Are the hooded figurines timed quests?

The gold hood died after i wasted 20 minutes searching for his fish.
Please tell me if they are timed quests so i can ignore them and give the game a negative review

How have they been surviving this long? They must have packed enough sandwiches to last them on those islands.

The other fisherman, the one you replaced, brought them fishes. DUH!!!

Question is does the timer start when you first talk to them or does it just start from day 1?

Timed quests are fine if there’s an interesting consequence to failure.

Timed quests that don’t explicitly tell you they are timed and how much time you have are SUPER bad.

Neither of the two I ran into said they were starving or gave ANY indication of starving. In fact, I brought the first one a fish right away and they only ate the heart. That does not seem like starving to me lol.

Best thing is to give devs a +1 negative review without any warning whatsoever.

The Blue Hooded one clearly states "Fisherman, help... Fulfill the hunger." then prompts you for the fish.

Red and Gold don´t, just checked. Blue one was timed out for me.
Sucks a little bit but really don´t care.

Little bit of harsh to give negative review for and bad sidequest but if it helps someone to feel better...

[Mazz]

I just want to point out that their death timer doesn't start until you talk to them. Giving a negative review is your right but I don't personally agree that it is warranted.

It's a bit silly they are timed, weird decision for sure.

Giving a fantastic game like this a negative review because you have asinine rules is just dumb though.

WEEEEl, the game is mainly fishing 90% and hiting a tiny bit usually causes a crack in the middle of the ship and loosing the most valuable fish. I also dont like when i lose an engine to the silly big fish you cant avoid.

I am a completionist, i play a game for as long as it takes to do everything. Restarting such a boring game seems like a major flaw because there are no choices or multiple paths of resolving the tasks.
And their rewards are unique + they seem to follow a cult narative, i wanted to help them.
besides, its such an easy fix, probably moders will help with that since devs these days only want to punish completionists

Only when you talk to them, for some reason. It doesn't really make any sense but there you have it.

I mean when the figure appears to be a grim reaper aka and embodiment of death, who is normally immortal yeah, he should be fine.

I gave the blue one a fish and then he wanted ANOTHER fish, so I assumed he'd be good for a bit cause I had stuff to do. Came back finally with a fish a few days later and he was dead... do you know why? Cause the idiot only ate the heart. That isn't going to sustain anyone. These guys deserve to die. They're delirious and throw away good food. As far as I'm concerned, they can all kick rocks.

Honestly if they are dead I say you should just take their stuff. You take from the dead all the time, why should this be any different? But nope, miss out on permanent upgrades thanks to a hidden timer.
