What players say

Fishing Paradiso is a low friction indie game that quietly stands out by putting its story ahead of its fishing mechanics. The fishing itself is intentionally simple: catch fish, upgrade your gear, unlock new locations, and complete quests. It's satisfying without being demanding, making it a great game to unwind with rather than one to master. Its biggest weakness is repetition. Fishing is incredibly simplistic...

My first game from Odencat, as fun as i remembered!! (this is my second time playing haha) It'd be so much better if you've played Bear's Restaurant though, each character's background story was told there. While this game can be played on its own, it's more like a continuation story from Bear's Restaurant ^^

Wow! What a GAME! What a STORY!!! At first I was a bit off put by a comment someone made... And yet I still decided to give it a try. Super glad I did! The fishing is hella fun. All of it. Even the upgrades. Love it. They made it just right. The "grinding" isn't freaking "annoying" or "insidious". Fishing is supposed to be where you are patient and don't have a diminishing attention span. There are plenty of quests...
