It comes from the same genre as Fishing Planet and shares a relaxing pace, open world exploration and single-player focus. Both also lean on exploration and discovery. The distance is in visuals and game mode — its own ground is strong narrative focus and a third-person camera.

On paper it is what Fishing Planet is — a relaxing pace and single-player focus — though the resemblance is mostly at that level. The distance is in visuals and game mode — its own ground is cozy, relaxing feel and an isometric view.

Shelved next to Fishing Planet for good reason: a casual, approachable feel and co-op play. Where the two diverge is visuals and tone: cozy, relaxing feel and offline play.
