## Transcript

John, this is many a true nerd and welcome to about a fishing, which is a game about fishing, but not just fishing, it's also a sort of a mystery horror game because seriously, for some reason horror fishing is just a genre
these days. And the funny thing is I've yet to actually play one that's not been a good time. Horror and fishing just seem to go together, damn it. And okay. We begin with a fishing portal.
Not traditionally how Oh, blow me. Okay, possibly we're also going to be needing hedgehogs for this game. I'm not 100% sure. I didn't look into this. And right, that's a fishing hook and Oh, you're a mermaid.
makes sense. Doesn't make a huge amount of sense, but okay, possibly, you know, That kind of makes sense in a horror game, absolutely. But for some reason a mermaid just has free to fish and then
I mean, I assume this is my fishing hook, so wait for the bites, not the whispers. It's very philosophical, but um What button am I supposed to be Oh,
was right trigger. Rotate the fish, keep him pointed forwards. Is it forwards towards me or forwards towards Yes, yes, there we go. Presumably forwards towards me so he
can't kick away or anything. So there we go, just keep him going it towards me, go, just keep him going it towards me, please. Pull him out of the water and he wants out of the water, presumably. I have a fish. And presumably that's me.
Oh, I like my fishing rod. Hot pink and whatnot, that's lovely. So fish at this Like, I've got a fish and I could like, you know, do a fun
and I could like, you know, do a fun dance with the fish and whatnot, but um game? And oh, I pressed A and and right, that officially confirms that I've decided that I want to keep the fish, I guess.
one of those, you know, weird games and out what's going on as we go. Bit of a miserable day for fishing, mind, even if I do have a really bloody fabulous rods. Still, keep on keeping on, mosey around
the corner because okay. I think I may be wanting to, you know, show this a fish I caught to my dad or whatnot. And that fish in your hands. Yeah, he's giving it to me to evaluate, lovely.
Come on, dad, tell me you're proud of me and to what a lovely fish I caught. What's her name? Lucille Lucas. I'm going to say Lucy. Lucy's a nice name.
Gives it an examine. Sort of an angel fish, by the way. I'm not very good at fish, but the butterfly of the sea, apparently. Lucy. Hmm.
It's growing on me. You know, these little guys don't usually care about hooks. I've lost all afternoons trying to get just one to look at me. Oh, buddy of mine, though, he couldn't catch anything else.
Ever. Drove him crazy. Starts just swallowing them whole. Said it stung less than unhooking it and tossing them back. Okay, this is my guess. We're on some sort of a weird haunted fish island or
something. And how did I catch her? Tell me, Patience, or You know what? That is true. A mermaid did release it out of a bottle and then like popped it next to my hook. So, I
feel like I was getting supernatural assistance. Possibly that was what was mermaid just fancied them. And a mermaid? I feel like my dad doesn't believe me. Are you sure?
I'm going to say yes, albeit with some uncertainty, cuz I did see the mermaid, but possibly I was just, you know, imagining it being as I am a kid and to move on. Possibly he doesn't believe me.
And would you like a curly fry? I've ruined my appetite. These are the best kind. Love the ones with that slight orange hue. I would not say no to a fry. That does sound delicious. And our hands are a bit
ripe with fish at the moment. Why don't you put it away in my tackle box here? you put it away in my tackle box here? They go out and catch a few more. So, Sorry, is this a Resident Evil 4 fish briefcase?
10 out of 10, game of the year. Also, I could just rotate the fish. Which you can always do in Resident Evil briefcase scenarios, but it's just a funnier when it's a fish that's being rotated. Step the next, I need to learn how to cast.
So, hold right trigger, aim for a good spot. Then adjust my aim. Ready the rod and oh. We're doing proper like, you know, physics casting. We're going to be flicking the analog stick. Got it. Okay.
Step one, just in case he gets his appetite back. No, no, not not dad. Don't speak to dad. Just want a flipping curly fry, all right? And no, I just wants the fry, dad. Ah, hang on. I'm not allowed fries until yes, I do some more
fishing. So, okay. He said to look for a good spot. I've decided next to a waterfall is a good spot. good spot. So, prepare thing, then hang on.
Pull back and then wait wait wait wait wait wait. enough attention, clearly. I mean, this is kind of fun, too, cuz I feel like I'm like, you know, pretending my fishing rod is a light saber right now. So,
that's fun as well. Okay, I think what I need to do is, yes, pick the spot. Aim at it, pull back, and then as I flick forward, release right trigger. flick forward, release right trigger. So, there we go.
