That's from HOME (2024) by Nick G .of @deepdark.games. You can play solo or up to four players. It is *very* good and is one of my favorite games to recommend.

Played @possibleworlds.bsky.social's Tacklebox this evening, and it was excellent! Super easy setup, the "two people fishing on a boat" premise was really strong, and the prompts were very clever.
Highly recommended if you want a 2-player story game!
