GO PHISH

GO PHISH is a hard-hitting blend of Go Fish mechanics and high-stakes hacking fiction. Build a hand, collect four cards of the same value to strike at an opponent’s firewall, then watch as retaliation reshapes the fight. Equip your deck with over a dozen distinct suits, each bringing its own strategic twist—negate requests, unleash poison, or set protective booby traps in your own hand. Use powerful items to tilt fights in your favor and watch the digital dollars roll in.

Core gameplay

• Collect and play cards in a Go Fish-inspired battle to accumulate four of a kind and deal damage to the target’s firewall.
• Choose from a wide range of suits, each with unique abilities that shape what you can negate, poison, or trap in the fight.
• Use in-game items to turn difficult engagements in your favor and maximize your earnings from successful hacks.

Social engineering layer

Before you can hack, you’ll need to talk your way in. The dynamic dialogue system tests your ability to maintain the victim’s trust by asking the right questions. If you slip up, they hang up, and your opportunity slips away. Scrutinize the conversation for keywords and run them through your in-game password cracker to unlock bigger data rewards. The better your phish, the more valuable the data you obtain—though it may come with a heavier moral cost.

Story and stakes

Seven days ’til eviction sets a merciless clock. You’re a computer science graduate drowning in debt, living in a cramped apartment, and rent is due soon. The stress meter rises as hacks get tougher, and you must balance smarter raids with your mental state. Spend tiny luxuries—like a $25 chocolate bar—to dampen stress, but every choice nudges you deeper into a gritty, high-pressure chase for cash.

What you’ll feel

A tense, strategic card battle with a edgy cyberpunk vibe, where every play, every keyword found, and every purchase can determine whether you thrive or crumble under the clock. GO PHISH invites you to balance cunning play, social dexterity, and ruthless resource management in a game that treats hacking as a high-stakes, fictional game of wits.