The problem is, oh. Okay, I do see a fish over there, but also, um I kind of been noticed that, yes, my lovely pole was just being pushed away by the current, so. There may be good reasons not to fish
right next to a waterfall. Yes. Okay, we'll drive over here away from the waterfall. I may have picked like the one bad spot in this entire area. So, okay, just, you know, pick a nice spot over there. That'll do nicely. Flick and
forward and release. Okay, that looks pretty shallow, actually. Oh, yeah, that's really shallow. There's a much deeper bit right next to me. So, okay. Head over here. Nice deep bit.
See if I can spot any fish, by the way. I can't see any, but I assume there's like, you know, some fish somewhere around here. Here we go. This looks better. No fish mind, but I did see a big one
over there. So, okay, let's go hunting for you, my friends. Like somewhere over there, a little bit further away, I think. That's too far. That I think looked about right. So, back and release.
And come on, buddy. Where were you? There we go. There we go. How do we get your attention, though? Hang up. Okay. I can give it a wiggle with A.
this out for myself, all right. I'm teaching myself fishing cuz my dad's too lazy to do it. Yeah, I think I want to go way over there. All right, right over go way over there. All right, right over there. Back, release. So, you're nice
over here. This should be a right on top of Oh, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Hello, Mr. Fish. Hello. Wait. I have to wait for him to properly bite it, not the nibble. And there we go. Right. Now,
we just have to turn him round, get him above the significantly bigger than the one the mermaid gifted me. Also, I forgot to doing a good job teaching me how to fish here.
When you're fighting bigger fish, be mindful of your line. The heavier the fish or the more they're facing away from you, the harder it is on your line. The line will start making noises and turning red till it finally snaps. If
you feel that coming, just stop reeling, let the line relax. Okay. There's a bit of, you know, give and take going on here. Luckily, the fish hasn't left off. So, right, wait for it to No. Wait for it to properly bite. Give it a
wiggle. It seems it properly bites. Start reeling. Let's try and go. Let's try and go. Right, just turn him away if we can.
Watch out for the No, stop, stop, stop. Now, start pulling again. When you see the red, just stop for a second and give him a sec. Pull him in. He's definitely getting closer here. And oh, now I fell. It's the rumble pack.
The rumble pack gives it away as well. And no, stop him. Let him pull in this direction. Yeah, once we've got him Oh, we got him. And significantly bigger than that. But it turns out, yes, he just looked big cuz
underwater. Look, I still think this is a big step forward for me, okay? That's another fish. You're not wrong, but you know, congrats would be nice as well. Do you feel like you handled it with care?
I mean, on the sixth attempt when we got it, yes. Right, in you go. And now we just learn just the basics of fish catching. Right, one more fish and I can catching. Right, one more fish and I can have it, yes, the curly fries.
Cuz I'm pretty sure I did see one over here, so right. I know that the hook's going to be like, you know, pushed away by the water. But if I Yeah, just kind of cast over there,
then I can catch the fish on the way past. So, yeah, there we go. There we go. There we go. There we go. There we go. In fact, to fish, but theoretically, this could work.
I'm just kind of, you know, use this rock to There we go. Right, now just to pull him, pull him around. I can't hook him. No, release, release, release. is going to be This is going to be a problem. Or you
could just jump. Jumping is fine, too. Please get around There we go. Right, not I need to not go back the other way, though. I need to not go back the other way. Okay, just a reel him in. But yes, I've just got to Oh, you are putting up
one hell of a fight. Please, no, don't go back that way. Don't go back that Oh, bloody hell, this fish is causing me trouble. Right, just jump over the top. That's fine. That's fine. I just need to bring him a little bit closer. Stop
Okay, I think I've got him clear of the rock. I think I've got him clear of the rock. I think I've got him clear of the rock. And now you are definitely bigger. All right. Do a nice little fish dance there. That's lovely. In fact,
delightful. I'm having a lovely time. I'm also deeply concerned that I think what happened there is um pressed the wrong button. And as a result of that, I kind of, you know, deleted that fish as opposed to
know, deleted that fish as opposed to putting it into the case or whatnot. So, Okay, there's a pier here. That's got to mean something, all right? I'm just going to like, you know, go way over this direction. There we go. There's got
to be something nearby to the pier. up the box, what I really need to do is, yeah, find that bloody mermaid. She
would definitely fill up the box. Oh, hang on. There's one thing under the Just, yeah. Underneath the actual wooden bit there. I just need to get your attention, my friend. Yeah, you look quite large,
actually. So, right, if we want to catch you, I need to, yeah, perfect wild. Hang on, just you down, maybe. Yeah, there-ish. And go. Let's push over
How close do I need to be to get your attention, very skinny fish over there? Come on. I Yeah, I think the fish are perfectly still. I just need to find a
way to get close enough to Oh. He just slightly bent there, but now he's not actually moving. So, okay, we need to get a better angle. Need to somehow, yeah, get right under this thing.
