About

Some time after the events of VVVVVV, Viridian and the crew explore the depths of an unknown planet. But watch out... it might not be what you expect. This mod was created for the VVVVVV Discord server's 2025 April Fools project. Intended as a bait-and-switch, it's revealed to be an exploration-based fishing simulator, with beautiful art and many different fish to catch. Created in a week and a half by NyakoFox (Alexandra Fox) and mothbeanie, VVVVVV: The Depths is the first full mod of VVVVVV with a fresh, new campaign. As it does not contain VVVVVV's paid content, it is available for free.
