Loch Crystallo is a short game that I made for Screamless Jam this year.


It is a fishing game where you must catch each of the 10 fish living in the loch, then get them to sign your journal to prove that you have caught them. Some fish will happily sign your book, others will ask you to answer a riddle before they will help you out.

Whilst waiting for bites, your character will make personal reflections on various topics.


The game is controlled with ARROW Keys and the SPACE Bar.

just a really sweet game, that honestly has helpful advice. plus, the pixel art is amazing!! :)

wish there was more of it but it's an art piece regardless

I dont like how the answers are obscured. What am I supposed to do here!

Nice, chill game! It's pretty much 'shower thoughts' or 'thoughts that creep up when you're trying to sleep' the game, interspersed with little funny riddles here and there. It wasn't necessarily much of a 'game' per se, and I was a bit worried that it was gonna be too preachy or navel-gazey, but the great presentation quality and cool atmospheric vibes chilled me out and let me enjoy the experience, think about a bunch of stuff, and have a few chuckles. In particular, I found the aspect of censored answers a clever way to have multiple-choice answers but not let you easily guess the right answer: you still need to think of it on your own as if it were a free-text answer, in a way! I also appreciated that you could fast-forward text by clicking (though speaking of, it might be nice to have a prompt appear when you're supposed to click to proceed to the next line). If I were to have any feedback, it'd be cool if the game had a big databank of thoughts and riddles that it could randomize for each run so that it were more replayable.

Absolutely beautiful pixel art. Immaculate vibes. And I got 10/10 on my first try. Not sure how you could get 0 since Black Moor is a gimme
