Your character survives on your real catches. Nothing else. Fish Til Death is a survival game tied to your real fishing. Log a catch and your character's health improves. Go too long without one and he starts to fade. There's no fake food and no way to cheat — the only thing keeping him alive is you actually fishing. How it works: Catch to survive. Log a catch by taking a photo right in the app. Every fish either restores your health or builds your stash, depending on how you're doing. Your stash is your buffer. A full stash burns down before your health ever does. Fish regularly and you'll rarely see your health move at all. Go quiet for too long and it's the only thing standing between you and zero. Keep each other alive. Donate fish from your stash to bail out a friend who's running low, or let them return the favor when you're the one struggling. Build a real record. Track your longest run, your total catches, and unlock achievements for the milestones that actually mean something - surviving a close call, hitting a streak, becoming the friend everyone counts on. No fake fish. No pay-to-survive. Just you, your rod, and the honest question: how long can you last?
