ANCHOR'S DEEP

*Game download link is at bottom

=ABOUT =

Anchors Deep is a stylized action adventure game with a focus on combat and strong narrative themes. There is one tutorial and 3 mini levels with engaging combat that ramps up as the player travels through the game. The strong narrative elements like NPCs and voiceovers clue the player into how they’re perceived in the game. While the audiovisual design of the game is zany and dark, the dialogue conveys a more lighthearted, comedic tone.

=STORY=

For thousands and thousands years, Fishnity has lived under Humanity’s shadow. Massacred, tortured, and even eaten!

The massacre on Fishnity never ends and they have no choice but escape the grasp of the evil Trident Seafood Corporation!

Now, with the heinous corporation’s new technology, Fishnity has no way to escape, and no place to hide. They need their hero again, the one who fought with everything and suddenly disappeared thousands of years ago — they need the legendary Fish Guardian..

After the years of brutal torture and harm on his people, the Fish Guardian awakens! Ready to exact his revenge against the humans! However, something feels different? He doesn’t seem to be too passionate about it! Too many years have passed since his last awakening, he’s rusty, tired and a little out of shape! Now he needs to re-learn his skills by tearing down whatever stands in his way.
