Neshat

A curious young angler in a woolen scarf, with a basket for the day’s catch.

Neshat’s first request is the most Neshat thing in the game: “Could you bring me one salmon? I want to study its colors.” After that the river becomes part of your day, with a fish of the day and catches that range from salmon to sturgeon, jellyfish and, somehow, sharks.

The perfect afternoon, for Neshat, involves an inlaid tea table by the lodge and a lot of river-watching.
