It is not menace that causes one’s skin to rise when fishing. The quiet shell of the early hours, a cooling speckled ambiance that could only be fractured by the victory of a big reel or something more unwelcomed. Tranquility is eerie because it is not known to last. In About Fishing, an upcoming game from Arctic Eggs creators The Water Museum, there are many unspoken rules between you and your grandfather about the art of the catch. Some about what swims in the water. Others about what’s beneath the soil. After spending a few marvelous hours with a playtest build, I am convinced this ambitious and alluring game will be this year’s dark horse masterpiece.
