Pierline

Pierline is a short first-person psychological horror game. The player takes the role of Daniel Hayes, a traffic officer in Florida, who goes to fish overnight at an old pier on the coast after a friend suggests the spot. The pier appears quiet and largely deserted at the outset, and the game follows how the night develops from there.

Gameplay is built around exploring the pier and its surroundings, fishing, examining the area and interacting with the environment as events progress. The player is expected to observe details in the setting and work out what has happened there. Alongside fishing, the game includes a binoculars mechanic and general environmental interaction.

The game is set in a location inspired by the Florida coast and presents its visuals in a realistic style with an analogue, VHS-inspired look. It has a compact narrative and a running time of approximately 20 minutes. Pierline has been released on Steam, where it currently has a small number of user reviews.
