Evaluation

Sharks and Minnows launched on April 14, 2025 and has received consistent post-launch support. The developer shipped a major first update on November 18, 2025, which nearly doubled the game's length by adding new areas and achievements. In that same post, the developer explicitly committed to two additional major updates: a lore update and a post-game update. On April 5, 2026, the developer posted again, confirming that Major Update 2 would release "within two months. Possibly one." That window closed around early-to-mid June 2026. As of October 8, 2026, no update has shipped and the developer has posted nothing since April 5, 2026 — a silence of over six months with no communicated reason for the delay. The commitment to Major Update 2 remains outstanding and unretracted, but the developer has gone silent well beyond the promised delivery window. This combination — a concrete, undelivered promise and a prolonged communication blackout — raises genuine uncertainty about whether and when the announced content will arrive.
Evidence
Developer states Major Update 2 should release within two months (possibly one). This is the last developer communication as of October 8, 2026.

About this game

Sharks and Minnows is an exploration-based survival horror game where players scavenge a haunted swim center and must complete ten laps to escape.

One autumn afternoon, your trip to the local pool takes a paranormal turn. After emerging from the water, you suddenly find yourself totally alone. Any attempt to leave just leads you back to the water.

The more you swim, the more your stamina drains, and running out has deadly consequences. The facility has scattered supplies that could replenish it, but you'll have to search for them.

It's lonely. Will you ever make it home?

As you explore deeper into the facility's alcoves for supplies, you get the sense that your search isn't solitary. If you aren't careful, you may end up trapped forever.
