I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy this much. There’s just something really satisfying about catching fish and slowly figuring things out as you play. I also really like how chill the whole game feels. You can just sit back, fish, explore a bit, and enjoy the game without it constantly throwing stuff at you. One of the funniest things was being able to revive your friend by literally slapping them. It’s such a stupid little thing, but it had me laughing every time. It’s simple, but that’s probably what I like about it the most. Definitely a fun little game that I’d recommend if you just want something relaxing to play.

Fun! But it ends pretty quick and there's nothing to do after that. There's no replay value either. I don't think it's worth it for the money when compared to other games like Peak or REPO.
