The Weeknd Is Hooked on a Creepy New Fishing Game
The Weeknd has opened up to “The Washington Post” about his latest gaming obsession. The artist is apparently all in on the upcoming indie title “About Fishing.” He told the publication that “the atmosphere got me immediately,” adding, “It reminded me of being a kid and finding games that felt like they came from somewhere else.” After trying the demo, The Weeknd even invited creator Kevin Brown and composer Cameron Ginex to his office to play together. He calls the game “beautiful and haunting in the right ways,” praising Brown’s ability to balance terror with humor. The full game is expected to launch later this year, with a demo currently available on Steam. The official game page invites players to “cast your line into calm waters and feel the quiet pull beneath the surface,” but warns “each cast brings rewards, but some things you reel in were never meant to be found.”
