Publisher Playstack and developer The Water Museum have released a new gameplay trailer for Shenmue and SEGA Bass Fishing-inspired fishing mystery game About Fishing.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
About Fishing is a fishing mystery game that blends the calm, meditative rhythm of fishing with the quiet tension of discovery. It drifts between serenity and unease, as every catch brings you closer to uncovering what lies beneath.
Key Features
- Fishing is Everything – Each catch feels distinct, with its own patterns and behaviors waiting to be learned. Cast your line, trade your catch, upgrade your gear and explore new depths.
- Fishing for Clues – Every cast is a chance to uncover something unexpected. The fish you catch become your guides, helping you reach fragments of a long-forgotten mystery hidden beneath the surface. You can lose yourself in the calm of fishing or follow the clues the water offers.
- A Place Where You Belong – The world around you moves with time and weather. Fish linger beneath the surface, people follow quiet routines, and the town changes with each passing day. Each person you meet carries their own memories and small joys. Their lives unfold around you, drawing you closer to the peace of a place that slowly begins to feel like home.
