What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“There's always room to improve. I'd love to work together with the community, listen to feedback, and make the game even better before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I hope it won't take more than a year. The exact timing will depend on the feedback and how much polishing the game needs before I feel it's ready for a full release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay is already complete and isn't expected to change significantly. My main focus will be improving balance, polishing the overall experience, fixing issues, and adding a few new items and features inspired by community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable and already contains the complete core experience. Early Access is mainly about polishing, balancing, fixing issues, and expanding the game based on community feedback.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I don't currently plan to increase the price. If that ever changes, it would only be because the game has grown significantly with new content and features. My goal is for early supporters to feel they received great value for joining early.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The Discord and steam community will play a big role in development by helping shape future updates through feedback and suggestions.”

About This Game

Fish and Chill is a cozy idle fishing companion that lives on your desktop as a transparent, windowless overlay. While you work, watch videos, or procrastinate, a grumpy old fisherman quietly fishes on a little boat that floats above everything else. Peek in when you feel like it. Ignore him for hours. Either way, the line stays in the water.
No stress. No homework. Just fishing and chillin’.

  • 🎣 Idle Fishing – Grandpa casts, waits, and reels on his own. Leave him running all day.

  • 💰 Sell When You Want – When the hold is full, sail into Sardville and cash in at the market.

  • 🎣 Gear That Matters – Rods, hooks, and bait change what you can actually catch.

  • 🚤 A Boat You Can See – Flags, buoys, motors, cabins, and skins sit on the hull in front of you.

  • 🛶 More Than One Boat – Unlock new hulls and paint jobs, from a humble dinghy to a proper sea boat.

  • 🐟 Odd Fish, Real Collection – Harbor sprats, storm mackerel, wreck crabs, and the rare ones you’ll remember.

  • 🎁 Mystery Hauls – Sometimes it’s treasure. Sometimes it’s a boot. Either way, it goes in the hold.

  • 📬 A Harbor That Notices You – Mail, little town jobs, and a market that gives you a reason to come ashore.

  • 🌇 Day Turns to Night – The sky shifts, the water changes, and grandpa actually turns in to sleep.

  • 🌧️ Weather Rolls In – Rain and storms pass over the boat. Some days are better spent in town.

  • 🎨 Soft, Hand-Drawn Cartoon Look – Clean, calm, and easy to leave on-screen for hours.

  • 👴 A Fisherman With a Mood – Click him and he’ll mutter, brag, complain, or doze. He’s not wallpaper.

  • 🌊 Gentle Water, Quiet Motion – A small stretch of sea that sits still on your desktop.

  • 🎶 Sound Only If You Want It – Chill music, waves, and rain — or mute everything and let him fish in silence.

  • 🪟 A Living Desktop Sticker – Borderless, transparent, always there without looking like an app.

  • 🖥️ Always On Top, Never In The Way

  • 🧘 Zero Pressure – No timers yelling at you. No “come back now” guilt.

  • ⌛ Light Enough To Leave Running – Built to sit quietly while you actually use your PC.

  • 🔕 Play It. Glance At It. Forget It. – Grandpa doesn’t mind.