So, all right. Can I do that with Oh, hang on. Can I Oh. I need to do like underarm fishing. Is that a thing? No, that doesn't feel legit to me. That feels as fantastical
as mermaids. But, yeah, I think I've just about got his attention. All right, underarm fishing. That's the trick. Come on, buddy. Come on. It's It's right there. Come get the delicious, tasty
this hook. I'm just basically hoping a fish come bite on the hook cuz they feel fish come bite on the hook cuz they feel like it. Oh, now this this old [ __ ] like it. Oh, now this this old [ __ ] could do. Right, if you just come on in.
could do. Right, if you just come on in. Third time's a charm, no. Wait. go. There we go. There we go. There we go. The promise Oh, there's so much
cocking There's so much cocking stuff in the way. Okay, release. And calm down. He's going to get himself all cocky tied up in a second. Turn him Turn him to me. Turn him to me. Release for a second. Yeah, just focus on the turning. No,
way. Don't go that way. Give him a second. Get him out of the water and Once you stay focused on turning the fish in the right direction, everything is fine. Oh, and Amadan's moved over here. Right, I think I caught like
he's definitely just moved. And yeah, I definitely kind of, you know, released that other fish by mistake. I didn't mean to, but I did. So, you just go in there. That's fine, buddy. And they're gathering again.
Okay, that's slightly ominous. Do you see them? Oh, is it the yellow Do you see them? Oh, is it the yellow fish we started with? Yeah, it's Lucy. revenge. I get the feeling
I get the feeling they want you this time and not me. You think you're ready? I'm going to say maybe cuz apparently these are like special magic fish. I spend a lot of time with fish,
desperately trying to get into the fish's head, feel what they feel. And I fish's head, feel what they feel. And I can say for certain that once caught, fish actually get pretty depressed. That is a reasonable assumption to make,
yes. So, on this occasion, I should look for a fish I trust or a fish that trusts you. And if I want to Right, I can remove a fish from the box and use that fish to find whatever it is
these tangs want to show us. And, oh, right, tangs, not angelfish. Angelfish are, I think, much bigger. Right, they're tangs, apparently. Find the secret, wrap your line around it, bring it in.
can just access it anytime I want, so, uh, to release Lucy. Lucy was kind of my friend. You and me, needlefish, I think because you were fairly easy to catch. So, okay, now I've got a fish.
Yeah. Line up the old, uh, thing. Line up the old, uh, thing. Just bring it back and go. So, okay, I'm kind of using you as I'm not really bait, but
walk? Is that how fish work? I'm not 100% sure Is that how fish work? I'm not 100% sure that's how fish work, but I think there might be No, don't don't get stuck. Don't get stuck on a bloody
thing. It's like cooking taking Ted for a walk. He gets himself wrapped around trees on occasion, too. So, right, okay, THIS OH, I'M OH, I'M REALLY SORRY. I think I've annoyed Okay, okay, yep, yep, I've annoyed I've annoyed the fish.
I've annoyed the fish, right. Bring Tim back. I think we might need to use Lucy. Cuz I feel like, yeah, the, uh, fish were being a bit angry. Right, Lucy,
Right, Lucy, I assume you are going to be like safe down there. So, hang on, they were Where were they? Where was the hole? Can't see very well. I think it's that
over there. So, okay. I assume that's the Is that the depth? Cuz it's not the distance, cuz yeah, it's getting bigger as I get closer. it's getting bigger as I get closer. I think it's like over here. So, go.
All right. Don't mind me. How do you do, fellow tangs? Just getting over here. Yeah, they're happy with Lucy.
Somehow we're still going. I've no idea how we're possibly still Oh. sudden. How on earth am I still on the line
here? This is not how fish or fishing lines or anything work, but lines or anything work, but Oh, I found the title screen. Right. So, I think we've just found a corpse.
just wrap wrap around it wrap around it wrap around it. Lucy, this one's on you. wrap her around. Yeah, there we go. There we go. There we go. There we go. Then tie a nice little bow. Once we've got her,
bring her in. No No No Lucy. Lucy is supposed to be supposed to get this corpse back to the surface? I mean, her arms definitely got
surface? I mean, her arms definitely got physics on it. So, oh Oh, hang on. Go on, Lucy. Lucy, you can do it. I believe in you.
Just just just pull. Pull, Lucy. Or like vibrate and possibly glitch. I don't know. Stuff's getting weird both the way in the underwater cave where my psychic in the underwater cave where my psychic pet fish has led me and
right now, but it's a bit on the creepy side. Yes. psychically bonded with that corpse. Oh! Sorry. Just Just hang on. Hang on.
