A lot of games today are pretty action-oriented and that can get a little overwhelming for some. So, what if there was a game that was just built for the sake of being relaxing? That’s the exactly the case with the new VR title Catch and Release. As the name suggests, this game is all about fishing. In fact, the game’s motto is simply: “Just you. On a lake.” It doesn’t get much more simple than that.
In Catch and Release, your goal is to simply take your rowboat out on a lake and do some fishing. You can choose to throw whatever you catch back into the water or keep them. There are also some secrets hidden beneath the waves, players are encouraged to explore every nook and cranny of the lake.
Check out the gameplay trailer:
There’s currently no release date, but it will be coming to PSVR in addition to Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality headsets. Here’s a rundown of the features:
A light-hearted, engaging VR simulation game with a meditative free-form experience.
With playful, captivating gameplay and a striking art style, Catch & Release gives players the opportunity to interact with a beautiful world, catch fish, find treasure and their own little boat through a serene and detailed lake environment. You’ll dive in for ten minutes and step off the boat without realizing two hours have passed.
For an experience unlike anything else. Catch & Release has been built from the ground up for VR and tracked controllers.
Somewhere in the deep forests of North America, between the small village of Misty Falls, small creeks and waterfalls and the long windy roads.
