Riverlight: chasing the fifth legend

Riverlight is a cozy, story-led fishing RPG, and the spine of it is one unfinished promise. Grandpa Theo left a journal with five legends still uncaught, and each one lives in a different water: the home river, a lantern-lit lake, a deep gorge, and the open estuary under the lighthouse.

What is in the build

  • 48 fish across four waters, with different catches by day and night.
  • A hold-and-release reel built for one thumb in portrait. It should feel like tension, not a timer.
  • A cabin to decorate, plus rod and creel upgrades, collection and selling.
  • Narrated journal memories that carry the story between casts, offline and with no account.

What comes next: a weather system that changes which fish bite, and a photo mode for your best catches.

Tell us which water you want expanded first. The estuary is the current favourite, but the gorge is where the hard fish live.
