it's been such a long time since i've played something so evocative and thought-provoking. every aspect of this game (the gameplay mechanics, the soundtrack, the fantastic writing, the narrative beats) is so consistently in harmony with each other, there is a clear vision and it is executed very well.

Catfish checks all the boxes you want in a cozy game: beautiful art design that surrounds you like a warm nostalgic hug, relatable and endearing characters, a compelling storyline, charming soundtrack, photo mode, and of course, fishing (fish facts included)!
