About This Game

Turn a small net into a sea of chain reactions

Start with simple casts, bring your catch home and choose the upgrade that shapes your next voyage. Build toward electric chains, bursting puffers, drifting storms and traveling nets, then add automated helpers and sonar to make your equipment and special catches work together.

Gilded Shoals is a relaxing incremental fishing game built around short voyages and lasting upgrades. Move your net over a living shoal, grow your haul and return to the harbor with another choice to make.

Choose your route through the chart
Explore 232 upgrades across eight connected branches. Strengthen your casts, discover new catches, improve your helpers or make each haul more valuable. Grow your boat through 35 levels and reach the campaign's ending, with optional fishing beyond it.

Find your next favorite fishing spot
Travel through five illustrated locations, from sunlit sandbars and coral gardens to a forgotten wreck and a luminous midnight basin. Brief Golden Shoals offer double-Gold catches, while rare Shiny and Radiant fish bring a small celebration to the water.

A different sea at departure
Later voyages can bring nine unusual sea conditions, from a Silver Run to a Moonrise Migration. Changing currents, migrating shoals and drifting cargo alter the opportunities on the water. Fill your field journal, earn milestone rewards and uncover hidden achievements along the way.

Bring a little of the sea home
Rescue Shiny and Radiant fish for a living aquarium with 28 collectible variants. Unlock new backdrops and decorations through play, with six aquarium settings and eight decorations to discover. Drag each decoration wherever you want to make the aquarium your own.

Two ways to grow
Calm Waters offers one-time discoveries. Rising Tide adds repeatable upgrades and Pearl keystones. Each mode keeps its own progress, so you can explore both at your own pace.

Discover fifteen catch types, including Spark Rays, Tempest Jellies and drifting treasure, in an illustrated sea with warm brass details and an original synthesized soundtrack.
