THE ACTUAL GAME LOOP

This is not a quiet fishing sim.

How to Fish is a first-person physics playground where the catch is only the beginning. Creatures fight back, guns count as fishing gear and every island ends with something much bigger than you expected.

  1. 1
    Catch

    Choose a lure, manage the line and get the creature onto land.

  2. 2
    Fight

    Use fists, weapons, terrain and friends to finish the catch.

  3. 3
    Sell & upgrade

    Cook the haul, increase its value and buy better gear.

  4. 4
    Beat the boss

    Finish quests, keep the trophy and unlock the next island.
