OVERVIEW.
A 2D rogue-like RPG that blends cozy fishing mechanics with high-stakes time. Players must navigate a dynamic day-night cycle, complete NPC-driven missions, and catch fish to meet increasingly demanding daily financial quotas. Failure to meet the daily quota results in the player's boat being repossessed, creating a compelling risk-reward gameplay loop.
