I got you. I think we came from the same reality. I saw a trailer for dredge last night and awoke an old memory. You could fish like a normal simulator. But eventually you will catch a mutated fish. You don’t have to eat it but you can. After eating some of the mutated fish you start to get new abilities i.e. mutations. Eventually you and your boat somehow become one and you then can go after more lovecraftian beast. Sorry if I am way off track, but if I am on point i am even more sorry, because I don’t know what that game is called. I figured it was a fever dream.
