Demon Fish Dead Ahead

Demon Fish Dead Ahead is a turn-based RPG about exploring four worlds, fighting demon fish and capturing them. Use the overworld map to find 28 points of interest and battle each area's lord. The story is short and told through cutscenes, with simplified mechanics designed to make it easy to resume after a break.

Combat and progression

You face 40 enemy types, each with its own 8-bit art. Choose to cast, brace or belay (fight, defend or run); you can capture enemies and level up through experience gained in battles, increasing your attack and defense. Attack and defend skills depend on your experience level, and you can heal only at save points. There are no gold, shops, equipment, items, inventory, party members, classes, magic or MP.

Worlds and tracking

The four worlds contain 28 points of interest, which you can locate using the overworld map. A fish box keeps track of your catches. The game includes a soundtrack of 30 8-bit chiptunes and takes about 8 hours to play.
