this game is so peaceful. love the muted color palette, the minimalist pixel art, and the sparse, somber, vibey soundtrack. I also love how the soundtrack becomes more intricate as the protagonist finds their confidence; that's a very clever touch! the narrative is relatable and touching; I really felt for the protagonist, and their desire to take on a more free-spirited and artistic approach to fishing. the stakes are high at this fishing school lol. feels like an allegory for how small we are, and the desire to enjoy a slower pace of life. great work, I would 100% play a more developed version of this!
also I want to catch a doughfish
