Spent 30 minutes trying to leave the first home after the tutorial. Looked everywhere for a solution yet 3 years with no advice to fix this. However, I found the fix myself. I turned anti-aliasing off, changed to windowed mode, and turned V-sync off. This allowed me to start moving immediately. I've seen many people with this issue! Please try these before refunding!

I really hope this game can recover from the review dip, because it is genuinely a real gem now (if still a bit rough around the edges). You play as an elderly character dealing with the loss of their partner. Your adult daughter is in town to help you with moving on by assisting the town with their big centennial festival. You open a seafood streetfood shop to raise money, which also leads you to investigate the mysteries plaguing the fishers of the bay. The game offers a wide range of tasks: - Rod fishing - Net fishing - Trap fishing - Line fishing - Cooking - Exploration - Photo mode - Cleaning up trash in the sea - Tasks for the townfolk - Providing townsfolk with their favourite dish - Renovating the town - Boss fights (more puzzles than fights, which I like) Early on, the game gives you almost complete control over how you want to allot your time. Lots of tasks can be done in parallel, there's always something to do. A lot of the gameplay is dexterity-based button pressing, though. I found the timing of these tasks very generous overall, but it's not suitable for everyone. What the game does NOT have: - Farming - Ranching - Breeding - Crafting - Fighting - Mining - Decorating your house - Romance - Complex friendship (I didn't miss any of these aside from more decorations. I found it relaxing to not be in charge of absolutely everything for a change. :D) I really thought the repetitive cooking minigames would annoy me, but to my surprise, they didn't. They were just interactive enough to keep the lizard brain occupied while the rest of my brain could chill in a hammock. I liked the different tools, and the mastery system to unlock new recipes is cool. Unlocking every dish is a ton of work though, but you only need that for the respective achievement. The game features unlimited inventory right off the bat, which is a blessing for a digital hoarder like me. Sadly, it lacks some QoL features on this front, but it's not egregious. Time runs on a day / night cycle, but without seasonal mechanics. You can pass time faster by sitting on benches, reading in your nook, or sleeping. You can sleep anytime and wake up in the morning, in the afternoon, or at night. Sometimes, time is slowed to a crawl for story events. Cooking doesn't take up any time. I experienced a couple of bugs, but I never lost any significant progress or had to use the emergency teleport. If your boat gets stuck, you can call an in-game tow service, and the save system is incredibly generous. You can save almost anywhere / anytime and the game autosaves after sleeping. I can't say anything about mouse/keyboard, but playing with controller was perfectly fine. I'm not the biggest fan of the blocky artstyle in general. But the animations are incredibly fluid and done with a whole lot of love. The fish models in particular are super quirky and cute. Checking out the aquarium displays is something you should definitely do. And later with the line fishing, the models really have their time to shine. You have a dog, and you can pet it. The soundtrack is nice and never became grating or repetitive. There is a co-op option, but I haven't tried it. I can wholeheartedly recommend this game. It's definitely worth full price, I got ~40 hours out of it and haven't gotten 100% yet.

Anyone else getting Lego Island vibes from the graphics? Time to relive my childhood memories :D Honestly, I just had to come here to give a positive review because this is the first cozy fishing game I have actually enjoyed. You are tasked with helping to rebuild a dying coastal town. You wander, chit chat, fish, cook. This game has a bit of everything. And it takes place on the eastern coast of Canada. Bonus points!! And no glitches for me on the deck. I got this game for $3 and it feels like an absolute steal, so give it a chance!! This is exactly how I envision a fishing game to be... zen and chill. No pressure. Just me, the open waters and my lego pieces.

The devs seemed to have worked really hard to iron out the bugs in this game. It had a rocky release, but it's definitely worth a play if you enjoy cosy fishing games.

WARNING: I would recommend this game however DO NOT buy this game at full price. its cute and I love the story and mini games however it feels unfinished. There is a game breaking bug that gets you stuck on the pause menu and you have to restart the game. A fix is to just save every chance you get but its quite annoying. (That is only one of the few bugs I've run into so far.) Other than that I just wish there was more customisation. Like being able to change your clothes or even just having more characters to choose from since there is only 4 and they look relatively similar (albeit very cute). Overall if you like fishing and want a cute town restoration game then I would say this is a good pick, but be warned it is not worth the $30 regular price tag.
