Wow okay even with the tagline I was not expecting a fishing game to hit me with such big emotions. Really great writing that managed to do a lot for characters and their stories without being too wordy, and felt weighty while still being fun. The variety of fish kept things exciting and the gear progression felt really good too! I liked that there were more than a couple improvements to make but they were always noticeable. A special note that I played with a cat in my lap and she was basically hypnotized by the rod animation, so extra unintended theme points lol.
