    Crabmeat is a chill crabbing game, nothing but you and the waves, until it’s not and you have to defend your ship from the giant crabs.

    Crabmeat offers a part thriller, part fishing sim experience that explores fishing, or more specifically crabbing in a more in depth way than many games do with the obligatory fishing mini-game. Whether you’d like to find out more about the hostile crabs, the Feudostate, or just want to spend some time crabbing, this game could fulfill any of those options.

    Taking major inspiration from other indie games in both gameplay and graphical design, Crabmeat is a fun, decently paced horror fishing game with incredible attention-to-detail and lackluster visuals.

    Crabmeat is a strange game with a very unique take on horror. If you like short, slow-paced experiences where you can enjoy the anticipation before the twist, check this one out.
