Never Stop Fishing No Matter What You're Doing

Strange Shores is a casual online fishing game you play from the corner of your desktop with up to 4 players.

With passive yet engaging fishing mechanics, it's designed to let you discretely play while you work, study, talk, game, or stream!

  • Resizable corner window for passive play

  • Over 100 fish and odd objects to catch

  • Unlockable bait and fishing locations

  • Peaceful solo mode

Multiplayer That Doesn’t Demand Your Attention

Strange Shores is designed to be played passively in the background, meaning you can fish with friends all day without needing huge focus. 

  • Join or host a 4-player server

  • See your friends' catches 

  • Send emotes to celebrate or silently judge

  • Minimal interface, low pressure, cosy vibes

Catch Weird Stuff, Unlock Weird Stuff

Reel in over 100 fish and strange objects, from typical lake fish like Perch and Trout to Astro Duckies and Farmer Frogs.

As you collect objects, you'll unlock new fishing locations and bait. Let the collectathon commence! 

Caught a Blob the Builder Fish? You've just unlocked a cityscape. Caught a Landing Module? Now you can fish in space!

Take a Social Break in Solo Mode

Need a break from social fishing? No problem -- Strange Shores offers a full-featured singleplayer mode. So you can keep fishing even when your friends are offline.
