ABOUT GAMEPLAY

Fishing

Cast your line into calm waters and time your inputs to the rhythm of the music. Fish tug and fight in sync with the beat, turning each catch into a quick, skill-based rhythm challenge. Hit notes with precision to tighten the line, build combos, and reel in rare fish. Miss the beat and your catch might slip away. Simple, fast, and satisfying, fishing becomes a rhythmic flow where music and timing are the keys to success.

Cleaning the Island

As you explore the shoreline, you’ll find trash scattered across the beach. You can pick up debris you come across, helping to restore the coastline. Cleaning up contributes to your overall progress, and collecting enough trash unlocks new areas to explore and fish.

Rarity & Compendium

Fish come in varying rarities, from common to extremely rare. Use your compendium to see if you can catch them all.

Catch and Sell

Catch fish to earn money, then use your earnings to buy better lures. Higher-tier lures increase your chances of catching rare and valuable fish.

Save for your ticket home

Catch fish to earn money and save up to buy a plane ticket off the Island. Every catch brings you closer to home.
