What is How to Fish?
How to Fish is a first-person fishing adventure from Dazed Games for one to four players. After a boat crash leaves you on a small island, the route home becomes a chain of catches, quests, equipment upgrades, and boss fights.
Its loop is deliberately unruly: hook creatures, finish them with weapons or melee, sell the catch, and spend the proceeds on better gear. Rare variants, trick-shot bonuses, cooking, and five sequential islands give completion-minded players plenty to track.
