Things worth
getting sidetracked by.

Collected on the way to somewhere else.

A luminous fishing pool below a waterfall in Tidecaller at night
Pool No. 7. Definitely something in there.
01 / A tug on the line

Just one more cast.
You know how it goes.

The float settles. The water stirs. Then it’s you, a very opinionated fish, and a line you’d rather not snap.

Cast into glowing pools, read the pull and bring your catch back to shore. Stay until the fireflies come out.

Find your fishing spot ↗Uncooperative.
Probably magnificent.
02 / Unexpected company

You came for fish.
You found a friend.

That rustle in the reeds? Slow down. Wild companions have their own little lives, and friendship starts with earning their trust.

Pets are captured peacefully. Your companions protect you from the hostile creatures out there. A good reason to bring someone along.

Note to self: leave room
for one more companion.

Travelling light. Except for the friends.
Fish. Wander. Cook something. Make a little island home.Your day, your detours.

Here be curious things

A sky full of
“what’s over there?”

Woodland paths, forgotten machinery, a village to come home to. And through the Angler Portal: another island, made for one more adventure.

A few marks on the chart…

The Living Kelp Gate among Kelpwood trees and glowing waters
Kelpwood · Follow the roots. Listen to the water.Wish you were here.

Leave the rest for later

The tide won’t
wait forever.

Well, it probably will. But your adventure’s ready.
