishing" the game

I remember reading that after Sedna's fingers were cut off, she couldn't take care of her evergrowing hair anymore. After a while, if no one helped her combing it, the hair would act as a fishing net, catching all marine life in its threads, thus explaining lack of marine life and resources. I loved that tale when I was a kid !

As an avid fisherman, this was both hilarious because of the video game logic, and terrifying because I wonder how many dead bodies I’ve unknowingly cast my bait to.

As someone with a 100 year old house near Canada with a wooden floor and a horribly scary basement, I can tell you that the noise you make over the wood is spot-on. Old wood (REALLY old, unkept wood) will moan and groan like mad whenever you walk over it and in different spots sometimes. All wood in construction of older homes (and newer, really) will expand and contract during summer and winter from heat and cold. The more diverse the weather, the more the it'll happen. With a terrible, old basement under us, we get that groan ALL the time and after awhile you just get annoyed by it. It's an amazing little touch though by the devs for this. It makes perfect sense the house makes this noise the whole time you're walking around. Especially with well, you know. >_>;

All of the fishing games you played are always so interesting. This one is no different. I wonder how people can come up with so many ideas from something as simple as fishing. The human imagination/mind is amazing.

"women fear me fish fear me men turn their eyes away from me as i walk no beast dares make a sound in my presence i am alone on this barren earth" - Manly 🧢🐟

38:47 when Manly's soothing and composed voice cracking because of anxiety XDD

Fun fact: unicorn fish are real, and live in warm ocean waters like Hawaii reefs. Love these fishing games, it's been such an untapped concept till now

I'm sorry Manly but the moment you ranted on the incompetence of your friend, I couldn't stop laughing!

I imagined things happened in horror movies the way it is in this video. "Let's get out of here!" "Wait, I left my car keys in the room!" *insert 1000 profanities and how incompetent their friend is* And I lost it just at the thought of that!

That fish guy from Inscryption would be in heaven here, he would say "Good Fish." and all the other dialogue, shoulda brought him along.

4:42 i read one story of Sedna and apparently she was with her father or partner and he turned into a massive crow man. he flapped his wings and the gust of wind he generated tipped her off her boat. (the water would have been freezing bc it’s in canada) and then her fingers turned into sea animals, and then i think she fell to the bottom of the ocean? i kind of forget it. also Inuit is pronounced like, in-you-wit.

I'm less than a minute in but I'm already digging the visuals. Look at that lovingly rendered fish-themed letter opener lol

If worms ate a body, then you used said worms to catch a fish…. then you ate said fish, would you technically be eating the body by proxy?

i think the random crunchy noises while you were walking around the house is supposed to be floor creaking

So, if in the last ending, the friend gets sacrificed to Sedna and that’s why you get a bigger harvest (the great white), does that mean the same thing happens to you when you are sacrificed to her by the Uncle? Do you become a mindless fish person? And the skeleton they found in the worm pit would have been the aunt... so where is the cousin if the police searched the lake? Did the cousin just end up mindless with fish eyes too? Is she the one the friend sees out his window and the one you see running past while fishing (assuming Sedna can’t leave the lake)?

I still love how Manly only freaks out when the friend sends him back to get the keys.

_Two shadows, one worm_ A nice relaxing fishing game... Ahoy - spoilers ahead . . . . . Nice to see Inuit mythology featured in a game! There was a bit of Lovecraft woven into the myth of Sedna, the goddess of the sea. If you sacrifice to her, your catch is good. So the uncle killed his wife, buried her for worm food. Threw his daughter in the lake, which was a sadly ironic death considering Sedna's demise. So now the fishing is good, but the uncle wanted more to sacrifice to his love. I aprreicated the little touches of humor in the game - some of the smallest ones like the tadpole & shrimp put up the biggest 'fights'. I liked this game. I also really enjoyed the music!

The fact that he knew what a pleco was... warmed my cold dead heart.

Manly channel is so underrated, his voice are so smoothing when playing horror games and not yelling like other RU-vidrs. This is the content I would like to see and not some clickbaited garbage that is all over RU-vid.

It's such a specific horror subgenre, but I do enjoy these fishing horror games. This one in particular had some nice style to it, though I do wish the buildup to the horror started just a little earlier. What's here is fun, I appreciate the variety in the endings too. Always good to have one that's an actual good ending.

