Welcome back for your Daily Dose of indie horror! Today’s dose is something of a fishing game, though one closer to Monster Hunter than most. Created by developer Steb, this prototype is called What Lives Below (the answer is mostly gigantic fish gods).

In What Lives Below you are the captain of a teeny tiny fishing vessel. Sailing out into the open sea, you use your radar to track down gigantic sea monsters that soar through the sky. You must take them down with well timed harpoons while driving the ship to avoid their strikes. With four levels, each with an increasing number and intensity of fish gods, this game is more of intense action rather than horror.
