The Fridge

Instead of wishlisting its game, the developer of my favorite Next Fest demo wants you to play anyone else’s: ‘There are some genuinely great creators in this fest who deserve the attention’

Of the thousands of demos on offer during the current Next Fest, I’ve far and away been most fond of About Fishing, The Water Museum’s downright Lynchian “fishing mystery game” of surrealist, psychological angling that’s eerie, absurd, and endearing in equal measure.

All in all, it was eight years between the game’s announcement—originally as…
