About This Game

Current Playtest build

To address character-facing and content stability issues, the Playtest has temporarily rolled back to the stable Initial Island Demo build. Water Town, the 12-island archipelago, and Seaplane Mode are not included in the current build.

Begin on the initial island

Start your fishing life on a quiet initial island. Cast from shore, take your boat to nearby fishing waters, and bring the day's catch back to sell.

Follow the fishing rhythm

• Cast from shore or while your boat is stopped, then wait for a bite.

• Follow clear rhythm cues to hook and land each fish.

• Learn the nearby fishing spots and improve your results with every trip.

Bring every trip home

• Sell your catch to fund the next voyage.

• Improve your rod and vessel to make fishing and sailing more capable.

• Explore the waters around the initial island and choose your next fishing spot at your own pace.

Current test scope

This Playtest supports Windows 64-bit with Simplified Chinese and English interfaces. Water Town, the 12-island archipelago, Seaplane Mode, diving, spearfishing, cooking, customer systems, controller support, and Steam Deck support are temporarily outside the current build's scope.

Songs of the Shoals is a cozy single-player fishing adventure about reading the sea, improving your gear, and making each return count.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This game uses pre-generated AI-assisted content. Tencent Hunyuan 3D Studio was used to create base concepts, 3D geometry, textures, and some source animation data for the male and female player characters. The development team then manually edited and integrated the assets, including topology, rigging, animations, hands, materials, and technical review. No AI content is generated during gameplay. Store images are in-game captures and do not use image-generation services.
