Video game journalist Gene Park DM’d The Weeknd to talk about video games for The Washington Post and the R&B superstar used the opportunity to talk about his latest obsession – About Fishing.
Inspired by Shenmeu and Sega Bass Fishing, About Fishing is “a fishing mystery game that blends the calm, meditative rhythm of fishing with the quiet tension of discovery.
It drifts between serenity and unease, as every catch brings you closer to uncovering what lies beneath,” according to the game’s description. “Every cast is a chance to uncover something unexpected.
The fish you catch become your guides, helping you reach fragments of a long-forgotten mystery hidden beneath the surface. You can lose yourself in the calm of fishing or follow the clues the water offers.”.
The indie game is set to launch later this year but a demo is available to play now via Steam.

After playing the About Fishing demo, The Weeknd reportedly invited the game’s creator Kevin Brown and composer Cameron Ginex to his office to play the game together, and they’re still in a group chat together.
[Brown] can make something feel terrifying, and then, in the same beat, make you laugh. That is someone in control of their craft.”.
