About Fishing is a spooky murder mystery fishing adventure where calming gameplay gradually uncovers a mysterious narrative lurking beneath tranquil waters.
In About Fishing you cast your line into peaceful lakes and rivers while discovering distinct fish species with unique behaviors and patterns. The game blends relaxing fishing mechanics with subtle storytelling as each catch potentially reveals fragments of a forgotten mystery. What starts as simple fishing slowly transforms into something more profound as you discover things beneath the surface that were perhaps never meant to be found.
In the full game you’ll trade your catches for better equipment, upgrade your fishing gear, and unlock new fishing spots with deeper waters hiding rarer specimens. The town around you will change with passing days, weather will shift, and NPCs will follow their own routines, creating a living world that gradually feels like home.
The About Fishing playtest is essentially a prologue to the full game and takes place when your character was a young girl, learning about fishing from her grandpa. There are several fish to catch and more than fish lurking in the depths.
It’s an oddly calm, but also eerie and surreal game with a Twin Peaks-esque atmosphere. The retro styled visuals are beautiful, with the uncanny way the faces are mapped onto the characters being particularly cool. Also, the story is very intriguing and the actual fishing mechanics are cleverly implemented. A fishing mystery adventure that’ll have you instantly hooked. Highly recommended.
