Desktop Fishing Release Date
Family Friendly Gaming News
Berlin, Germany – May 14, in the year of our Lord 2025
– Indie studio Ostend Games has announced the official release
date for its debut title Desktop Fishing, a charming and
relaxing desktop idle game where a frog companion fishes while
you work. The game will launch for PC (Windows) on June 17,
2025, with a major demo update now live on steam.
Originally started as a side project, Desktop Fishing quickly
grew into a full-featured experience following strong community
interest. Over the past six months, Ostend Games – a
Berlin-based game development co-operative founded by four
friends who met during their game design studies – has expanded
the project into a polished and content-rich game.
In Desktop Fishing, players are accompanied by a frog who
quietly sits on the edge of their screen, casting lines and
catching fish throughout the day. The fish earn in-game
currency, which can be used to unlock customization items.
Players can take on quests, level up, explore new regions, and
discover a wide variety of fish – all while continuing with
their everyday PC activities.
Key Features:
A gentle, ambient idle game designed to fit seamlessly into your
workflow
Rich customization options for your frog and fishing setup
Hand-painted 2D visuals with a distinctive, charming aesthetic
Twitch integration for streamers to engage with their chat in
real time
Opt-in gameplay: reel in fish instantly whenever you like, or
let the frog fish passively – you'll never miss a catch
“It was really important to us to preserve the relaxing nature
of fishing,” says developer Hagen from Ostend Games. “We didn’t
want the game to distract from what players are actually doing
on their PC – but rather to offer a sense of calm and subtle
progression when they're looking for a break.”
