Deep Regrets is an unfortunate fishing game about ambition, mutation, and what waits below. Each day, roll tackle dice and choose whether to head to sea or work the port. Deeper decks hold more valuable—and more horrifying—fish, but difficult catches demand better rolls and invite costly regret. Caught fish can be eaten for immediate effects, sold for gear, or mounted for end-game value. Regret increases madness, expanding your dice pool while also making it possible to lose your most prized specimen. Competitive, solo, and cooperative campaign play all build stories from the same push-your-luck question: how much of yourself will you trade for one more impossible catch?
