Good game but need more endings. Yeah the moral of the story is important but there should be a way to get to different outcomes. I liked the fishing part but it could be more in depth :) Upgrades to the ship or to the fishing pole with more dept sounds cool yeah ? Good game for a small price

It a decent little short story, fish gutting is a little wonky and sometimes my knife would disappear entirely into the board so I couldn't see it at all but it's not bad overall. If you're like me and want to see all the possible dialogue its a bit of a pain to wait 45 minutes 3 different times to get like 3 different sentences, so I'd say its not worth it to see the "different endings" for not paying back the loan shark, just get all the achievements if you want to see everything the game has to offer, all the different dialogue doesn't add too much to the experience.

For this price, you should absolutely play this. This game game gets better the less you know about it going in. you have nothing to loss, sense the game takes only about an hour to beat and you can still refund it after you beat it if you dont like it. Me personally, I didnt refund because I respect the creator. Buy it. You wont regret it.
