The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
Sitting quietly by the water, waiting for a strike, then suddenly fighting a massive fish with tense, strategic controls.

What players say
Players call it the most realistic fishing sim for the patience and preparation it demands, but note weak graphics and a forced email sign-up to progress. Some complain tournaments feel rigged, while others love the challenge of fish that fight hard, spit hooks and change directions. Long-time players say Dovetail stopped supporting the game, leaving it with limited venues.
