What is Lake Minnewaska?
You play Sosa in a single-player, first-person fishing adventure on a mystical lake as he tries to reconnect with his daughter Rue. Journal clues lead you to fishing holes, where you tire out hooked fish by pulling against their movements, then reel them in to complete Rue's fishlist.

What players say
95% of 151 reviews are positive
Players praise the artwork, voice acting, and music. Some caution that the fishing takes a back seat to the narrative, rather than providing the fishing-focused game they expected.
