About

It's that time of year again... Karpe Diem! The famous festival of the Joisey region which brings travelers from far and wide to compete in a fishing competition overseen by the widely adored Mayor Slowpoke. Set out on adventure to become the next Karpe Diem champion, face off against a worthy rival, meet helpful strangers, and solve thematic puzzles. This fan-made Pokemon slice of life game strips out longtime series mechanics such as battling, badges, and evolutions to instead focus on things like kicking back, relaxing, and reeling in a whopper.
