Aiming to revive a new life and city with the calm fishing slow life RPG "MOONGLOW BAY" [Bakugo Repo]

This work is a slow life RPG in which the protagonist who has lost his beloved partner and is disappointed and aims to revive the city through fishery.The gentle atmosphere that gradually moves forward is given a very good play experience through interaction with residents in a town expressed in Boxel Art.Let's introduce it immediately.

Operation / settings

The operation of this work is compatible with keyboard & mouse or controller.According to the Steam Store's explanation, it was partially controller support, but even if I actually played with the Xbox One controller, I was able to play without any inconvenience.For graphics, it can be adjusted from options to window mode and screen size, but note that the screen size may change randomly according to the mode change.

At this stage, the language is not compatible with Japanese.There are many simple English and icon displays for the operation, so it is easy to play, so it is possible to play itself, but if you want to enjoy the scenario carefully, it may be a little difficult.however!It seems that it can be expected because it will be supported in Japanese in the future update.

prologue

When you select a New Game, you will enter the screen where you can select the operation character that will be the alter ego of the player.The interesting thing here is that the appearance and gender can be selected independently.

The name can also be selected from SHE, THEY, HE.This time, I chose they and named it as a spa.

Here, the story progresses in the prologue and tutorial, and the player learns basic fishing Iroha.

The operation is easy, pushing the A button and swinging the fishing rod, pulling it with RT while pulling it to the feet of the operation character.Naturally, the fish rampage, so it is not easy.Therefore, while inputting the stick in the opposite direction of the fish swimming, it is sometimes slowed down by pulling it at a stretch with LT.

It's very nice when you catch it at the end of your hard work.

We received a present from an important partner to celebrate the first adventure.What a happy everyday.

The date has flowed for three years ...

...... What happened, spa -kun sitting on a double bed on a room that is all -you -can -eat.According to the story, the city where the fishery failed was lonely, and his partner has died ...

However, it was River, the daughter who raised the spa sinking at the bottom of such disappointment.She came to her job to revive this city.Spa -kun, who cleans up the room neatly so that she is beaten by her energetic girlfriend, has opened a present that she could not open after losing her partner.

...... It was one fishing diary.

Spa -kun decides to revive when escape is over.From here, a new life and work starting on fishing begin.

Let's catch fish

By the way, Spa -kun makes a living by fishing and contributes to the reconstruction of the city.Anyway, if you don't have fish, you won't start, so let's catch more and more.In the tutorial I mentioned earlier, it was a simple operation, but here we do a little more technical.

The fishing rod can be selected, which makes the type of fish that can be caught.

For example, there are types of fish movements such as "normal", "aggressive", and "quick", and if you choose a lure according to it, it will be easier to catch the fish you want.

In addition, there is almost no choice in the early stages, but fishing bait is an important factor that affects the size of the fish.

If you use a net, you can collect beach creatures.

If you proceed with the story to some extent, you can get a ship that can move freely on the sea, and the variations of fish that can be caught will increase at a stretch.

The place where you can fish is limited to special fixed spots on land, but you can freely select and shake the pole at sea.Regarding the specifications around here, some people may want to fish freely on land.

The fish you caught ...?

The fish you catch are mainly used for cooking, but if you are not discovered, donate to the aquarium first.As a request (described later), the aquarium is also an important facility related to the reconstruction of the city.It is a good idea to provide new fish and make the aquarium lively.

Apart from that, the main character's fishing diary will update fish information if you catch it.At first, the only thing that I didn't understand was the only thing that I didn't understand, but I got the real thing, and the details such as "Where, when, and what tools could I catch?"In addition, it may be a good idea to get such hints in conversations from residents, and use it to aim for the fish you want.

Now it's a cooking time by Spa.Although it is a cooking system in this work, I personally think that it is the real pleasure of playing experience at the level that does the same as the fishing system.The dishes are selected from the kitchen at home, selecting a recipe for the cooking menu.Players cook by proceeding with button operation by button operation.

I clear the fish from the refrigerator, wash, cut, and fry each mini -game one by one, but this is the fun of cooking and cooking.

The mini -game itself is not too easy and is not too difficult.Recipes will increase by mastering beginners and each dish and making requests for the city.

Complete!Cooking is the main source of income and a tool that is necessary for interaction with the residents.

The finished dishes are also recorded in the fishing diary.

Throw the cooked dish into a vending machine in front of your home and change it to your income.This city is a unique cultural zone where shells are replaced by money, and they are deposited to the protagonist's account every day at 9am.What kind of world is.In any case, there are various uses, such as upgrading ships and purchasing equipment.

Let's make a request

By the way, a bulletin board is set up in the city, and various requests from the residents will fly.You can get information such as recipes and new fish hints by successful.Some requests have a deadline, so it may be better to receive all orders for the time being and go to clean up the request if the ingredients are available.

I forgot where the task was ...Specific purposes, places, and information are summarized, and the map is also very convenient.

in conclusion

Personally, if you say that the camera is looking down, you can't see the scenery of the corner.Of course, on the fishing system, I understand that this is not a good idea, but it would have been nice to have the camera freely when traveling around the sea or town.However, even if you subtract it, I think that this work has been adjusted overall, without the balance of each element that runs and lives everyday, mainly fishing and requests.For that reason, the rhythm of the play experience felt in this work was exactly the calm of slow life.
