An Ink study based on the idea of a fishing mini-game. Each fish you catch unlocks additional dialogue from an old Irish fisherman, who tells tales of his past life on the island. There's a mysterious sea monster in the area that you, the player, definitely want to catch, maybe the fisherman can offer some advice?

(loosely inspired by 'Fiche Bliain ag Fás' and a recent trip to Carraroe, 
my main exposure to the west-coast rural Irish life.)

Winner of the Into Games weekly challenge on the theme: Fishing Mini-Game

"Write a short story about an old fisherman recounting tall tales to a younger character. Maybe they caught a fish bigger than a house, or maybe they managed to defend their lifeboat from a leviathan from the deep, barely escaping with their life? I’m sure this old sailor has lived a rich life, full of exciting tales from the high seas."
