About Trawl
Trawl is a first-person game of discovery and creativity that takes place entirely aboard a small trawling vessel. You learn to operate the boat’s wheel, throttle and net, then trawl the sea for hidden secrets and record what you find on a typewriter.
Voyages and discoveries
The sea has many stories to uncover, and returning for multiple voyages can reveal new secrets. You can interpret your findings and write about them in an in-game journal, taking the role of a sea-bound detective if you choose. The game leaves how you understand and record the results up to you.
Life aboard the boat
Trawl centres on the detailed, low-key routines of operating the vessel and taking in its atmosphere rather than on extensive gameplay systems. Each playthrough’s length depends on how much you engage with the game and write in your journal: a speed-run can take less than 10 minutes. The game saves journal entries recorded on the typewriter as a text file in your Documents/Trawl/ folder.