The mermaid's here again. And I think the mermaid just uh Well, that was a cool but deeply weird opening. You know what? Let's not worry about the mermaid corpse or whatnot. Let's just
enjoy some delicious curly fries. Although Oh, never mind. Somehow we did get the corpse out anyway. And seriously, Dad, I do not know how this happened. Like stuff got weird. And also sometimes I have psychic
caught because I don't know I'm some sort of fish medium or something, but entirely disbelieve me about the mermaid. So, I'm going to say that yes,
the corpse grabbed my line, then a fish freed Lucy. Assuming Lucy's still there. Possibly Lucy is free now and hanging out with the other tanks. It's hard to And right, apparently this is one of the missing girls.
So, okay. As apparently yes, multiple missing people in this small fishing society or something. And I've just have found one of them. So, go on then.
There were two of them. Siblings, maybe twins. Strawberry blonde. Yeah, that matches what we've got here. And which case where's the other sibling?
I don't know. From what I understand, that they were inseparable. So, right and Oh, she's wrapped in plastic. Sorry, realize we were just doing a fishing Twin Peaks. But we're just doing a
fishing Twin Peaks. Got it. So, okay. This all happened to maybe a month ago. Police found an empty boat washed ashore the other day, thinking they were supposed to be on it. So, okay.
What about the boat? Looking for clues, that's all anyone knows. So, yes. Should we like, you know, go fishing with my psychic pet fish to look for the other sister or something? And okay.
My dad doesn't seem too interested in getting involved in the mystery. Kid shouldn't be comfortable asking all these questions. This is not normal. You're right, there's all sorts of bits
normal. So, okay. I think possibly my dad just wants to move on. Then we should probably let the police know under the circumstances, yes.
Still, I'll try to cut the hook loose. Okay, this has been a a weird day out at the beach for this small child, yes.
Okay. My dad's taking us somewhere. My dad's taking us somewhere. Just stay here and keep fishing. You never know. Maybe your psychic fish will tell you
something else or whatnot. And yes, indeed, I think the fish may be witnesses to a murder. And as a result, I can use my psychic fish powers to solve the murder. So, what? Well, this game is delightfully weird.
Well, this game is delightfully weird. Oh, except hang on. Hang on a hang on a hang on. I think we just did a time skip. >> [music] >> So, right.
Presumably, you know, that mystery was never properly solved. Though I used to believe my dad just never came back. And that child has just been, you know, surviving on fish and the remnants of some Cody fries up for the past 6 years.
So, that was the tutorial in the past and now I want to go back in time. I mean, that fishing line feels just way more sensible, but also way less fabulous and I'm just not happy about
that in the slightest. So, Right. This is my apartment. I can't open that door by the looks of I can't open that door by the looks of it and also
Yes, there's also just torn photos floating around and um Okay, things possibly haven't been going a great for me since that day at the beach because I appear to like, you know, live in a very tiny apartment on a
mattress sleeping in my fishing gear and also I imagine fish. Ah, though possibly it was my grandpa not my dad. So, he's at the church below it. It's been a while since I visited him. Her too. So, right, that'll be my
granddad teaching me how to fish back in the day. And right, I see. My terrifying and mystery board is now on the flip side of my Resident Evil 4 briefcase. side of my Resident Evil 4 briefcase. Lovely. So, right, local twins missing.
There was, yes, a bit of hair I took from one of the corpses. Bit creepy, but whatever. Grandpa's office door had been locked a long before I left. So, that'll be the locked door I just saw.
I'm guessing a psychic fish is going to give me the key at some point or another. So, okay, things we are now looking for underwater using psychic looking for underwater using psychic fish. Key to my grandpa's office and
missing a person corpse. Gotcha. You're just stepping outside and looking around I'm suddenly getting some, you know, suddenly deadly premonition of vibes here. And Deadly Premonition did have a fishing mini game. Just you know what?
One little mini game very briefly. This is like an entire cooking game of that, which is delightful. I do appreciate, by the way, having absolutely no quest markers or journals or anything. You just need to like nose around and work
under the assumption that yes, my main character is basically obsessed with fishing. So, screw it. Find body of water, fish, and hope the psychic fish lead me somewhere. Though, technically there's nothing to like stop me
fishing anywhere. So, I could if I wanted to, you know, maybe use my fishing line for puzzles or what not. Anyway, have a poke around. There's a house here. Possibly I've just
to say. And also Hang on. Hang on a hang on a hang on. I just walked into this house and I was able to turn right and then I go up a giant spiral staircase.
