About Fishing: Dreamcast-Inspired Fishing Mystery Game Announced for Steam and PS5
About Fishing, a new indie release from developer The Water Museum, is poised to cast its line into the expansive pool of narrative-driven fishing games.
Drawing clear inspiration from SEGA Bass Fishing and Shenmue—two Dreamcast-era favorites—About Fishing is set to launch soon on both Steam and PlayStation 5, inviting players into a meditative experience where every angling attempt can uncover a piece of a long-buried mystery. Background and Inspiration SEGA Bass Fishing and Shenmue were iconic titles on the Sega Dreamcast, each offering distinct gameplay experiences—one centered around the tranquil sport of fishing, and the other around immersive adventure and storytelling.
About Fishing aims to honor these classics by blending their core elements: the calming, rhythmic nature of fishing with the intrigue and tension of unravelling hidden secrets. Game Overview Developed by The Water Museum, About Fishing is officially described as "a fishing mystery game that blends the calm, meditative rhythm of fishing with the quiet tension of discovery." Players will embark on a fishing and adventure hybrid, where each cast is more than just a routine: it’s an opportunity to find something unexpected lurking beneath the water’s surface. The developer explains that the fish caught within the game will serve a dual purpose—not only as trophies or objectives, but also as companions and guides.
These aquatic creatures help players uncover fragments of a long-forgotten story hidden deep below the waves.
Whether choosing to immerse themselves in the serenity of the sport or follow subtle clues scattered across the water, players are encouraged to explore at their own pace. Notable Statement Reflecting the game’s gentle tone, The Water Museum has assured fans that no real fish were harmed in the making of About Fishing.
This ethical stance underscores the studio’s commitment to creating a compassionate and thoughtful experience for players and wildlife enthusiasts alike. Release Platforms and Additional Details About Fishing is currently confirmed for release on Steam for PC users and the PlayStation 5, broadening its reach beyond its Dreamcast-influenced roots.
While an official release date has yet to be set, the game has already garnered attention for its creative premise, unique gameplay blend, and homage to beloved classics in both the fishing and adventure genres. As development continues, The Water Museum aims to deliver a title that not only satisfies fans of SEGA Bass Fishing and Shenmue but also newcomers seeking a relaxing yet mysterious narrative adventure.
Stay tuned for further updates on release details and availability across digital storefronts such as Steam and the PlayStation Store.
