A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Enter a strange and colorful world with your journal and trusty fishing rod to reel up the secrets that lurk within. Upcast Blue is a 3D open-world RPG brainchild of UCLA students, designed with a distinctly cozy and mysterious atmosphere in mind.

Please note that this demo is unfinished, as the jungle is currently "unbeatable", since two satellites are soft-locked. We are also sorting through a few bugs and working to improve UX. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

First off, I enjoyed playing this game! While the fishing takes some getting used to, once I was able to figure out the correct motion, it was quite intuitive. Props to the character and world designs coupled with a subtle narrative that doesn't guide you to the answers, but instead asks you to explore. Loved it!
