Fans of Old Dreamcast Games Are Going to Go Gaga for This Strange Fishing Sim

by

We’ve covered About Fishing before – it’s a creepy fishing game originally made for the Dreamcast, created by The Water Museum.

This is the clearest glimpse we’ve had so far of this unusual game, which draws inspiration from titles like Shenmue and SEGA Bass Fishing. We’d also compare it to games like Seaman and Silent Hill.

This gameplay trailer shows the game is about much more than just fishing. It also includes a mystery element where you’ll use your fishing rod to solve puzzles.

The story of this game is still a bit unclear, but the developers are really emphasizing how realistic the simulation will be.

Here’s what the press release says:

Life flows around you, shaped by the changing seasons and everyday moments. You see fish swimming below, people going about their lives, and the town subtly transforming. Everyone you encounter has their own stories and simple pleasures. Their lives intertwine with yours, gradually making this place feel like a comforting home.

Absolutely, the game has that detailed, open-ended gameplay you’d anticipate from something influenced by Shenmue.

This is exactly what we wanted, and we love the nostalgic look of the game, complete with its pixelated edges and retro feel from the early 2000s.
