Fishing

Fishing is an optional mini game in Everafter Falls. The player can use one of four Fishing Rods in order to cast their line into the water, by holding the action button, near fish silhouettes. If the line lands close enough to the fish it will begin to swim towards the line, biting it after a short period of time. To catch a fish the player must tap the action button once the fish bites (There will be both audio and visual queues for this). Once the fish is on the line a small mini game will appear pausing the in game time until it i concluded. The base mini game is set up with 2 reels spinning in circles while a hook hovers above. When the player taps the the action button it will stop the outer most reel first, then the proceed inward with each press of the action button. The reels each have wedges taken out of them and need to be lined up below the hook in order to catch the fish it corresponds with. Once all reels have stopped moving the the hook will fall directly downward. The hook will pass through any wedges until it cant anymore, and will catch all fish on all reels if it lands in the innermost reel. If it does not land in the center it will catch the fish the reel corresponds to. The player can add Fishing Mods to their fishing rod in order to add different effects to the fishing mini game, such as wider wedge gaps, slower spin rate, further cast distance, and more.

The Fishing mini game is optional and may be turned off via the settings menu. If the player disables the fishing mini game they simply need to cast their line towards the fish. Once it bites a single fish will be caught instead of the chance for multiple catches.
