You’re marooned on a mysterious island with no hope of rescue. The silver lining? The ocean is teeming with fish, and you’ve got a rod! In Casting Away, hook everything from seahorses to sharks, then harvest your haul to upgrade your home base. You might add a shipyard to build a bigger boat or start a farm to produce eggs and milk. Paradise awaits!
What we love: The serenity. Stylized visuals and soothing music make it a joy to simply cruise out into the water and cast your line against the backdrop of shooting stars and a smoldering volcano. And if you catch a critter that’s just too beautiful to part with, stick it in your fish farm to admire whenever you like.
Quick tip: To hook valuable deep-sea fish, open your fishing bag and craft advanced bait that’ll attract these prized catches. And be sure to add a bait hide so your lure will sink as deep as your line allows without being gobbled by any small fries near the surface.