Okay, so basically nothing's going to make sense. Got it. Don't worry about anything making sense. In particular, architecture. In fact, architecture not making sense is probably really on the low end of the scale in terms of yes,
things not making a huge amount of cooking sense in this universe. So, uh Is that me as a child by any chance? Hello possibly me as a child. That looks like me as a child. Oh, and I had a DS. DS was a great console. Hello there, me
from the past. So, yes, possibly this is where me and my grandpa used to live. And as a result, I'm having a somewhat slightly weird wobbly memories. And
Never mind. Now, I'm a different child. Possibly I was just having, you know, a bit of a weird dream or something. Yeah, the kid's just going back to the DS now. I'm really sorry. I was just having a really weird bloody moment there for a
First visitor and she's a freak. something's a bit like not entirely right with me. Still, have a poke around, try and figure out what the cock's going on in here.
That's right. This maybe like an aquarium. I just don't see any bloody fish yet. And uh right, that would be why. Because if I want to I can put fish into
Because if I want to I can put fish into the aquarium. Okay, got it. So three fish would fill up this tank. Has to be, without a doubt. Okay, find a three fish and shove them
into tank. Possibly something happens. Ah, but not just a three fish. Bass. Need to get like a bass fish. Three fish with one more fish. So right, four fish and one of them has to be a
bass. You absolutely certain before I go catch the fish? Well, he's not saying anymore. Then we've got never mind, can't go upstairs yet. So uh right, that's the only room that's available.
My job is to fill up the bloody aquarium. Right, and on top of that I do say supermarket here. As lucky as you're being you I've got no money. Now actually, while I'm in this menu,
can I look at like my wallet? No, no I can't. Would have been nice to know what my name was, but I'm just going to assume I'm a human Lucy, okay? There's fish Lucy who I met when I was a child and I'm human Lucy. I
like, you know, walking into their shops, aquariums, etc., etc. Just That's delightful. Oh, and hello.
This guy sort of it me. How long's it been? My father sold the bait shop to a company years ago. They turned it into a company years ago. They turned it into a convenience store. However, my father
fought to keep fishing gear here. Argued with the new owners for weeks about what had to stay and what could go. So, right. I've come back to like solve the mystery or something, I guess. But, it feels like yes, possibly I've been away
for a while. And right, I can sell fish if I need a money as opposed to, you if I need a money as opposed to, you know, making donations to the aquarium. And alternatively, okay. You, sir, have got a lot of things.
Unfortunately, yeah, it all costs bloody money. Cuz yeah, right now there'll be some fish I literally can't get to cuz my line isn't long enough, say. So, right. We need to Metroidvania up my fishing line a bit before I can actually
access various fish. And the same with how deep my hook can go. Right. Well, let's not worry about that for now. Just mosey back outside and just step one,
find a bloody body of water. I'm pretty sure I saw yes, some steps over here. Nothing I can read there by the looks of it. So, okay. Through we go. And are we heading to yes, these same
And are we heading to yes, these same mysterious Oh. The church. So, before we get to fishing, yeah,
presumably my grandpa is somewhere around here Okay. If I want to like, you know, cut up some
of the fish or whatnot, need to do it at a designated spots. Now, which one of you is yes, my grandpa's grave? Ah. Possibly none of above.
It would appear that at some point at yes, the graveyard uh flooded. Now, speaking of which, I see something uh right about there. So, oh.
hang on. I was just going for yes, the fish, but also there's a skeleton with a glowy eye. The glowy eye is a knife, a free knife I don't have to pay for. So, you, Mr. catfish.
There we go. And Oh, no, I was a bit slow. Bit slow with you. Excuse me, like smaller fish. nibble? Cuz I feel like yes, possibly a smaller
fish might be a good starting point. So, yeah. Wait for you to There we go. Grab you. Oh, yeah, super easy. Super easy. Don't need to worry about anything because you are a tiny, tiny fish.
However, are you now a friend fish? And also, can I do like, you know, a nice little dance or whatever? I can do a nice little dance. I didn't stop doing dances with fish just because I grew up a bit. So,
fish just because I grew up a bit. So, now I've got you. Immediately equip you again. Can I use you to go and get that knife? So, all right, just drop you in there. And you, my friend, you know what? Oh,
oh, hang on. I'm being attacked. I'm being I'm being attacked by bigger fish. being I'm being attacked by bigger fish. This is fish bullying right here. Okay. because you're being bullied by the bigger fish. I need to get, yes, the
bigger fish before I can get the knife. Right. Well, I'm pretty sure I saw something bigger over there. So, yeah. Hang on, the big fish was definitely somewhere around here. Where'd you go, buddy? I see you.
I see a big underwater tomb. Right, possibly the fish only stays still in the tutorial. You, sir, are definitely on the move. So, right. At the rear, next to that gravestone. Just yeah, right about here
should do the job. But, that should be close to on top of you. Yeah, there we There we go. Let me get you some bait. You dance. Come on. Come have a nipple, please.
