Pocketpair Publishing Signs Retro Horror Fishing Game 'Normal Fishing' for Steam

Pocketpair positions the once-itch.io demo for a fuller Steam release, with the launch timing still to come.

Overview

  • Pocketpair Publishing will release The Bworg’s Normal Fishing on PC via Steam, with no release date announced.
  • A new trailer and Steam page highlight a sepia, retro handheld aesthetic that undercuts a seemingly cozy fishing premise.
  • Screens and footage signal a horror focus with unsettling figures and large boss encounters, including a giant crab-like creature.
  • Players fish through frantic minigames to complete a 20-creature collection, earn money, explore the lake, and protect a remote village.
  • Marketing leans on ironic warnings such as “Don’t touch the water!” and the original itch.io demo remains available as the Steam version opens for wishlisting.
