The game is not released yet. Sites already publishing exact fish stats, prices or damage numbers before launch are guessing. Every fact here carries an OFFICIAL badge (from the Steam page and developer site); everything else is honestly marked POST-LAUNCH until we measure it ourselves.

The Five Confirmed Systems

Skill-Based Fishing OFFICIAL

Cast into murky waters, experiment with baits, watch your hold — sea creatures devour each other.

Trawler Upgrades OFFICIAL

Engine, propeller, hull reinforcement, fuel canister rack, spotlight, afterburner — build your vessel piece by piece.

Survival Crafting OFFICIAL

Scrap metal and forgotten blueprints from shipwrecks become specialized bait, reinforced harpoons, and rare medicines.

Real-Time Combat OFFICIAL

Mutated creatures on sea and land. Danger can turn a routine expedition into a desperate fight.

Trade & Settlements OFFICIAL

The more dangerous the prey, the higher the price from the mysterious traders of the Submerged Lands.

What To Expect At Launch

At launch this guide fills with real data: the full fish species database (dozens of rare and dangerous species are confirmed), a catch-value tracker, trawler upgrade costs, and bait recipes — all measured in-game, never invented.
