In its latest trailer, About Fishing—a game developed by The Water Museum, the studio behind Arctic Eggs—offers another glimpse into its unusual blend of gameplay elements. Combining fishing mechanics with mysterious and horror-themed undertones, the trailer hints at a game that defies easy categorization, but one thing is clear: it is, as the name suggests, definitely about fishing.

The trailer was accompanied by the launch of the game's Playtest 2.0, now available on Steam, offering PC users a chance to experience the title before its official release. About Fishing is confirmed to be coming to PC and PlayStation 5 (PS5), giving players across both platforms the opportunity to dive into its hybrid world of fishing and suspense.

Fishing Meets Mystery

While exact gameplay details remain sparse, the developer appears to be leaning into the unusual combination of fishing and horror elements. According to the game's description, its identity shifts depending on how you view it. You could call it a fishing game with mysterious horror-ish features—or a mystery horror game with fishing as its core mechanic. Either way, the gameplay looks set to offer a unique and eccentric take on the genre. Fans of either fishing games or unsettling narratives may find themselves intrigued by About Fishing’s bold approach to blending these disparate elements.

Steam Playtest 2.0

Those eager to get hands-on with About Fishing can now join Playtest 2.0 on Steam. Playtests are often a key opportunity for developers to gather player feedback and refine the mechanics before launch. This iteration likely introduces improvements and expanded features based on prior player input, though the precise updates have not been detailed.

Platforms and Availability

About Fishing is confirmed for both PC and PlayStation 5 platforms—indicating that the game is aiming to capture a broad audience of both console and PC players. While a specific release date has not been provided, the Steam Playtest suggests the title is progressing steadily toward completion.

Developer Background

The Water Museum, the studio behind About Fishing, has previously developed Arctic Eggs, which may offer clues about their design sensibilities. Known for creating games that mix familiar mechanics with unexpected twists, the studio is likely approaching About Fishing with the same inventive mindset.

What’s Next?

With its innovative premise, About Fishing has the potential to become a standout title for players seeking something truly different. The trailer and playtest provide an initial look at what’s on offer, but many questions about the game’s full scope and story remain unanswered. Will it lean more into its fishing roots, or will the mysterious horror elements dominate the experience? For now, the Playtest 2.0 is the best way for curious players to explore this world of fishing and suspense firsthand.
