About the game
Lost Lures is an isometric fishing adventure set in the deep, quiet waters of Finland. Players take on local restaurant and private orders, earn money, upgrade their gear, unlock specialized lures and find untouched fishing spots. Play solo or join friends online.
“Most fishing games are just clicking buttons. We wanted Lost Lures to feel like actual fishing. You watch the water, you read the weather, you try a lure, you fail, you try another one. The demo is the best way to see if that clicks for you. Bring a friend, try the 6-player rooms, and don’t forget the mosquito repellent.”
