Install instructions
Cast off and walk away.
Hit ▶ Cast Off — your boat fishes on its own. No clicking required.
⚖️ Mind the hold
Your hold is measured in kilograms, and a fish must fit entirely or it slips away. Sell at any harbour to keep space free — every merchant pays full price.
🏪 Spend your gold
Rods, bobbers, bigger boats and bait, all in the Market. Bait is stocked island by island — you can only buy an isle's lures once you've actually reached it.
🗺️ Sail onward
Four isles await, each hiding rarer and heavier quarry than the last.
🔬 Build the empire
Feed your best catches to the Research Hall for permanent upgrades, and spend hard-won levels on Mastery tree.
⏳ Slow by design
Expect an hour or two per meaningful upgrade — and note nothing happens while game is closed. Leave it running and it keeps fishing.

I want to play this game as it seems really fun and right up my alley however every time I click on anything in the game it freezes my video for anything I'm watching on the side or blacks it out completely. I can still hear the video but I can't see anything. Very odd bug but I basically can't play this game while watching something else which is a bummer. If that can be fixed I'll give it another shot.
Thanks for the post, will look into it :)
Edit: should be fixed now
