The gameplay is interesting and I found my self wanting to throw out one more net or do one more crabbing voyage keeping me up late some nights.

Graphics in the game are beautiful, from the sunrises and sunsets, to storms at sea, to viewing the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, while you're fishing, to whale watching while at sea.

I'm thinking something like the crafting/production client that runs in the background if you are a Black Desert Online (BDO) player.
