(the 2nd video on the store page is the developer giving a basic rundown of the game)
I don't even remember how I came across this game but I had wishlisted it a couple of months ago, and now that it has a decent sale going on I decided to give it a try and boy am I glad I did. This game is fucking AMAZING. The game gets right to the point, within seconds after finishing the license test (tutorial) you are immediately tasked with going to one of the 62 lakes and catching four fish. However, you know nothing about how the fish behave until you encounter them or ask other anglers about them. So you can go around and get little bits of data from anglers who might tell you an aspect of a lure that it likes, or where it mostly lives, what reel speed it likes, etc. Once you get this information you can design your lures to match your desired catch's "lure attributes" since you might get quests that task you with catching specific fish, or you may pick up a fish contract for a specific fish, or may want to target one since they tend to be worth more etc.
You can set up your own lures using blocks, but it's not as simple as just sticking what you want onto it without any thought. You can basically min/max each lure for each fish if you wanted to. Build junkies will be in heaven.
This is how lures work:
Things really kick off when you get the ability (really early in the game) to access uncharted lakes. These lakes are procedurally generated, and all the fishes attributes in them too and you are tasked with exploring the lake. This is another way to make money, by selling lake data (and the more complete, the more its worth)
When you get there the map won't be filled out, you won't be able to see how long days last, etc. you'll have to activate the scanners on your BOAT. And since you know absolutely nothing about the fish here you just have to start fishing and try. Maybe try a sinking lure, then a topwater lure.. maybe try changing your lures properties after not getting a bite... then when you finally get a bite you can dissect that fucker to learn more about it, to further hone your lure and method of catching it. In these uncharted lakes, once you've discovered everything about a fish you can name them:
Aside from the main quest and side quests there are also contracts you can pick up to catch specific fish for cash, or participate in tournaments (there's regular tournaments throughout the game and a weekly tournament that has a Steam leaderboard and is a competition among players) Currently, I'm ignoring quests right now and just trying to earn some credits to get a new BOAT w/ more module space and a bigger livewell and some new rods (the starting rod is a piece of shit)
It's also very addicting... DON'T sleep on this game, Codex. It's fucking phenomenal.
