Lake Prespa

Lake Prespa is a quiet fishing and village-building game set on a real lake high in the Balkan mountains, in the village of Pustec, Albania. You arrive on the shore with a rod and an empty plot by the water. Baba Mara has watched this lake her whole life, and she remembers everything. Fish, sell your catch and raise the village again, roof by roof and season by season, while she tells you what the lake keeps. FISH THE WAY PUSTEC ALWAYS HAS • Cast a rod from the pier, float a pelaizia (a raft of juniper branches the fish shelter under) and throw the weighted pezula net over a shoal • Eleven fish of the lake to find, from carp and the little Prespa bleak to the legendary Prespa trout • A fishing journal for every catch, every record and every rare one BUILD A VILLAGE BY THE WATER • Eighteen kinds of building, each with three tiers: huts and piers, a smokehouse, a clay oven, a rakija…
