❤ Game Concept

Players explore an isolated train station, capturing fish from three distinctly designed arcade machines. The goal revolves around collecting and ultimately releasing 23 different fish species back into the surrounding waters.

❤ Claw Machine Mechanics

The core gameplay challenges players with three machines, each requiring unique manipulation techniques. One machine might demand precise timing, another requires pressing additional buttons, while the third could introduce completely different claw control methods. These variations prevent monotony and recreate the unpredictable excitement of real arcade claw games.

❤ Key Gameplay Elements

Precise fish-catching challenges, compact yet detailed environment exploration, quirky interactions with a talking seagull, playful vending machine interactions, and strategic fish collection mechanics.

❤ Gameplay Variety

Within a compact 30-60 minute experience, players discover mechanically diverse claw machine challenges, witty fish descriptions, immersive Japanese-inspired aesthetic, subtle environmental storytelling, and vibrant, dream-like color palette.

❤ Gameplay Nuances

Players navigate minor challenges like maneuvering fish stuck in machine corners, adapting to no mid-game save points, managing slow character movement, and working around occasional interaction bugs.

❤ Player Experience

Most participants describe the experience as therapeutically relaxing, charmingly innovative, nostalgically reminiscent of Spirited Away, perfectly priced for its brevity, and aesthetically satisfying.
