About this game

Bend and twist reality in the VR Awards Game of the Year 2019.

A Fisherman’s Tale is a mind-bending VR adventure in which being turned upside down and inside out is not merely a play on words.

Playing as a tiny fisherman puppet, you live alone in your tiny cabin, oblivious to the world outside. When your radio broadcasts a storm alert, you have to climb the lighthouse to turn on the light! As you leave your cabin with the help of some uncanny sidekicks, you realize what’s waiting outside is not at all what you expected…

  • Break multiple laws of physics in mind-bending puzzles!
  • Climb the lighthouse before The Big Storm, with the help of uncanny sidekicks
  • Toy around with your model lighthouse, inside a lighthouse, inside a... is that another lighthouse?
  • Uncover the truth behind an unusually tall fisherman’s tale

Brought to you by Vertigo Games, A Fisherman’s Tale is developed by Innerspace, co-produced with ARTE France supported by CNC, Ville de Paris & BPI France.

Good. But....

Whilst I really like the game. I love the concept, graphics and soundtrack/voice work. The only issue is the 'matches' area, as others have stated. It's a nightmare! I know what I had to do but the execution was terrible. My guy kept dropping the match when I didn't want him too. I gave up.
