01 / THE GUIDE
Story and Objective
The narrative begins with a sick grandfather who fears his time is short, prompting the protagonist to pursue a village legend about a healing fish‑girl spirit. The journey moves upstream along the Megami River toward Hakuro Falls, where the guardian is said to reside.
Progress is tied to confronting increasingly powerful animals and assisting the people of Megamisawa Village. Each successful encounter brings the player closer to the ultimate goal of catching the guardian spirit.
- Observe how each village interaction expands the river’s reachable sections.
- Consider the story’s pacing when planning how long to spend on each fishing battle.

Fishing Battles
Fishing encounters are described as intense battles where timing and perseverance are essential. Players must reel in a wide variety of fish species while contending with powerful foes such as the legendary Oni Kabuto.
The combat‑style fishing emphasizes quick reactions, rewarding players who can adapt to each species’ behavior and the escalating difficulty of upstream opponents.
- Practice timing on early, easier fish before tackling legendary opponents.
- Watch the movement patterns of each species to anticipate reel timing.

Personal Aquarium
Caught fish are stored in a personal aquarium that players can view at any time. This feature provides a visual record of the species collected throughout the upstream journey.
The aquarium acts as a quiet interlude between battles, allowing players to appreciate their catches without the pressure of ongoing combat.
- Use the aquarium as a reference for which fish you have yet to encounter.
- Take breaks in the aquarium to reset focus before the next intense battle.

Village tasks are presented as optional side activities that nevertheless influence the overall progression, encouraging exploration beyond the main fishing route.
- Prioritize village requests that open shortcuts to later river sections.
- Balance village help with fishing practice to maintain combat readiness.
