Cast away with Caster
In The Big Catch, you step into the agile shoes of Caster, an acrobatic fisherman tasked with saving the titular restaurant, The Big Catch, from shutting down. Chef Leurre, Caster’s boss, sends him on a quest to gather rare and exotic ingredients to spice up the menu and attract new patrons. Navigate through an open world teeming with challenging terrains and intricate puzzles during your fishing expedition.
The game boasts a fluid and momentum-based movement system. In other words, you can fly through complex environments through a string of dynamic actions such as jumping, wall running, sliding, swimming, and even grinding. Equipped with your favorite fishing rod, you can interact with the environment to complete tasks and unravel secrets. Hooking, reeling, casting, and tugging objects add a layer of depth to the platforming mechanics.
While the primary objective revolves around fishing, the platformer hints at a deeper, more enigmatic narrative. Whispers of a dark past and ominous otherworldly entities suggest that your adventure is more than just a simple fishing trip. As for the visuals, the game comes alive with 3D graphics in a cartoon art style reminiscent of arcade games. For all that, you still have to wait for its official release.
