What is Tidewater about?

Wash up on a sunny tropical island with a rod, a little boat and a fish log to fill. Walk the beach and the pier, then head out across a living ocean and try to finish the day's work before dark. Cast, wait for the bite, and play the line. Log each species, sell your catch to Joe, and buy upgrades and diesel from Marta. Landscape, desktop only (keyboard and mouse). Requires WebGPU: please play in an up-to-date Chrome or Edge on a desktop computer. First launch compiles shaders and can take 1-2 minutes.
