Go fishin' in this semi-autobiographical Game Boy game about expectations, queerness, and the possibility of dreaming bigger. Based on a true conversation the artist had with her mom at a seafood restaurant, the game allows players to make the choice to fish—or not. What if we refuse to play the game?
