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.

  • See your friends' catches 

  • Send emotes to celebrate or silently judge

  • Minimal interface, low pressure, cosy vibes

Catch Weird Stuff, Unlock Weird Stuff

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.
