YOUR BEARINGS, BEFORE YOUR FIRST CAST

Pick your next stop.

Start with a little local knowledge.
Leave the swamp some surprises.

01 / START FISHING

A quiet trip.
Or a crew of six.

Create a puppet angler and choose your company. Steam lists both single-player and online co-op, with proximity voice chat for the multiplayer trips.

PLAY YOUR WAY

Bring friends, or go solo.

The current Steam listing supports 1–6 players. Single-player is listed separately; that doesn’t establish completely offline play or cross-platform support.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY

A taste of the bayou.

The demo includes the core gameplay systems, with limits on world exploration and higher-tier tackle. A full-game location or item may fall outside the demo.

02 / THE SWAMP

A place worth
getting lost in.

Fishing is only part of the trip. The bayou is home to strange creatures, and heading farther out comes with risk: the official description warns that death costs your catch and equipped tackle.

Use the compass and recognizable service landmarks to get your bearings. Daily mission locals and the session’s Wormhole Buckets can change position.

04 / EARN & UNLOCK

Make it back.
Make it count.

A catch can mean more than cash. The game separates your earnings, the crew’s progress, and rewards from the locals.

01 Sell your haul
The Fish Monger buys your catch. Sales and tackle upgrades are part of the core fishing loop.
02 Fill the Dock Quota
Crew sales also contribute to a shared quota, with upgrades for the dock. It’s a team objective alongside personal earnings.
03 Meet the locals
The mission-system reference explains daily jobs and reward types; the Puppet Parts reference lists documented cosmetic reward mappings.
