Title
A relaxing fishing experience intertwined with captivating elements of Lovecraftian horror. The gameplay mechanics are refreshingly uncomplicated, with a simple yet engaging task of timing button presses to catch fish, fitting everything in your inventory like in a Tetris game, and upgrading equipment. However, spending too much time out in the sea can lead to unsettling hallucinations, jeopardizing navigation and even exposing players to the threat of mysterious sea creatures.

The game is initially addictive, immersing the player in its unique atmosphere. Yet, it must be acknowledged that its depth may not sustain engagement beyond a few hours. While a diverse array of fish species awaits collection, the completion of main quests felt satisfying enough, leaving little desire to explore further. It is worth noting that although the game grants players immediate freedom to explore the whole map, adherence to the predetermined order of main quests becomes imperative, as specific equipment will be needed in the right order.

    I know it's an indie but I just wish it were longer! Otherwise, a very good game

    The website for Black Salt shows it's a team of four who made this game, comprising a project lead (who professes a bias toward triple-A games), multiple artists, a programmer. The lack of a dedicated or passionate game designer really explains a lot of what makes this game so mediocre.

    What's the difference between this game and any other indie game with a decent art style whose main design pillar is keeping the player on a dopamine drip feed? I can't see any difference to be honest.

    It's the type of game that you kind of love for the two thirds of it but once you figure out the systems and unlock the last island suddenly the immersion is broken and there's barely desire to finish it. The lovecraftian/horror gimmick kinda dies by then also and the narrative is sort of just serviceable. 8-9/10 for the first half of it, 6-7/10 towards the end.
