Bio
I played Twilight Princess as a kid and haven't been able to get video games out of my head ever since.

Super close to reaching the nirvana of GOAT cozy/chill games like Stardew Valley, but it's just a bit too shallow and hand-holdy to really achieve that status. That core loop of go diving for fish -> nighttime restaurant managing -> diving is really strong, but the further you get into the game, the more stuff takes away from that loop. Story quests that are... just kinda fine, side content that doesn't add a ton to the experience, and not quite enough ways to really optimize your whole experience like in the Best of the Best. Think it's worth trying out though.
