THAT WAS SO AWESOME!!!! I didn't have the patience to do all 50 fish, I stopped at 17, but damn what a great idea, love the writing, love the whole game structure. Just really amazing and the music was great background.
thank you so much for your kind words! and i appreciate your honesty about skipping to the end before fifty fish, as long as you enjoyed the presented spaces i think that approach is totally valid :) thanks again!!
I think the 50 is a really good number to aim for, it feels attainable and encourages you to experience the game, but also there's plenty of room to cut out early if you want to like I did. I thought the whole concept of having the number of fish to aim for as a job and writing them out on the character sheet was just really really cool. It's a nice counterpoint to the heavier themes of the game, it works really well.
