Merge Games and Underbite have announced that their fantasy fishing RPG Whisker Waters is in development for Nintendo Switch.
For many years, the bears, birds and cats lived together in harmony. Adventurers known as Fish Rangers – who used rod and reel as their primary tools – look after their communities and united the townsfolk. That is, until the Great Disturbance.
With conflict and plague unleashed upon the people of the land, the Fish Rangers rallied to its source to halt the spread. Diligently remaining on guard as generations passed to the point that they slowly faded away into legend, but now, inspired by their stories, one young kitty is looking to carve out a tale of their own.
You will have the chance to customise your character before setting out on an adventure, developing your angling skills as you work towards mastering the art of fishing. That will challenge you to reconnect the four regions, reunite the townsfolk and become a living legend.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Unleash Your Fishing Skills: Unlike any other game, Whisker Waters makes fishing the star of the show! Use cool fishing tools to explore and catch all kinds of unique fish. Each fish has its own tricks, making it exciting and rewarding!
