Ahoy, matey! Vertigo Games, the VR publishing and development division of the PLAION Group, along with developer InnerspaceVR, are delighted to unveil a new gameplay trailer for Another Fisherman’s Tale, the much-anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed A Fisherman’s Tale. Set to launch in Q2 this year, the game will be available for PS VR2, Meta Quest 2, and all PC VR platforms. The trailer, showcased today at the Future Games Show, highlights the innovative VR puzzle mechanics that form the foundation of Another Fisherman’s Tale, demonstrating that in this installment, your body becomes the ultimate puzzle to decipher!
Another Fisherman’s Tale expands on the story of Bob the Fisherman, weaving an enchanting and emotional narrative that explores the significance of constructing and reconstructing our true selves. Developed to take full advantage of cutting-edge VR technology, Another Fisherman’s Tale introduces a range of entirely new core mechanics: the player’s own body now serves as the principal puzzle to unravel, resulting in a groundbreaking gameplay experience based on disassembling and reassembling their in-game persona.
In this 5-6 hour next-generation VR adventure, players assume the role of Nina—daughter of the original game’s protagonist—as she uncovers models, notes, and photographs chronicling her father’s enigmatic past and her own upbringing. As Nina recalls Bob’s extravagant tales of pirates, submerged vessels, treasures, and mystical locales, she begins to reenact his escapades, immersing herself in a fantastical realm of memory and imagination. Will she manage to discern reality from fabrication and unveil the concealed truth behind the fisherman’s story?
Featuring a complete overhaul of its predecessor’s mechanics, Another Fisherman’s Tale envisions a world where YOU become the puzzle:
- DETACH limbs and hands from your body and manipulate them remotely. Hurl Bob’s hand across a chasm and make it crawl to fetch an object, or send your head elsewhere for an alternative perspective.
- REPLACE your limbs with various objects to gain new abilities. Pirate hook hands enable you to scale walls, a crab’s claw can sever a rope in a pinch, and a fish’s tail enhances your swimming prowess.
- CONTROL your surroundings with your puppeteering hands, seizing distant objects, items, and tools, and engaging with each level’s distinctive layout.
