The game's story is engaging and well-developed, focusing on the player's role as a fisher who helps NPCs by completing quests that unlock new fishing spots and provide useful rewards. While the narrative is described as relaxing and wholesome, some players feel that the quest mechanics can be tedious and do not support an active playstyle, leading to frustration with the pacing and rewards. Overall, the story enhances the gameplay experience, despite some criticisms regarding quest efficiency.
- “They are well drawn and really tell a story.”
- “This game is very relaxing and wholesome as the story goes on :)”
- “Your job as a fisher is to collect fish of different types, grades, and even special quest items to help your friends.”
- “You can't have an active playstyle either because this game has no option that supports an active playstyle. The only benefit you get from playing actively is maybe doing an NPC quest to give you 2 chum, which feels useless because you are going to catch 3 or 4 fish at most with it. Sometimes it takes catching like 20 fish to even finish an NPC quest, then they take forever to leave and come back, and sometimes they come back and they don't even have a quest for you, making you wait even longer.”
- “This game is very relaxing and wholesome as the story goes on, but it lacks depth and engagement.”
- “Your job as a fisher is to collect fish of different types, grades, and even special quest items to help her friends, but the narrative feels shallow and unfulfilling.”
