Although a little repetitive, this game offers some interesting mechanics for a fishing game. From weird mutations to underwater menaces, the game gives you some nice horror elements that you wouldn't normally see in a fishing game. The fishing in the game is entirely arcade and not realistic in the least, so if you're looking for a realistic fishing game, this won't be the right game for you. Fishing is done through a minigame, where you just click at the right times. This isn't a negative, though. It works well for this game and keeps the pace going. You will meet a variety of unusual and interesting characters and be given a variety of different quests to complete. There are a multiple upgrades to your boat and gear available. Storage while fishing requires fitting everything in by rotating things and moving things around. When you're at a dock, you can move things to your storage if you're not selling it in order to save space. And when you get a trawling net, all fish caught with that stay in the net, letting you get more fish without needing the extra space. Overall, this is a good game and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in a mix of horror and fishing. It may become too repetitive to want to replay the game after you finish it once, but you should get a lot of enjoyment out of it before then.

i love it so much :( i could fish for hours. fantastic worldbuilding

wonderful game, would recommend :)

A wonderfully atmospheric resource gathering game with a series of mysterious nautical quests. Has some very surprising Lovecraftian elements to it. Not done in any sort of grotesque way, rather a cross between Tim Burton and Wes Anderson. No violence at all unless you count fishing, and terrors from the deep.

Simple gameplay but eerie mysteries keep you pushing your luck till you discover that there is always a bigger fish. Still haven't seen how the time mechanic really effects things beyond when story elements can trigger but other than that really good indie game.
