Greetings fish fans. Good Evening.
This game was really cute. I think its world building maintained a fine line between nonsensical and grounded. I really believe the Steppe could exist and I like this post-boom ghost town vibe that was portrayed by the opening. I also think the wiggle room left to include characters like Mr. Sun made the world open to stuff like funny streaming. Funny the shrimps 4. And ultimately this kind of felt like the comfy experience of eating at a diner after seeing a very frightening horror movie or something like that. Cozy, little spooky cause its dark out. Yeah vuv
I think Solea in general is the standout here for me character-wise. Her narration and voice throughout the script makes the more serious parts of the world blend with the silly. I think it does sell that she's able to break through to this ancient fish woman. Which I think is another important part of what worked for me here.
The art is beautiful, genuinely and though a lot of it seems to be still in sketching phase it seems to be really setting up an impressive world.
I think the only thing I wondered was, will there be more? The story seems over but the food mechanic wasn't really touched and there was an option for fish...(cannibalism?).... I'd like to see more.
