Hey again, you’ll probably need a minute to remember making this post, but I saw Intergalactic Fishing was on sale in the Steam Summer Sale, so I went ahead and bought a copy. This lives up to everything you’ve said - I very much enjoy the gameplay of messing with the lure puzzle minigame and collecting information on all the fish in any given lake, and I’m absolutely wanting to catch Just One More Fish.
…I guess I’m hooked.
Thanks again!
This was so completely deranged, to the point where it was kind of not fun because what even is this nonsense, but I kept going because I wanted to see what nonsense would happen next. I’m not sure I’d go with “masterpiece of jank” because I think it pretty successfully realized its vision; this is a surrealist and bizarre work, not an incomplete one. …please don’t ask me to explain what that vision is, though.
