Story
The gameplay of Moonglow Bay begins when the player's partner is declared dead after being missing for three years. The player character is joined by their daughter and resolves to fulfill their partner's dream of revitalizing the old fishing town they call home. The daughter and the inhabitants of the town teach the player to fish, cook, and upgrade the boat. After learning that the town's fishing industry died upon hearing too many tall tales of the ocean life, the player must confront a famous fish called The Ruin to prove to the townsfolk that the legends are overblown.
This restarts the town's fishing industry, but the fisherman inform the player that a big storm is keeping them from success. Upon investigation, the storm turns out to be caused by an upset electric fish shocking the area. After freeing the fish, the player happens upon a large gate that seals away a portion of the bay. The townsfolk tell a story about the founding twins of the town, who passed the key down until it was thrown into the ocean.
