Help, I have been playing the comfortable fishing game Moonglow Bay for 7 hours
The quaint fishing village of Moonlight Bay is already in trouble. The streets, beaches, and even the bay itself are littered with rubbish. The store closed, the building collapsed, and the mayor actually nailed wooden boards on the door of the city hall, preparing to exit. This is entirely due to the fishing industry. Since rumors and sightings about terrible sea monsters began to circulate and local fishermen dared not drive their boats to the bay, the fishing industry ceased to exist.
Towns are not the only thing deteriorating. You are not doing well either. Due to a Pixar tragedy, you did not leave your small house for many years until a family member came to pull you out of the coma. How will you save yourself and Moonlight Bay?
fishing. Lots, lots of fishing.
Fortunately, fishing in Moonglow Bay is completely fascinating, and the more you do it, the more interesting it gets. Put it this way: I sat down and tried Moonglow Bay, and the next time I looked at the clock, four hours had passed. “Well,” I thought, “I should probably stop playing and start writing.” Then I immediately played for another three hours. There are a variety of fish, and they present different levels of challenges, so some fish are relatively easy to catch, while others are more difficult. Throw in your line and you are never sure if you will catch a guppy that needs a quick pull to land, or if you have hooked a monster as big as your boat.
I started using a standard fishing rod on the beach, threw it into the water, waited for a bite, and then used WASD to pull it against the direction of the fish. (You can also use the controller, and you probably should—more on that later.) Pulling the reel at the right time can quickly drag the smaller fish into your hands, so not every catch is difficult. However, there are some real fighters in the bay.
After catching a few fish, I went to my small kitchen, where every step of the cooking process involved its own seconds-long mini-game. Washing fish, cutting fish, frying, boiling, roasting: they all need different things.
The scope of the game includes keeping the cursor within the moving target, clicking a button when the pointer passes through a certain point, and so on. The more complex the recipes, the more games are required to complete them, especially if there are other ingredients such as potatoes or beads. Cooking The first batch of recipes you learn may be repeated, but there are a few pages of new recipes that need to be unlocked, and you can cook in batches.
Soon, I had a small fishing boat so that I could go to the bay and the surrounding waters to catch more fish. Lobster traps are also provided, you can catch them with bait, put them in the water, and come back the next day to see what you caught.
The fishing net is particularly useful: you can use it to catch insects as bait on the beach, you can throw it into the water to see a large school of fish, pull a few at a time, which is much faster and easier than using a rod. You can also collect rubbish floating in the water to help clean up the bay, which is very much needed.
There are a wide variety of fish available for fishing, each of which is beautifully detailed in your fishing log, and using different fishing rods and lures and many different fishing areas, the log page will fill up quickly. There are also many really big fish there, so fishing has become a mixture of easy catch, moderate struggle and challenging events. Caught a big fish that I had never seen before and let it slip off my hook. This was a huge motivation to stay where I was and continue fishing until I finally hooked the bad boy.
You can donate the fish to your local aquarium, which will provide you with more information about each species, and if you need specific fish in a mission or recipe, it will be easier to find them in the future. You will be able to come back and admire your growing zoo, Animal Crossing style.
But in most cases, you will cook them and sell food on a vending machine outside your house (if you are tired of cooking, you can also sell raw fish on the same machine). Local shops can also sell you additional vending machines to place around the town, so you will make money soon. You will need this money, because to save Moonlight Bay, you need to invest in local companies that have failed and to fund town projects, such as rebuilding the clock tower or library. There are many other things that can cost money. I have upgraded my boat to have a bunk bed and my own kitchen, so when I go out on a cruise, I don’t have to go home to sleep or cook. I am also looking at expensive new engines so that my boat will move faster.
The town is full of colorful characters-many people will tell you about the rare fish that you can catch, or ask you to make a specific fish food for them, or ask for help in the form of small tasks that may not be related to fish. . Of course, you also need to deal with this legendary behemoth, which makes everyone afraid to venture into the water. Once you make the bay safe again, the local fish market will open to provide you with places to trade fish, buy more recipes, and get high-quality bait. You will need to get larger and rarer catches.
From a frustrated fisherman with only a fishing rod and a handful of bait slowly to a victorious half-rich ship owner, the diary is full of strange fish, which is very interesting, but Moonlight Bay has some considerable problems. I suspect that if you play with the controller you will be fine, but if you use the keyboard, please note that the controls cannot be remapped and there is no mouse support at all, which makes the navigation menu and other interactions a bit inexplicable. For example, the backspace key is the way to exit the menu instead of Escape, and J and L are the way you change the menu tabs. U and O rotate the camera view, while Q and E zoom in and out. Basic mouse support will make everything in Moonglow Bay easier.
There are some other problems. So far, I have played the boss twice, and both have been quite tragic experiences. One asked me to suddenly learn how to use my fishing rod in a new way, and include some quick activities that I had never seen before, which did not happen suddenly in their first boss fight. Another boss asked me to quickly switch between driving the boat and using my fishing reel, which is very tricky to use this weird keyboard control. I also have a few mission markers pointing to the wrong place, which means I have to remember that the character I need to visit lives in the city to complete their mission.
But so far, even bad boss battles and severely frustrating controls have not stopped me from enjoying the hell of Moonlight Bay. The art and the characters are very charming, the fish are cute and diverse, and there is a hopeful message, which is to cheer up and dust yourself after life has brought you a tragedy. After writing this article, I knew that I would immediately jump on my fishing boat and return to Moonglow Bay to find more.
