Field notes
Fish encounters use timer-free, turn-based fights: players read each fish’s tell and choose a skill from their equipment. The page lists 46 gear pieces to find, buy, and improve, plus 163 fish with time- and weather-dependent appearances; catches go into a journal, and favorites can be kept in a home aquarium. The playable chapter-and-a-half demo is described as roughly 15 minutes.
