I was struck by its generic quality, and its lack of a strong central conflict. Magic Fish sends you on a mission, will give you some money (measured in Lunars not Wealth), maybe you tussle with Lunars, maybe you don't, Baboons show up but don't do much, fight some minor league chaos beasties, and back to the magic fish.

Hidden agendas?
Possible team work (give something to Baboons or they report you to the Lunars)?

I thought the pictures were charming.
But not much about the PC's learning to relate to the river, learning about water mythology.
