This song takes most inspiration from Shin Megami Tensei IV’s title theme, intentionally being too serious and moody for the game’s themes of fighting goofy, oversized, and aesthetically-clashing fish.

Thank all of you for making release as fun as it was! That being said, we were bound to run into some bugs with the over 300+ new players poking holes in our game. The goal of this patch is to address as many of those bugs as possible!

The development of Bait & Tackle has come a long way since we began development two years ago..
Fun Fact: The photorealistic art style used for bosses was originally just placeholder art, but playtesters enjoyed it so much we decided to lean into that style!
