Namiji*
Players take on the role of a fisherman in historical Japan, navigating the southern regions of the archipelago near the famous Tokaido Road. To win, a successful day at sea is essential, which includes observing sea creatures, fishing with nets or lines, and collecting crustaceans.
Enhancing fishing gear and engaging with marine deities through offerings or fulfilling their wishes during contemplation are key elements. The game features a linear action track similar to Tokaido, where players decide to advance slowly for more actions or quickly to reach desired action spaces before others.
