Synopsis

At the heart of this narrative VR game, you will play as Emma, who is determined to find her brother by capturing a mythical animal that haunts the waters of the lake. To do this, you will have to learn what Emma has refused until now, what her father wanted to pass on to her: to find her place in a decidedly unpredictable nature through her passion, fishing.

Amazing Monster! is a new kind of dialogue-based, observational and action-packed VR game. Assisted by the characters in the story, you will learn the mechanics that will allow you to interact with the lake’s fish, wild creatures and the oldest civilizations in the area. Through this unique fishing experience, in a nature steeped in ancient magic and traditional stories, we address themes that are dear to us, such as coming of age, grief and respect for the environment.

With Emma’s dark humor and self-mockery, you will build relationships with the city’s characters, real or mythical. Between scenes of dialogue - which are only determined by your mood - and moments of fishing, embark on an unexpected initiatory journey, through this fantastic adventure story in which you will be... the heroine.
