Evaluation

The Big Catch: Tacklebox is a free standalone prologue explicitly designed to preview a larger, upcoming full game called The Big Catch. The store description states directly that this title "won't come close to reaching the depths of the upcoming full game" and encourages players to wishlist the full game, describing it as a meal that isn't yet ready. The full game remains unannounced on Steam as a purchasable product, meaning it has not yet launched. The prologue itself launched on June 7, 2024 and received consistent polish and feature updates through January 14, 2025 (the most recent developer communication), indicating the developer remains active. The developer's own framing positions this prologue as an appetizer for a larger product that is still coming — making additional content (the full game) explicitly planned.

About this game

Catch a short taste of The Big Catch and see if you're ready for the full adventure!


The Big Catch: Tacklebox is a standalone chapter and prologue to The Big Catch. Play as Tackle (Caster's rival and co-worker) during his final days of training before being hired by Chef Leurre. Test your platforming prowess, surf the sands, and get your feet wet catching some fish.

This free title won't come close to reaching the depths of the upcoming full game, but we hope you'll find dipping your toes refreshing nonetheless!

If you're hungry for more after this appetizer, do be sure to wishlist the full game! You're gonna want to finish this meal- once it's ready.
