About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

Fishing companion that sits on your taskbar while you work. Bites come every few minutes - react with a single click, fill an illustrated journal of saltwater reef fish, watch your catches drift in a personal aquarium.

Fishing for the corners of your day

Deskwaters is a small, charming fishing companion that lives in your desktop.

Bites happen on a realistic and organic schedule, weighted by time of day and weather. When a fish bites, you get a gentle chime and a window to react.

While you work, study, game or browse, the boat is always there, anchored at the bottom of your screen.

Cast a line between meetings. Get Deskwaters and bring a little water to your workday.

Features:

🎣 Always-on-top desktop companion. Lives in a tiny transparent window on your taskbar. Stays out of the way of

everything else.

🐟 A roster of hand-pixeled fish to discover. Common reef regulars, rare visitors, and the occasional legendary

catch. Every species has its own illustrated journal entry.

⏳ Patience as a mechanic. Bites happen on a slow, organic schedule minutes to hours apart.

🎯 A single, satisfying catch fight. Designed to be fun and engaging without removing your commitment from other tasks.

📓 Track your catches in a illustrated journal. Flavor text, star ratings, weights, timestamps.

🐠 A personal aquarium. Keep your catches swimming in a relaxing backdrop. Decorate the tank with treasures.

💰 A tiny Mermaid shop. Sell duplicates for coins, spend them on aquarium decor and other customizations.

🌅 Day, night, and weather. Synced to your system clock — what's biting at 2 PM isn't biting at midnight.

🔇 Background Ambience and SFX are designed to be relaxing and not distract you from your day to day.

🏆 Steam Achievements and Cloud Saves across machines.

🐚 Steam Presence and Stat tracking so your friends can see when you've hooked something good.
