When you start out the game there's a fun mix of grinding to upgrade your ship and avoiding the scary things that swim in the depths. As you progress through the game however, the threats stop being scary and become more of just a part of the scenery. Much like the characters of the town (and most eldritch horror stories) you become complacent and go about your life while the threat of horrors from the deep become just another obstacle. It really immerses you into a dreary town you always see depicted in eldritch horror, but in a way where you just get to be one of those people who gets cozy and just watches the weird stuff happen. It becomes a cozy fishing and exploration game for the later half and it's still pretty fun. Overall I'd give the game a 9/10. It's like what the Zelda games Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass felt like as a kid but with more fishing
