You'll need all your angling and survival skills to succeed in this unique fishing RPG. On a perilous quest to capture a mysterious and mystical fish, you'll deploy a variety of tackle in both quiet lakes and raging rapids. Along the shores, dangerous animals are a constant threat. To get supplies, you'll sell some of your catch at village markets. You can also try your hand at raising a pet fish from embryo to adult and watch as it grows and even changes species!

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.
