From the same developers who made No Place Like Home and Fresh Start Cleaning Simulator comes Captain Pawsome! Instead of cleaning up the world, you play as a cat who captains a ship and fishes for a living. This 2D cozy game focuses on fishing, managing your own shop, and upgrading your ship. What’s better than sailing the high seas full of adventure and fish?
Start your sailing adventure by customizing your cat captain. Pick from several cat breeds, as well as fur patterns to create your purrfect captain. Then set sail across the beautiful open seas to fish for a variety of critters. Even take on the mission of cleaning up the debris and garbage from the ocean! And don’t forget to collect the resources you can find in the ocean. You’ll need those to upgrade your ship. Captain Pawsome also focuses on managing your own shop where you sell your fish for profit. There are even some intriguing townspeople to get to know!
This is a cozy game full of charm and adventure.
Release Date
Captain Pawsome is available now on Steam! There’s even a demo to try out before you buy.
Catch and Cook: Fishing Adventures is another fishing-focused game! There’s also DREDGE, a spooky fishing game.

Have you ever dreamed about running your own restaurant while still seeing the world? In Catch and Cook, you can do both! You’re a skilled fisherman who gets to explore a beautiful world full of exciting locales. Explore a variety of gorgeous areas like icy landscapes and whimsical islands. Even take a moment to watch the world under the waves teeming with life. Schools of fish swim around, sunken ships lay in the sands, and even discover treasure chests!
Catch a variety of fish through four different methods. Fish with a fishing rod, put out crab pots, throw a net, or even use a harpoon to catch different kinds of fish. In Catch and Cook, you’ll discover the different fishing methods as you explore, and overcome each area’s set of challenges. Once you’ve gathered your haul, combine them with ingredients you’ve purchased from the villages to create tasty recipes. Experiment with different ingredients to discover incredible new dishes.
Available Now
You can find Catch and Cook, the cute fishing adventure, now on Steam!
For another fishing-focused game, I can’t recommend DREDGE enough. It’s spooky, but not too spooky and has chill vibes all around.

If you haven’t taken a moment to check out Dredge, let alone play it, you really should. I have a review here that you can read, but it’s a spooky, cozy fishing adventure that really nails just about everything. You play as the captain of your very own fishing trawler as you explore a set of mysterious and remote islands, as well as the deep sea that surrounds them. Sell what you catch to the local markets, and spend your hard-earned money on boat upgrades that will allow you to carry more cargo, go faster, and fish deeper. While you’re at it, unravel the mystery surrounding the islands by talking to the inhabitants and completing missions. Just, be careful about being out at night. You might not enjoy what lurks in the darkness.
The Latest Update
Dredge has already released one paid DLC, called Blackstone Key, which gives players access to the locked workshop on Blackstone island, as well as a new engine option and talisman. However, the devs have recently released a new free update! This is actually their third free update, and this update includes some fun stuff, plus bug fixes.
This new update for Dredge now lets players customize their boat! After you acquire the dredge crane as part of the main quest line, you can head on over to Little Marrow where a new character has set up shop. The Painter will be able to make adjustments to the appearance of your boat. He starts with some basic options, but you’ll be able to unlock more as you discover paint ingredients. Dig through the different shipwrecks, including the new ones added with this update, to find different flags. You can then take those flags to The Painter to have them recolored and displayed on your boat. The Painter will also allow you to change the bunting that’s displayed (the little garland of triangle flags), including the color of it, too.
Previous Updates
The Painter being added is the biggest, and best part of this update. However, Dredge does now have crab aberrations, or crabberations as per the Steam update page. As well as a new filter to the Encyclopedia to display crabs, which brings me to the other two free updates. The first free update added map zoom and map pins, so you can set one of 50 markers in 6 different types on the map to have reminders for yourself. They can also be viewed through the Spyglass. The second free update added Photo Mode, so you can take pictures of the different creatures you come across. These include 10 new aberrations and 8 new types of wildlife, and now the crab aberrations! There’s also a Passive Mode, so you don’t have to worry about the things that lurk in the night for a more relaxing experience!
These are some great additions to an already great game. Plus, Dredge announced their next paid DLC, Ironhaven. This DLC will feature the mysterious Ironhaven Corporation who’s looking to establish a drilling operation in the area to revitalize the towns. Their ultimate goal, however, is unknown, and you may yet uncover it through meeting new characters and helping the company build its operation!Available Now
You can find Dredge on Steam, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox!

I’ve previously played the cute Everdream Valley, and written a review. At the time, the game was far from a finished product. It was pretty empty and had some other issues. Even as I wrote the review, the devs, Mooneaters, added some features that improved the quality of life of the game. And now, they’ve released a roadmap of new features they intend to work on implementing!
October Update
October brings a great update that includes fast travel! One of my chief complaints was how big the Everdream Valley map is, making adventuring a little tiresome because running everywhere was the only option. The developers have been listening, though, and fast travel is certainly an exciting new addition that will improve the game. The fun doesn’t stop there, though. You’ll get access to a new lawnmower tool that allows you to tidy up lawns and hedges. Which sounds like a great way to further decorate and personalize your farm. You’ll be getting new plants to decorate with too! Add some charm and vibrancy to your little farm with a riot of natural colors.
Then there’s my favorite part. A Halloween event! Get spooky with fun new items and decorations. Even get dressed up in costumes. I can’t wait for that. There’s nothing like making your home cozy with pumpkins and ghosts. Perhaps the best update, however, if the addition of multiplayer! That’s right, you and your friends will be able to team up to play Everdream Valley together. There’s no word now on how many people can play in multiplayer as the feature is currently in beta, but even just making it two players would be great.
Roadmap
As for the rest of the intended updates, here’s the list straight from Everdream Valley’s Steam page:

Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands is developed by Lemonbomb Entertainment and published by rokapublish. Make camp on an island and explore through many story-driven quests as we have just discovered we may not be alone here after-all.
You start off setting sail on an adventure to find new land. However, a storm hits and it leaves you shipwrecked on the Cursed Islands. As the child of the injured Captain you take charge of the crew! Your goal is to explore the Cursed Islands, unravel the mystery that lurks in the depths of the archipelago, and find tools to build a new ship and leave the Islands with your crew. There are several islands to explore and it is important to keep your energy up by cooking good meals. Therefore, you must do some farming and fishing, and discover new plants and seeds.
Delve into dark caves, cut through the thickets of tropical islands, or enter ancient temples. Below we get a new look at the story of Stranded Sails which seems to have our protagonist trying to grab treasure or an artifact but is interrupted by several ghost-pirates! There is indeed a curse on the island that we must uncover and fast!
The game has officially been postponed to Q4 2019 due to the creators wanting to implement all of the great feedback they received from beta testers. It should be well worth the wait with all of the hard work they are doing! You can still wishlist the game on Steam right here. We’ll keep you updated on any new information about this game. For now, while we wait, let’s appreciate their most adorable mascot below.