Oh, there we go. We got him. We got him. We got him. We got him. We got him. We got him on this occasion. Just give him a little bit of line to relax him. Wait for everything to chill out. Turn him round. Pull him in. Come on. Come on.
Come on. Towards me. Towards me. Towards me. Towards me. Just let him relax. Bring him back in. Turn him in this direction. Let the line relax a bit. direction. Let the line relax a bit. This feels like a big fish. I like oh.
Okay, keep on trying. We'll get you. Ah, but then again, hang on. There's another fish right over here. I'm pretty sure this is the one that was attacking me. You, sir, I'd like you
to come over here cuz you're a bit smaller. So, no, not you. Not you. This guy. I want this guy to come and just help me out, please. Problem being this guy is being too distracted by yeah, bullying the small fish.
at all. I need to go and get yeah, one of his friends over there. There's one right under that branch. Which I think it under that branch. Which I think it might be that branch right over there.
So, right. Just pop you right there, sir. And yeah, there we go. You are what I'm after. But I may need, yeah, better bait before I can attract certain of fish. Oh, but
hang on. Hang on. We've got one's attention at long last. Wait for him to bite. And once we've got you, we can use you to get that knife, I think. Cuz yeah, you're the same species as the bully.
At least to bear minimum. You're bigger than the small. Oh, we go. Right, bring Bring you in, buddy. Bring you in, buddy. Bring you in. Give him a bit of line and yeah, just No. No. No. No. No.
out. Turn him out. Turn him out. Bring him in. Come on, buddy. I've caught bigger talking fish than you in the past. You're not getting away from me. And there we go. Now got a big fish.
That's super cute, by the way. Sometimes catching fish triggers uh things to happen. Like, you know what? When you get back on land, someone new's arrived. And right, this woman's annoyed by a goose.
A goose that stole your goldfish. Not Joshua the goldfish. Okay, don't you worry, madam. I'm going to fix that for you. Okay, I see what's going on up there. I just need to, you know,
hit that flipping Yeah, there we go. Hit that and grab Oh. Okay, that got rid of the goose. That's a good first step right there. a good first step right there. However, no. No. No. No. And go.
Right, get up there. Get up there. Oh, now I've got him. Now I've got him. I got Joshua. Right, keep Joshua. Return Joshua to woman. I've successfully completed our fishing and mini quests.
Just give Joshua a quick celebratory spin, and marvelous. Are you returning him to me? Yes, yes I am, though Alternatively, I could just make squawking noises. Yes, possibly I do
have like some small issues or whatnot, though oh. She's very happy. Thank god, and thank you. And damn bird, he's never listened. He's a terrible habit of attacking anything even slightly orange.
And to cut him off, even though I love him. Okay, possibly I'm not the only weirdo in this town, got it. Unfortunately, she's got no money. So, yes, she can't really like reward me.
That's a bit of a shame. Ah, but she does have something. Ah, but she does have something. And that something is Did you just give me a giant crucifix? Can I use that to like, you know,
flipping expand my tackle box or whatnot? OH, I CAN as well, spot on. Oh, speaking of which, right, I did not realize this. I can just rearrange the
So, yeah, if you want like, you know, this to be over here for some reason, you know, rebuild the box however you want it to be. Right, that's one nice
And yeah, now that I've got that a bigger fish, hang on. You're apparently a bluegill. That's an angel fish. Equip you. You're now going to be my new
Equip you. You're now going to be my new best friend. So, okay. You, buddy. Can you go and like get me this knife or something? How does this work precisely? Cuz there's definitely a knife here, and
yeah, you're attacking me cuz we're part of the same species. But how precisely does one get this knife out of the skull? Ah, hang about. Hang about. Hang about.
Ah, hang about. Hang about. Hang about. Hang about. Right, you don't need a fish to collect items. You just need to Yes, get close enough by with the line and it will connect on. Also, it turns out I'm having a really
it's not just a fish I play with, dammit. So, okay, I've now got a fish and a knife. Apparently, my angel fish is so small it's not actually worth chopping up though. That's a bit of a shame. So, okay, step the next, find a
bigger fish. And yeah, while I'm doing it, just eyes open. See if I can find anything worthy of note. Like, I see something down there. A fish right at the bottom, but until I've got Yeah, a better hook, we're not
getting you, my friend. So, excuse me. Please mosey over here and pay attention to me. Okay, I need to Yeah, cast as far as I can over there. That is perfect.
