A downloadable game for Windows

Gameplay Instructions:

  • Controller is STRONGLY recommended
  • Mouse is playable and all fish can be caught, but some fish will be significantly more difficult on mouse. I've tried to make playing on the mouse as approachable as possible, so if it's your only option that's alright, but the last type of fish is tough on any input device.
  • WASD / Left Analog Stick to move
  • Mouse / Right Analog Stick to control camera
  • Left Mouse / Bottom Face (Xbox: 'A', PS: 'X') to Fish
  • Mouse / Left Analog Stick to Reel in a fish
  • 'G' Key / Top Face (Xbox: 'Y', PS: Triangle) to Buy/Sell
  1. Approach the Water and aim so that a fishing reticle is visible.
  2. Press the Fish button to begin casting your line.
  3. Press the Fish button again to confirm your cast when the bar is full.
  4. Watch the bobber and wait for a fish to take interest.
  5. Once the bobber splashes, a fish has bit! Press the Fish button to begin reeling in!
  6. Use the Mouse or Left Analog stick to move the Reeling Arrow to match the pattern. If the arrows in the pattern make it to the edge of the circle your line will snap!
  7. After catching your fish, decide whether to keep or sell it.
  8. The more valuable the fish in your storage the better fish you'll be able to catch!
