Predict fish habitats based on the field guide! The strategy begins even before you cast your line
This game is an authentic fishing experience where players can enjoy freshwater and mountain stream fishing at locations such as rivers, lakes, and ponds, all rendered in a warm, Japanese-style aesthetic.
It’s not just about enjoying fishing; the game also features a fantasy-inspired story in which players embark on an adventure to restore the colors lost due to a “curse” cast upon the world. Together with adorable supernatural companions, players will fish to lift the curses cast upon a total of eight fishing spots.
When it comes to the core fishing mechanics, exploration and strategic thinking are key. In particular, exploration isn’t just about spotting fish; the gameplay emphasizes using the field guide to identify fish habitats and casting your line at predicted spots—requiring both strategic thinking and the instincts of a skilled angler.
The game features over 100 types of fish. In addition to real-world species like ayu and oikawa, it also introduces game-original “mysterious fish” that have taken on unusual appearances due to the curse.
As for fishing gear, a wide variety of rods and lures are available, and meticulous preparation tailored to the target fish will likely determine your success.
"My Fishing Diary" is scheduled for release on October 8, 2026, for the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. The price is 6,578 yen (tax included). Pre-orders for the physical edition began today, July 2.
