COMPARE
GONE Fishing vs Lethal Company
Both are quota co-op horror games you play with friends on a cheap Steam purchase. GONE Fishing is the fishing and camp economy. Lethal Company is the scrap run and the company quota. That is the split I use.
I am not scoring “which is scarier.” GONE Fishing stacks its threat at night and around the Lake Entity. Lethal Company’s pressure is the dark facility and a sudden death. Players who want the slogan can have “Lethal Company but with fishing.” It is a community line, not a studio tag.
