Fishing The Abyss

This is a relaxing atmospheric game where you simply watch a robot catch creatures. Place it at the edge of your screen like a vertical desktop accessory and observe the ecosystem. It’s neither an idle game with mountains of stats nor an exciting fishing game.

<h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>Note 1: This is not an idle or clicker game.</strong></h2><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>Note 2: There is no exciting or active fishing experience in this game.</strong></h2><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>A relaxing desktop accessory with idle elements that lets you sink into the depths of a fishing pond.</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >This is more like a desktop accessory than a traditional game, so it might not even qualify as a &quot;game&quot; in the usual sense.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >It’s designed for people who are too busy to play games. You can place it on the side of your screen, glance at it occasionally, and feel a small sense of accomplishment as you level up or complete minor tasks.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >You might find yourself surprised by changes in the environment or discover eerie creatures caught on your line—those are the moments to enjoy.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><span class="bb_img_ctn"><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3553980/extras/9e6056b2ccd92ad727c787b8b3dec02c.poster.avif?t=1740620236" width=384 height=480 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3553980/extras/9e6056b2ccd92ad727c787b8b3dec02c.webm?t=1740620236" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3553980/extras/9e6056b2ccd92ad727c787b8b3dec02c.mp4?t=1740620236" type="video/mp4"></video></span></p><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>Gameplay</strong></h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >A small robot will start fishing on its own.</p></li></ul><ul class="bb_ul"><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >You can let it fish idly or actively assist by clicking.</p></li></ul><ul class="bb_ul"><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Catch various creatures to earn points.</p></li></ul><ul class="bb_ul"><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Use points to level up various abilities.</p></li></ul><ul class="bb_ul"><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Level up to reach deeper parts of the fishing pond.</p></li></ul><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><p class="bb_paragraph" >That’s all there is to it. <br>The main purpose is to enjoy discovering various creatures and changes in the fishing pond environment throughout the process. <br>There’s also a collection feature, so have fun completing it.</p><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>Note</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >This game and the store page use machine translations.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >While the game has minimal text, some translations might be unclear.

Instead, I focused on creating more creature types to provide visual variety and enhance the atmosphere for players to enjoy.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >If you absolutely must read such texts, I recommend refraining from purchasing.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >I apologize if buying and playing the game leaves you disappointed.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>Q: The idle time feels too short.</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>A:</strong> This game is not designed to be as focused on idling as games typically categorized as &quot;idle games.&quot;</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >It is better to think of it as a game with &quot;idle elements&quot; rather than a fully idle game.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >If you wish to increase the idle time, it is recommended to prioritize upgrading the point capacity limit over other elements.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >(We are considering whether better adjustments can be made without compromising the experience.)</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>Q: The translation feels rough.</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>A:</strong> This game uses machine translation for its localization.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >While we make efforts to ensure the content is as clear as possible through reverse translation and other checks, if the drawbacks of machine translation are a concern, we recommend refraining from purchasing.</p>
