About ViceCrush

Short

ViceCrush is an independent game studio on a mission to help people crush their vices — gambling, alcohol, drugs and the habits that are hard to shake — through its games and campaigns.

Long

ViceCrush is an independent game studio built on one idea: the vices that hook us can be beaten. The studio makes games that reward patience, attention and skill, and uses its games and campaigns to talk honestly about addiction and habit — how they take hold, and how people break free — with help one step away wherever it shows up. Its first game is Project Bluewater, an online fishing game currently in closed alpha.

Project Bluewater working title

Genre: Online fishing
Platform: Web browser — no download
Status: Closed alpha, by invitation
Engine: Godot
Developer: ViceCrush

An online fishing game on a living coast. Players read the water, choose their tackle and fish shared waters in real time with other anglers. Fights are won by skill — line, drag and timing — and every fish and every piece of tackle carries its own history: a fish that breaks off keeps the angler's hook, and another angler might be the one to land it. All of the game's art is painted by its own code from a 48-colour palette.
