I really like the idea here, but I feel like it's held back by its controls. The camera controls feel off, in part because of the lack of vertical control. I don't understand why I need to take out and put away the fishing rod to move around when it could just always be out and lets you walk around whenever it's reeled in. I also struggled with the inventory system, and felt it could have been implemented smoother. I also found the game rather buggy. Trying to place the humans in the vivariums seems to be pretty clunky, and I manged to wipe my inventory doing. I also managed to cast downwards and soft-lock the game somehow. I love the concept of the game, but I wish it was a smoother experience to play.

How does your game fit the theme?
This games reverses the role of the player as a fish instead of a human. This also reverses the direction of the fishing mechanic to go upward instead of down.
