I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Lu Nascimento and Zach Soares of Bunnyhug Games to chat about their adorable upcoming slice of life fishing RPG,Moonglow Bay. This charming title originally caught my attention during its reveal at theID@Xbox Showcaseearlier this year. In our interview, we share new gameplay and discuss what Moonglow Bay is, which games have the best fishing mechanics, what it’s been like working with Xbox and Xbox Game Pass, and much more.
What is Moonglow Bay?
Moonglow Bay is a chill, fishing RPG with elements of town and relationship management. You play as an angler working to fulfill your recently deceased partner’s final wish by running a fishing business on the brink of bankruptcy. Your main objective is to catch as many fish as possible, which can then be sold to upgrade your ship and venture out even further into the mysterious waters.
Beyond just hooking and capturing sea creatures, you’ll also be able to cook and play around with an assortment of fishing tools. If you’re looking for something with fishing mechanics not quite as simple as Animal Crossing, but not nearly as complex as what you might find in hardcore sims, Moonglow Bay strikes an engaging balance. The Team at Bunnyhug Games also promises a captivating, linear story with loads of compelling characters with unique relationship dynamics.
