Fishing mini-game: the game is not hooking me. It doesn't help that the main big rpg element is just random battles against wild life who want to steal your fish and bait. Also actually baiting and then catching fish feels very unengaging and uninteresting. I feel like I would have likely been very underwhelmed with this title as a child.

I don't know where... I don't know how... I don't know when... but I've played this game. This is the ghostliest nostalgia I've ever experienced.
