Evaluation

Fishing Vacation is a self-contained Game Boy-style fishing horror adventure that launched on April 20, 2022 as a finished product with a defined scope: over 30 catchable creatures, a complete story spanning 3 in-game days, multiple endings, and a set of color palettes. The store description makes no mention of future content or ongoing development — the game is presented as a complete experience. Following launch, the developer (Scottie) posted three bug-fix updates in April and May 2022 addressing control clarity, fish placement bugs, dialogue formatting, and typos. The most recent update, Version 1.9 on February 1, 2023, added a small piece of content to the cellar area along with an additional achievement — the developer framed this as a minor addition rather than a signal of ongoing content development. That February 2023 post is the last official communication from the developer. There have been no announcements of future content, no unreleased DLC, no roadmap, and no stated intention to expand the game. The developer has not posted since February 1, 2023 — over three years ago — with no indication that further updates are planned. The game appears to have launched as a complete, self-contained product and has been in a finished state since its final small update in early 2023.

About this game

It's the vacation you've been waiting for!
You and your buddy have the keys to their uncle's cabin up in the mountains near the best lake you've ever fished at! The ecology has seemed to change since you've last been there though, and the uncle is no where to be found... but don't let that stop you from reeling in a big one!

Fishing Vacation is an homage to Gameboy games of the past. The game is part fishing adventure, part atmospheric horror with a good dose of humor. Over the span of 3 days you'll dig up your own worms and catch your own dinner as you uncover the mysteries of the vacant cabin and the whereabouts of your friend's uncle and their family.

The game features:
-Over 30 types of fish and creatures to catch
-A humorously horrific story
-3+ endings (Roughly 30 mins to an hour per playthrough)
-10+ color palettes to choose from

-CONTROLS-
A and B are Z and X on the keyboard. A controller is recommended to play.
