It started simply enough, with a friend asking if I’d like to play a fishing game she just found. What followed was three hours of some of the most fun I’ve ever had in an online game, complete with haunted fishing rods, whales so big they break the laws of physics, and a dog wearing a hat that says “I love peeing.”
Released on Steam early in October, the charmingly lo-fi Webfishing has apparently been growing into an indie hit right under our noses. With just shy of 5,000 reviews, the online fishing/hangout sim is ranked Overwhelmingly Positive, with 98 percent of players recommending it. Now that I’ve spent an incredibly bizarre night exploring its cute, crude little island, you can count me among them.
