He Must Be Fed

Catch some fish. Feed the Musaranho. Survive the night.

A horror-suspense 3D fishing simulator based on the Óbidos Musaranho legend. As a newcomer fisherman, you must catch fish to feed the strange forest deity in exchange for village peace. Begin each day by fishing beneath shifting skies, check your progress on the scale, and place your catch on the altar at dusk. Ring the bell and await what answers from the dark.

Game through culture

Players embody a fisherman bound to serve the Musaranho deity from Óbidos folklore, transforming the legend into an interactive exploration of servitude and survival. Through daily fishing rituals and nighttime offerings, the game examines themes of human dignity and freedom by placing players in a position of powerlessness against supernatural forces that demand constant appeasement.