So, right, give it a wiggle. And you, sir, are going to be mine. And okay, it's been a bit of a fight, but I think on this occasion we flippy got him. Oh, yeah. That's a big fish right there. Fish celebration
dance and magnificent. Right, and now you could definitely, one Right, and now you could definitely, one assumes, be chopped up. So, grab knife assumes, be chopped up. So, grab knife and then just do some chopping.
and then just do some chopping. There we go. Just supposed to do like this. Right, okay, hang on. Hang on. Oh, oh, what was I supposed to be Sorry, it's my first time cutting up a
fish. You know what? That was Oh, that wasn't that good. I thought I was doing doing that well. Like, that feels like better than two stars to me. So, yeah, that's that pond. And there's also a path here.
Does this go down to the beach by any chance? No, never mind. That's where I it's not. No, it's just just a path down to the same location. Sorry, my mistake. There's only one pond for the time
being. So, right. Keep on keeping on. We need to find, yeah, a nice fish and then do a better job of chopping it up. So, here we go. job of chopping it up. So, here we go. One of those big fish I saw earlier. I
of you. else over there as well. Excuse me, bunny. Yeah, there we go. You're giving me a look, say. And just to turn you around and to pull you in,
my friend. Oh. Okay, this may be a bit of a difficult fish to bring in because there are some small issues with the whole, you know, trees, etc., etc. That could be a bit of an issue. Absolutely. Just get him over
the top. Get him Get him over the top. Just pull him over the top, please. There we go. We got him over the difficult bit there. That's right. Just keep on pulling. Right. Got another one of you. Spot on. So, you're a bluegill
by default worth at $15. However, if I chop you up really nicely, so yeah. What we need to do is round that way. And once we're done with that, just around the outside. All right. Super careful.
So, grab the knife. And yet, do it correctly. So, round here. Right. And then once we're there, round to the outside. Right here.
Right here. Cut in the correct order, etc., etc. That, I think, is pretty good. I mean, that's got to be like at least three and a half. Bloody hell, this game wants you to be really precise.
Okay, the point is though, yeah, I've just increased the value by about 20% but I've not saved any space. Oh, also, oh hang on, I've um oh hang on, I've um knocked a tortoise into the water.
I was just trying to do an underhand cast to like, you know, get a dank guy over there. Now there's a tortoise in the water cuz I also have psychic abilities to No, no, no, not like that. Not like
Yes, I've got the psychic ability to like continue manipulating the line after I cast it. So, just over there, please. Not not too high. Not over the top. About there should be fine. Yeah, I want you.
I want you, my friend. Come on over. Give us a nibble. Nope, he wasn't interested. So, yeah, let's get more of you guys. You're definitely, you know, inside of my current capabilities,
know, give you a bit of a rest occasionally. Turn you around the right way, etc., etc. You're not so bad. Oh, in fact, hang on. No, you are something caught before. Pop you in there. You're Oh.
Pop you in there. You're Oh. You're a bass. Right, and one more. I'm just going to give another go to that catfish we saw a while ago. Just let him this one's putting up no fight at all. Oh, that's easily the biggest fish I've
ever caught. Oh, yeah, celebratory spam. Only $20 though. Right, not that So, okay. Okay, okay, okay. Here's what we're going to do. Catfish friend, I've got bad news for you, which is yes, I now
know what to do from that very precise little pointy bit there. little pointy bit there. Straight down. And then straight across this way. Just above, a this area. So, okay, I could do this. I
could do this spot-on. So, right. Just straight down, straight straight down. And then straight over, right there.
Okay. That has got to be at least four stars. I mean, come on, game. Be nice. Oh, four and a half. It tells them I'm a genius at fishing. And as a result of that, right, I'm making a lot more flipping
right, I'm making a lot more flipping money here. So, with all of that in a hand, number one, yes, back to the aquarium, cuz that guy did specifically say he wanted a bass. So, it in it flipping
wanted a bass. So, it in it flipping goes. A better better I get to flipping, you know, psychically mind control the bass I caught, cuz that's a thing I could do. So, there you go. That's the only fish that yes, you said you
absolutely needed to have. So, in which case, the other fish, which I've already cut up into small pieces and whatnots, those we can flipping sell. So, sell all
of you. That's going to get me a sir mate, good money, a spot-on. So, yeah, just north of $60. A giant needed a 160 to go further or
deeper that I can't afford a more tempting lure. And there it is, dangling on the back of the rod there, spot-on. And all was uh he wanted
three fish. Well, four, but one of them I had to be the bass. Now, I've got the bass. So, now all that needs to happen is, yeah, any other three fish.
