I'd rather be fishing

About

I'd Rather Be Fishing is a lighthearted visual novel that focuses on mundane decisions and small moments. You spend time with a character who consistently chooses to fish instead of engaging in other activities. The gameplay involves simple dialogue choices and scene progression, with minimal narrative stakes. Each scenario emphasizes relaxation and the charm of doing nothing in particular. The art style is clean but low-poly, with environments that feel intentionally unpolished. This game was developed in 72 hours for Mini Jam 106 and released in May 2022. RazorFinger designed it as a browser-based single-player experience. Despite its brief runtime, the title has earned a 7.6/10 average on indie forums for its deadpan humor and anti-productivity theme. Players appreciate the deliberate pacing and the way it turns inactivity into a central mechanic. No major expansions or updates have been announced since launch.
