The Big Catch tells the story of the acrobatic fisherman Caster as he ventures across the world hunting for long-lost secrets and the untold history that’s lying just beneath the surface of his mysterious homeland. Caster works for the esteemed and enigmatic Chef Leurre. Alongside his kinsman and rival, Tackle, they search the vast, barren deserts for ingredients for Leurre and the titular restaurant, The Big Catch. Although a seemingly mundane task, Caster and Tackle’s journey sees them crossing paths with bands of thieves, mysterious beings from another world, corrupt politicians, regretful heretics, forest sprites, and ancient monsters—all in pursuit of the one thing of any true value left in such a
wasteland: FISH.
Inspired by the bold creativity of 3D platformers of the 5th and 6th console generations, The Big Catch presents an ambitious story and world to explore with fluid, skill-based action. Use fast, acrobatic platforming to flip, swim, fight, and spin across an arcane desert world. Master the tools of your trade, using your rod to fend off foes and reach new heights. Soon you’ll discover that there’s much more than fish at stake.
