Gameplay and Progression
Players begin their survival by picking clams off rocks for meager sustenance or selling them by shoving them into an old seadog's mouth for cash. That initial currency allows players to purchase a fishing rod and begin catching marine life.
Once reeled in, fish and sea-life flop and crawl across the land until subdued. Players start with only their fists but can eventually buy knives, brass knuckles, and firearms to deal with catches. The title also features barbecue stations for cooking seagulls, slot machines, roulette wheels for gambling catch profits, quests from NPCs, and a chain of islands housing larger threats like sharks and king crabs.
