Saves you a refund- Players seeking a forgiving survival game may hit a wall when the lifeboat holds only one additional person and escape requires staying near it

- Players who avoid jumpscares may not enjoy the nighttime interruptions
Our take on Don't Sleep With The Fishes
The bounce point arrives during evacuation: the lifeboat accepts only one person besides the captain, so players must commit to a crew choice while racing to salvage supplies. Night interruptions create a second wall when no suitable item is available and sleeping again becomes the only remaining response.
What is Don't Sleep With The Fishes?
This point-and-click survival horror game places the player in command of a ship carrying out a covert delivery mission.
After the vessel is badly damaged, supplies must be gathered for a lifeboat before evacuation becomes necessary. Daytime activities include fishing, eating, completing small tasks, and speaking with one of three possible shipmates, while energy limits how much can be done before sleeping. Randomized finds and events change each attempt.
Night interruptions require an item-based response, though returning to sleep is sometimes the only available choice. The lifeboat can hold the captain and one other person, and staying close to it is required for escape. The game alternates between daytime and nighttime scenes and includes jumpscares, with multiple possible endings and survival occurring less often than death.
