addedThe Big Fishing OverhaulThe biggest change is fishing. We replaced the old minigame-style fishing system with a new mouse-driven interactive fishing mechanic. It is a little more challenging now, but also much more engaging and satisfying once you get the hang of it. Fishing should feel less like a simple minigame and more like something you actively control.

UI Improvements

We also made a big pass on the UI. The menus are now more readable, cleaner, and easier to use. We wanted the game to feel cozy, but also clear and accessible.

The New Notebook System

There is also a new Notebook system where you can now:

Track your quests
Check your achievements
See your relationships with the villagers

This should make it much easier to follow your progress, remember what you were doing, and stay connected with the people of Misty Valley.

As always, we are still improving things step by step. Thanks for playing, testing, and helping us make the game better. Enjoy the demo and Ocean Fest 2026!

All changes are now available in the updated Demo version, available on Steam: Misty Valley A Cozy Fishing Tale Demo
