The Wide Open Sky is Running out of Catfish

Damn, what a special game. AI will never be able to make something like this. This is a meditation on the impermanence of everything around us -- to embrace that our rivers will run their course and to hold tight to what we love most along our way. PSA: I did get stuck on one kinda obtuse puzzle, so learn from my mistake and [spoiler]just interact with the seal with nothing in your hand, don't try to feed it, thank me later.[/spoiler]

I have yet to finish this game, but I just have to say it has been a breathtaking experience the entire way. It has so much depth and character, and genuine emotion, while still being actually fun to play. The art is also very beautiful, and I adore Catfish. Thank you guys for making this! I will update my thoughts when I finish the game...I have just loved it so much so far I can't wait to see what's next :)

This game is incredibly cute and the music WOULD put me to sleep if i wasn't going ham taking pictures of fish.

Wow such a cool game. So peaceful and chill , with a dash of humor. Just the right amount of difficulty. Great characters, great message, loved the music, You actually do have some control over how the game progresses. Non linear. Really fun achievements if that's your thing. Just delightful.

Bought this game super early when it had basically no reviews and no demo, just purely based on vibes and instinct — and somehow it turned out to be exactly my kind of game. Don’t get fooled by the retro art style. Beneath it is this strangely warm, cozy and dreamy atmosphere that completely pulled me in. The worldbuilding and writing are honestly the highlight for me; it has such a unique setting and tone that feel genuinely original. The script feels thoughtful and beautifully written, and it slowly draws you into its little universe. Gameplay-wise, it’s mostly light puzzle solving and photo taking. Nothing overly frustrating, just enough interaction to keep you immersed in the experience and narrative. This seriously feels like one of those hidden gems that more people should know about. If you like cozy games with good writing and a unique vibe, definitely give this a try!

What a beautiful little game
