Brightwater: Idle Fishing
A cozy idle fishing game. Cast your line, catch fish, and fill the collection log. While you're away, your deckhands keep fishing for you.
Nearly 500 fish to catch
Cast, wait for a bite, strike. Each new fish gets stamped in your Fishing Log. Tap when the bobber dips, or leave the line alone and let the catches pile up.

Twelve regions
You start on a pond in Willow Vale and end up in the deep ocean. Each region has its own fish, and one or two that take some finding. Day turns to night while you fish and the weather changes. Some fish only bite in the dark or the fog.

Besides the fishing
The Harbour Cat. A scruffy stray turns up on your jetty. Feed it from your keepnet and it comes round slowly. It wants one particular fish each day, and it leaves you presents.
Leviathans. Fish a region for long enough and its sonar fills up. Then something surfaces, like the Breakwater Kraken or the Rime Serpent.
Voyages and the Hatchery. Later on you get boats that come home with a haul, even overnight, and you can breed your own fish.
