Your grandfather left you a deed to his house when he died. Moving from the stress of the city to a small town far in the north, Your goal is to try to find calmness in nature and enjoy the fishing that you and your grandfather used to share together.

Without your knowledge something stirs in the depths.

I would enjoy the game if any fish located deeper than surface level were actually catchable.

I can literally hit their head and stuff but they jsut dont get on the hook :-(

Sadly this is where we have failed. We need to teach the player that you can use smaller fishes from earlier levels too catch the bigger ones. Currently working on a bait system specifically to get it more obvious. we are still very VERY thankful that you gave the game a try :)

oh so you need to catch small fish to lure in middle fishand with that catch bigger fish?

I see, might give it another try then :-)
