Pierline

Pierline is a short first-person psychological horror game developed around a single night at an old pier on the Florida coast. Players take the role of Daniel Hayes, a traffic officer who heads to the pier for a night of fishing on the recommendation of a friend. The location initially appears quiet and nearly deserted, with calm water and little sign of anything unusual.

The gameplay centres on exploring the pier and its surroundings, fishing, and interacting with objects in the environment as the night progresses. The game includes fishing and binocular mechanics alongside general environmental exploration. Players are encouraged to observe their surroundings closely in order to piece together the events that took place at the pier.

The game presents a short, focused narrative with realistic visuals and an analog/VHS-inspired atmosphere. A full playthrough lasts approximately 20 minutes.
