Fishing Paradiso by Odencat -- a fishing RPG with melodramatic backstories and a weird and wonky theology that still manages to reel you in.

From a game design perspective, this is a fine example of how to set up progression, all done at various levels -- the abilities, the opponents, the character stories, and the location reveals. Not too difficult in game mechanics but does take time to complete. From Google Play.

Caution / spoilers: some stories touch on death and suicide, and there are some creepy visuals and characters. Be aware when letting kids play, as you may need to give them some guidance.

Steam link, pleased to say demo works for Windows, Steam Deck (which means Linux), and Mac. Pretty sure this is Fishing Paradiso

Thanks! I corrected the title. Good to know it's also on Steam.

4.8 in the app store, only 75 mb and it’s got great reviews, people seem to like the story. I went ahead and downloaded it. Sounds relaxing lol

The world could always use more fishing games

Good enough for me. I've installed it to my phone and I'll probably never play it or think about it again, but there's a chance I'll give it a try someday!