I don't think I've ever heard the term "clean horror" before, but I think it fits rather well. 🙂

The spookiest thing is that you keep catching fish that shouldn't be in this lake or even in fresh water at all. This lake seems to be especially magical at night.

Perfectly reciting the “fish fear me” hat made me laugh so damn hard. Love your content, man!

Can we just appreciate how he doesn’t overdue his reactions?

Hearing Manly kinda have fun fishing gives me the goofiest smile.

I just love of tadpole give a fight in the same level as white shark.

The sounds of the night lake almost knocked me out. The crickets and tree frogs and owl hooting is so soothing. I grew up in the county and on wet nights I slept so good with the window open. Even better if you’re by a lake and it’s just a tree frog serenade all night.

The cheeky "women want me, fish fear me" recitation at 19:13 sent me. It's funny that you uploaded this when you did; I was just thinking about this game and scouring your channel to see if you'd played it! Had no idea it had an updated release.

20:53 shadow: hehehe im scary Manly: HEY GET OUTTA HERE God i love his commentary

"I'm gonna hitchhike! CALL IN AN UBER!" had me laughing soooo hard

If i had a nickel for every time manly played a horror game about fishing, i would have 4 nickles, which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened 4 times

This game feels and looks more creepy than i remember. Nice to see how much was updated.

An old mystery on the creepy lake containing an abandoned cabin, shallow grave and a cellar of the ancient sea god? There's no better story than that

I think you can run from the 'uncle' into the cellar rather than out of the cabin. I think. It's been a while since I saw someone play the original. Edit: I just went looking at some other videos and that isn't the case. Would be neat though.

"If you never went, you wouldn't get this nice tune." True words. That was a fun fishing game. Bit unsure about the depiction of Sedna, but still a pretty cool contained horror game. I'm guessing the last ending obtained, the friend was just really traumatised; his eyes were still moving, so not literally dead

I like how the shrimp and tadpole put up more of a fight than the bass, frog and catfish.

Welcome back to the show, today we hope to answer the question “why are fishing games such good horror games as well” any thoughts?

I would love to see Manly play a series of traditional fishing games. I'm aware this one has horror elements but just watching Manly fish and listen to him talk about random stuff is really chill. Maybe I'm just old 🤣

Fun fact: In my house we have a taxidermy shark on our wall, it was caught by my dads uncle when they were fishing in some lake in Connecticut. We've had some door to door sales people stop and say "cool shark" before trying to make us buy something from them

I was expecting you’d have to fish in the shadows by the trees in the left, and you would get something messed up

46:05 flounders have chromatophores on their backs that allow them to change their markings to camoflague against the sea floor

You are by far the best game playthrough content creator around. The narration is engaging and compelling, easy to follow along with, you play the games properly and don't rip people out of the immersion by focusing on the underlying system too much but just letting the game guide you along. Big props.

It's kind of nutty how many horror fishing games there are.

I generally prefer playthroughs without commentary, but this was great! Funny, entertaining, and a buttery-smooth delivery that Morgan Freeman could be proud of!

I love his commentary creepy zombie person is watching him fish: “Hey get outa here”, scary hand grabs the lure “Hey that’s mine”.

Manly: what’s my point in life, other than fishing? Crow: C R A W! Thank you bird! You have brought great enlightenment to use all. You never cease to amaze us. You truly are the all powerful being you say you are.

“Lake This Way” weird name for a lake…

Those things you're calling "shinys" are the top of the ghosty thing's head poking up out of the water to look at you. That's why there are eyes and that's why they're getting closer and closer to you, popping up out of the water until you pan your reticle toward them, at which point they go underwater.

This man makes me feel so at ease and I have no idea why

Manly is the only one I know who almost always gets the A tier ending first (aka the hardest ones)

I‘ve been having a tough couple of days and watching you play the fishing minigame was just the kind of relaxing moment I needed. Have you considered streaming a full on fishing game?

For those who want to jump straight into the spooks, the first freaky thing starts at around 18 minutes

This is honestly really neat. Leaves the clues well paced. I also love that you're contained to the game boy screen, it's a rather brilliant way to sort of confine the player to this grid system. And that system works for both navigating the over world, and the lake. That said our friend is incredibly strange. Not the not seeing his family in a while thing. No, who doesn't go see a vacation house before using it? Or clean the fish heads out of the fridge? Or the weird plate tableau?

