Reel Me In

About

Reel Me In casts you as a high schooler sentenced to community service fishing trash from a murky river. What starts as a mundane chore quickly turns weird. As you cast your line, you’re also navigating awkward conversations with two classmates assigned to the task. Dialogue choices and quirky mini games shape your interactions while oddities in the water hint at something darker lurking beneath the surface. The story balances slice of life moments with sudden jumpy scares, all wrapped up in a compact runtime. The game’s charm comes from its juxtaposition of mundane tasks and eerie undertones. Fishing mechanics feel surprisingly engaging, blending with the narrative in unexpected ways. While the jam origins show in its brevity, the sharp writing and tonal shifts keep it memorable. Community service has never felt this oddly romantic, or this creepy.
