such a good game! the photography/cloud loop is chill and satisfying and the writing is endearing and really funny. definitely one to check out
Wow such a cool game. So peaceful and chill , with a dash of humor. Just the right amount of difficulty. Great characters, great message, loved the music, You actually do have some control over how the game progresses. Non linear. Really fun achievements if that's your thing. Just delightful.
such a delightful experience up here in the sky with my big catfish and other friends :^) i am having so much fun with this game and it makes me feel so warm and happy inside, i highly recommend it only thing is that i wish it had some motion sickness accessibility features! controlling the sea serpent makes me feel a little dizzy at times
This game is incredibly cute and the music WOULD put me to sleep if i wasn't going ham taking pictures of fish.
extremely heartwarming and cozy game
Peaceful with a healthy helping of emotional. I like. Nice story, charming visuals, gameplay's a bit basic but im still happy so
I really, really enjoyed this game. The art style takes you back to older games and part of the gameplay definitely reminds one of Pokemon Snap. But it goes beyond that with the ability to spawn all kinds of fish and the little puzzles you solve throughout the game. I really enjoyed learning about the world and the different creatures in it. All the flavor text make me laugh and the silly messages using the Instant Message system felt like a conversation my friends and I might have. I enjoyed the story and the different areas that we got to visit.
An absolutely lovely experience that immediately jumped into my top 5 games. I had a chill old time spawning fish and solving puzzles and then got hit by the story like a truck
Phenomenal game about loss and love. The game feels like an absolute labor of love, through and through.
I've just started but it's a shame this game doesn't even have 50 reviews. Very relaxing and cute. Plays well with a controller
