Evaluation

The Walking Fish 2: Final Frontier launched on June 1, 2020. Post-launch, the developer shipped one meaningful content addition — Act 3 ("The Running Fish") on July 12, 2020 — and a handful of patches. On March 30, 2022, the developer announced they were making the game free-to-play, citing that it had been out for nearly two years as a hobby project and that they wanted more players to enjoy it. The tone of that post — thanking paying customers for their contribution and saying it "inspired us to make more games" — reads as a fond farewell rather than a setup for ongoing development. The store description does mention that the game "will be expanded with new content over time" and references an evolving story tied to a subreddit roleplay, but that language predates the free-to-play announcement and there has been no developer communication since March 2022 (over four years ago as of June 2026). No new content, roadmaps, or announcements have followed. The single post-launch content drop occurred in mid-2020, and the developer has been silent since early 2022. The game appears to have shipped as a complete, self-contained experience.

Evidence

Developer announces the game is going free-to-play, thanks paying customers for their support, and says it inspired them to make more games — signaling a wind-down of active development on this title.

About this game

The Walking Fish is not human nor fish. It was born through our greed, and now we must pay the due price for it.

The long journey is nearing its end as you wake up in a cryo pod, but something is not quite right. As you wake up you find that the space station, that was supposed to colonize outer space, is seemingly empty. No sign of life can be found, but that is soon to be changed as a piercing roar starts echoing throughout the hallways.

Features

Outsmart the Walking Fish and try to escape the space station.
Explore a handcrafted space station and find what hides behind its many doors and hallways.
Solve puzzles to break past the high security lockdown system of the station.
Hear the stories of those who used to live there, and maybe they'll reveal to you more than your sanity can take.

The Walking Fish 2 is an entertainment experience that will be expanded with new content over time. This content relates to the developer roleplay that currently plays out on the game's official subreddit. We aim to blend the game experience with roleplay and an evolving story to create something unique.

The Game

The Walking Fish 2 is the sequel to a small indie game released in 2018, trying to lay the foundation for the fish comedy horror genre. This game blends the borders between joy and fear into something new. It is developed by a team of two.
