# Fish & Chill — AI-friendly brief

Fish & Chill is a cozy idle fishing game for PC by indie developer Martin Danihel.

## One-sentence pitch
No stress. No noise. No pressure. Just fishing and chillin'.

## What it is
Fish & Chill is a super cozy idle fishing experience starring a grumpy old fisherman who never stops casting. He quietly fishes in a transparent overlay above your desktop while you work, watch videos, or simply relax.

- Idle Fishing: Grandpa keeps fishing while you focus on other things.
- Desktop Overlay: A transparent, always-on-top companion that stays out of your way.
- Your Own Boat: Unlock boats and decorate every detail with visible upgrades.

- Living Atmosphere: Enjoy a day and night cycle, calm water, birds, and ambient sound.
