Explore a Flooded World


The fish of the world are near extinction from overfishing and improper fishing practices. After the god of fishing regrets the bestowing of its gift, it floods the world to start anew, but humanity perseveres. 

In this flooded world, you are a wanderer who can understand the spirits of long-gone fish. With this ability, learn from locals and shrines to restore fish populations by dancing with the spirits of fish in this flow-based rhythm fishing game.

           

Learn the Fishing Techniques of Old

When fishing the spirits, dance with them to bring their spirit closer to becoming corporeal once more. 

By exploring and interacting with local inhabitants, both young and old, learn techniques that respect the fish through rhythm. 


Fish up Spirits and Revive the Species

By bringing the spirits to a shrine, you can slowly bring back the corporeal forms of the fish long gone!