So...I know they tried to tie this to an Inuit legend but this is literally the backstory of Innsmouth.

Its better than just eating fish in the other fishing game

The rage starting at 38:50 is gold 😆🤣

I mean, I think nautical horror is about as old as literature. The only reason it isn't older is that ghost stories older than that don't always cleanly fit into what we would think of as 'horror stories.'

I always look up manly's channel from time to time to watch him as I'm not the best in horror games so watching him play made me feel like relax sometimes cheering him on to the point I kinda know what he will do next. His content is bingable (is that a word) for me. His one of the youtuber that I always check his channel to see new uploads because its calming and entertaining. I subscribe to him when my history is just full of his videos.

So many monster and ghost stories could be ended peacefully by sitting at a lake with a beer in hand and fishing together, letting tensions calm as you let the hours pass by.

This tune that plays when you're catching worms is ridiculously catchy

I couldn’t have sworn you played this one before but then again you played a lot of horror theme fishing games.

Honestly, the music getting slower and slower each day was one of the most creepy things in this game to me

I like to imagine this is somewhat like what the evil farming game / blood-harvest moon fishing minigame would've been like if it were a real game and not misremembered Joel stream

I feel like manly fishes, or has fished in the past and had fond memories of the hunt. Cause he just loves these fishing games.

I used to be the mythos kid, so right when I read the words "inuit mythos", I thought to myself: Wait, isn't it about the poor daughter who got to become a seagull's (skua's?) wife and got her fingers cut by her father, each phalanx then to become some sort of a sea animal and her to transform into the sea goddess, who was to blame for poor animal population, and thus hunger, due to her being unable to comb her extra long hair without fingers and getting animals constantly caught in it? God, it was so unexpected to see those legends to be used for the plot of a Gameboy horror game of all types. Thank you a lot for playing this one!

I like the ending where you´re sensible human beings and just get tf out of there and call the police

god I recall seeing a different playthrough of this exact game and it the chase scene gave me late night paranoia. Still a great gameplay tho

I am familiar with a version of the story of Sedna. When I saw it, I started theorizing about why there are so many saltwater fish in a freshwater lake immediately

I love how everything in this game is engineered to have a face

Quick note of those who are curious the story of the sea goddess from what I recall from a small snippet in school, basically the goddess who was originally a human for some reason gets lobbed into the sea by her father and of course she tries to hang onto the boat and father of the year decides obviously to cut her fingers off and long story short she’s now a vengeful spirit? And her fingers turn into seals. I might be wrong but hey finger seals fuck yeah

"Early fish gets the worm!" Manly: Early fish gets dead! --Manly's Quote of the Day

Late evening, watching manly play ̶H̶o̶r̶r̶o̶r̶ cool fishing games, what a mood.

3:15 I recall being able to change the accent color if I use the original Game Boy Cartridge on the Game Boy Color or the Game Boy Advance .

Oh boy, I love fishing!! I'm sure nothing will go wrong right???

With what this game was going for, I think it ABSOLUTELY nailed it. What a great experience - thanks for introducing me to it!

I kinda feel like the uncle sacrificed his daughter (the cousin) to Sedna by drowing her in the lake, to become a servant of Sedna because he was so into fishing and sea. did anybody else got this interpretation?

I love your voice overs & comments, it makes the game even better lol

Excellent, thank you for playing one of Teebowah's games! I hope this means we can look forward to you playing the third shift too when it launches. :) They do really great gameboy horror stuff.

This is pretty much identical to the original game, just a few more animations! I thought this game was fun but the Inuit goddess addition threw me off. Just felt random since we never determined the cabin location.

I've laughed twice in this run. Once from the battle with the tadpole Vs Manly and then from the greatest censorship box I'd ever seen with 'Anime' repeating on it over the statue's, ahem, chest area. Like I don't usually laugh that much at these horror games but those two moments got me good for some reason xD

Boy I’m 13 minutes in and the longer this game plays it coy with the horror elements the more my anxiety is rising…I know it’s going to get weird I’m just not sure when…

I know you're quite big but i watched like 5 of your videos and i really enjoy the fact you play these short and otherwise unknown games. No extra editing just game play and good commentry love it
