About I Just Wanted to Fish
I Just Wanted to Fish is a cosy fishing adventure. A wanderer in a wide straw hat comes ashore on an island where most paths are closed, with only a fishing rod and a basket.
The fishing is hands-on: let a fish run, reel in while it rests, and pull too hard and the line snaps. Nights are pitch dark, so you hang a lantern on your basket and keep fishing. You lay your catch out on a mat, but gulls, crabs and a few thieves are watching it too. Helping the people in the harbour town opens new paths across the island, and there's more to the place than it first seems.
Fork Dev is making it for Windows, due early in 2027, with a free demo on Steam. The developer built it in 30 days with Claude and says AI tools helped with 3D models, animations, text, translations and visuals.
