Songs of the Shoals

About the Game

A fishing rod, a sea breeze, and somewhere new to go

Songs of the Shoals is a single-player fishing and island-travel adventure. Leave the harbor, cast from shore or stop your boat over promising water, and enjoy the moment of waiting for a bite. Bring your catch home to sell, complete commissions, improve your gear, and let the next voyage take you a little farther.

Find the rhythm of the catch

Watch for a bite, time your response, and follow the fish's rhythm to land your catch. Notice how fishing spots, depth, weather, and time of day change what you can find. Fill your fishing handbook, make another trip to the harbor for better gear, or spend an afternoon at a favorite cove.

• Fish from the shore or from a stopped boat.
• Sell your catch, complete harbor commissions, and upgrade your rod and boat.
• Choose your next fishing ground and set your own pace.

Follow the sea breeze to another island

Sail through different bays and islands, then come ashore to wander through villages. Discover docks, lighthouses, a seaside cafe, and the people and scenery along the way. Daylight and weather change the water around you and offer new clues about where to fish next.

See the sea from above

When you want a different perspective, take a seaplane over the shore and islands. Look back at the route you sailed and see the archipelago beneath the passing clouds.

Calm water and changing skies

Sunshine, clouds, rain, and sea mist give each voyage a different mood. Waves, boat wakes, and shifting cloud cover shape the journey; when a storm arrives, the distant sea reveals a more mysterious side.