So, you, sir, how about you? Mosey over here. And yeah, this is all of a sudden a lot more flipping attempting, isn't it? So, right, just to pull you in. We've already got one catfish before. Just yeah, they are a bit on the strong
Just yeah, they are a bit on the strong side, so turn them around first before we start pulling. Excellent, there we go. There we flipping go. As long as they're facing me, there's only so much they can do. Excellent.
the water. Once you're out the water, yeah, there's not going to be much you could do, my friend. Then yeah, we'll just grab you a nice selection of other fish here. Here we go, one of those. We will bluegill. Might just make you out
possibly be making out the turn bluegill. But as soon as you come in and take the bait, good sir. There we go, you'll be coming with me, too. Let's have one of every different kind of fish inside this
tank, damn it. But oh, yeah, that's now much easier now I've got, you know, into the rhythm of it. And then just a one more. I would love a tiny little, yeah, angelfish. So, just let that sink down.
Now the bully fish is gone. One of you should come over and say hello. And as soon as you do, there we go. We friend. So, okay, that's our three additional
fish. So, we're going to make any money out of these. But still, that's what the aquarium wanted. Actually, yes, while I'm passing by, and I know my grandpa's buried somewhere
Mosey into the church, as I can't go inside. I'm increasingly suspicious this church looks like, and I'm having a tragic backstory right now. Oh, yeah,
there's weird of yellow fish. That's a very good sign of having a bit of a yeah, wobble right now, so. I think my granddad ends up in prison. Granddad, did you bloody kill that
person we found at the beach or something? Oh, but hang on. something? Oh, but hang on. You can see them. Oh. genetically inherited these silly bananas fish vision I've got?
The yellow tangs. Yes, yes, I can. I've also gone a fish bananas. And apparently that's a very good news as far as he's concerned. good news as far as he's concerned. Finally, no, they're not real.
bloody other fish some I've gotten them tossed in prison. I mean, I guess it is converted into a prison and I'm actually speaking to my granddad or whatnot, but it's kind of hard to tell what is or isn't real at the moment. And right, he
knows about the flooded graveyard. And as a result of bones and other things being turned [music] up, so. With the right fishing gear, yeah, we might be able to fish up some clues. Okay, we'll just leave granddad down
here in the church basement, which may or may not be real or I may possibly be having a bit of a wobble right now. It's a really bloody hard to say, but yeah. With the right gear, there must be something we could pull up
from the graveyard. Definitely feel like yeah, potentially Definitely feel like yeah, potentially the mausoleum it feels relevant in some on. Hang on.
Hang on. That bust on the door right there. Yeah, just put the flipping thing right on top of put the flipping thing right on top of that. There we go. There we flipping go.
No, I'm going to be needing yeah, a longer line and heavier bait before I could get to that. That's too deep and far away from me right now. So, okay. That's why ultimately we're fishing and upgrading so I could start digging into
the secrets of the graveyard. For the time being however, right aquarium friends, we are going to add a bunch of fish into the tank here. Beautiful.
And there we go. That should be Yep, four fish and one of them's a bass. And if we're lucky, that should mean that you, sir, are very
bloody happy. Four fish. Yep, that's correct. That's what you wanted. Okay, he's impressed. And on top of that, yeah, he's commenting on the individual fish. I did
bring him each of those. That's true. It's textbook. Yet still flamboyant. If you're finding these fossils, please don't stop digging. and the only source of water in this town, my friend. You have not been
looking that hard for them. And how many fish did I say the tank needed? You definitely said four. But I'm guessing you're about to change your bloody mind. Now I see it again.
I probably meant more than that. Stab him with the rod, dammit. He deserves it. Ah, but bear in mind a moment. I do get a reward which is additional storage get a reward which is additional storage space for my bloody fishing box. Still,
I would say we successfully delivered those four fish to the aquarium. How about we wrap things up there? This here is about fishing or to be precise, it's demo because yes, this game's a technical alpha. But yes, you can play
what you've just seen for free right now if that's what you want to do. And to what say it it feels like a pretty generous demo given there's clearly a bit more I've not discovered yet. Like you know what, various things
were to do some more fishing, upgrade to my line in a various ways, together with a few secrets as well. Like yeah, whether we can maybe crack open the mausoleum over there or find a way to access my granddad's office, which is
presumably yes, via a key that's somewhere in this bit of the world. But overall, I will say yeah, what this game really leans on more than anything is good vibes. Like it feels, you know, slightly weird and creepy and ominous
without being overtly scary. It's a nice way to do a narrative and mystery fishing game. So yes, indeed, well worth a looksee, I'd say. Link in the description below. Maybe just maybe later this year, when this game comes
another looksee. So let me know if you'd be interested and we shall flipping see. But in the meantime, I've been John. This has been many a true nerd. This has been the delightful About Fishing. Thank you very much and goodbye.
you very much and goodbye. Captain John's arsome to be a pirate pun, but actually comes across more as an ass pun, doesn't it? And that's really creepy for a theme park. Let's not do that actually. There
we are. Captain John's non-sexual pirate adventure. That's That's better. Just to adventure. That's That's better. Just to make sure people understand.
