Thalassomania Trailer Shows A Fishing Crew Facing Something Aboard
The pitch ties the co-op job sim to the old PlayStation horror look and then uses the work itself as the split-up mechanic: tasks send players to different parts of the boat, so being alone is built into the design rather than left to the players.

Off The Hook Games has released the announcement trailer for Thalassomania, a 1-to-4-player co-op horror game built around the look of the original PlayStation era. Players crew a fishing boat that an uninvited "something" has slipped aboard, hauling nets, processing fish, piloting the boat, and making repairs while facing the threat in the dark. The game is planned for PC via Steam, with a demo set for October 26 local time.
The tasks are spread across the boat, so the co-op requirement cuts both ways. Hauling nets, processing fish, piloting, and repairs cannot all be done from one spot, and splitting up means someone ends up alone whether they want to or not.
Off The Hook Games is aiming at PC via Steam, with a 1-to-4-player range that lets a crew run short or full. A demo is set for October 26 local time, before the full release.
