Deep Sea Dread: Everything You Need to Know About UMIGARI
The masters of Japanese psychological horror are back. If you’ve ever felt a chill while staring into the dark, murky depths of the ocean, Chilla’s Art has crafted a nightmare specifically for you. Their latest title, UMIGARI (ウミガリ), takes the serene concept of a fishing simulator and drags it through a surreal, liminal hellscape that only this developer could envision.
What is UMIGARI? (Intro & Premise)
UMIGARI presents itself as a first-person harpoon fishing game.
However, as is tradition with Chilla’s Art, the "ordinary" quickly becomes "uncanny." The more you explore, the more the environment shifts. The fish begin to look... wrong. What starts as a quiet day on the water slowly descends into a high-tension survival experience where the atmosphere is thick enough to choke on.
Game Details: Release Date, Genre, and Developer

⚠️ SPOILERS AHEAD: The Full Lore Explained ⚠️
If you haven’t played the game yet and want to experience the terror for yourself, stop reading here. The lore of UMIGARI is a deep, cynical commentary on nature and human greed.
The Great Inversion
The world of UMIGARI is a "wet hell." A massive flood has covered the earth, and a divine curse has struck the planet, causing a total role reversal between humans and sea life.
In this reality, humans have been transformed into mindless, screaming fish-like abominations.
The Key Entities
The Whale (The God):
A massive, omnipotent deity who cast the curse. He grew tired of hearing the screams of fish being slaughtered and decided to give humanity a taste of their own medicine. The Umiga (The Stalker):
A terrifying creature with a giant female head that hunts you in the open water. She represents the ocean’s literal wrath. Goldfish Man: A former goldfish who now exists in a humanoid form.
He serves as a hypocrite in the story, practicing cannibalism because he believes "the strong eat the weak," proving that power corrupts regardless of species.
The Ending Explained
The game culminates in a confrontation with The Whale.
Ending A (The Cycle of Violence): If you admit humans are inherently evil or simply try to revert the world, the curse is lifted.
Everything goes back to "normal." However, the ending is bleak; it implies that humanity has learned nothing and the cycle of slaughtering nature will simply begin again. Ending B (Coexistence): By arguing that empathy and intelligence can bridge the gap between species, you trigger an ending where the world remains changed, but a new, strange form of coexistence begins.
It suggests that humanity as we know it is gone, replaced by something fundamentally different.
The ultimate horror of UMIGARI isn't the monsters in the water—it’s the revelation that as soon as the fish (the oppressed) gained power, they immediately became fishermen (the oppressors).
