I like the atmosphere and the water color is perfect. It could use some more reference spots for navigating. I think there's a bug where you can never succeed in getting the fish and have to fail and start again (completion bar similar to stardew valley would be nice to have too).
If I had to improve it I would
make the Amnesia monster instead of a simple timer
add splash sounds to make it more unnerving and help with finding fishing spots too
Ah man, I'm easily frightened, but still, you sure got me good. Luckily I missed a fishing spot near the start, so I managed to back it back to canal safety rather easily after getting the seventh fish, but phew, if I had been near that final dead end albatross spot, that would have been the end of me.
Definitely a 10/10 in the mood department. Was constantly expecting something to jump at me during the fishing part. The lighting (loved the lighting effects on the rocks in the water) and the music did a great job of making you feel "claustrophobic" even though it was a large body of water. The final chase was the cherry on top. Really great job on a fishing horror game. Will now watch cute fish videos so I can go near water again.

Fish are pretty scary on their own. I got a few fish, but I was worried there was going to be a big scare.
I got lost and only caught a couple of fish before giving up
cool ambience though
