As I delved into the demo of About Fishing, I found myself drawn into a world of mystery and intrigue, with a creepy rural backdrop that's as unsettling as it is fascinating. The tale of mermaids and missing persons is expertly woven, and the introduction of a thieving goose adds a touch of whimsy to the otherwise dark and drizzly atmosphere.

Despite being impressed by the game's ability to balance its weirdness with a sense of restraint, I couldn't shake the feeling that the fishing mechanics might be a barrier to entry for some players. The fishing itself feels like a necessary evil, a means to an end that allows players to progress through the story and uncover its secrets.
