Description

Just you. On a lake.
Step into your rowboat, grab the paddles and dive into a meditative, relaxing VR fishing experience like no other.
Catch & Release places you on a beautiful mountain lake and lets you freely explore and row around while you choose your fishing spot and take in the scenery. The backdrop for your fishing adventures includes dense forest, mountains, cliffs and reed covered coastlines.
While you fish you can listen to music on the radio, skip stones across the lake or use any other of the many interactive items.
Choose the right bait, pick a good fishing ground and cast your rod to get the biggest fish on the hook! But once you do, it’s not over yet. You’ll have to tire out your catch and win the fight before you can reel it in!
The game is designed to enable players to unwind and play however they want, or you can take on missions to unlock new gear and interactive items to help you catch the biggest fish!
Catch & Release has been built from the ground up for VR and tracked controllers. We have also compiled several radio channels with their own music genres for your listening pleasure on the lake.
Catch & Release works on Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Microsoft Mixed Reality.

User reviews
I've tried some other VR fishing games but this one is my favorite by far. The random weather effects (the sound, lighting, etc) really help add to the immersion, and also the fact that the UI is very minimal and stays
Just a really amazing game in my opinion. I love the silly names and fish designs. I would also love nothing more than an expansion of this game either via update or another catch & Release game. This game is a GEM!
This is up there with one of the best VR games so far. Just the experience is like a mini break after a tough day. Just you and a lake! Sad to hear its not getting updated anymore but its been left in a very good state.
Chill as hell. Particularly good with an overlay so you can watch Youtube or a stream or whatever. You can also set up your own custom radio stations, but you gotta have your songs in .ogg format, which is a bit of a
This game depends on what you like to do. If you like to fish for a while and just chill this is the game for you. But if you don't like fishing or you like games that are very exiting This game would not be for you.
I love this game so much and wish there was more. I would gladly pay for DLC. The ambiance, the fishing is so so relaxing after a long day of work. It's hot where I'm at so fishing in real life is out of the question at
