Collector’s Cove by VoodooDuck sets you on a tranquil journey across the world. Set sail with your adorable animal companion as you discover a beautiful world full of treasures and secrets. This world is largely shaped by endless oceans, so you’ll spend most of your days at sea. However, you’re a Collector, and it’s your dream to rise to Named Collector by completing your Compendium. To do that, you must locate the uncharted islands of the world to see what goodies they have!
In order to complete your Compendium, you must collect fish, crops, and different treasures you find throughout your adventure. Each unique island in Collector’s Cove will present you with a chance to reel in an elusive fish or gather a rare type of crop, so don’t pass up on exploring! When you’re not wandering an island, spend your days in relative solitude with your companion on your boat. Grow the crops you find, craft useful items for your journey, and relax to the surrounding ocean waves. You can even decorate your boat with decorations to make it your very own!
Release Date
Collector’s Cove is coming to Steam, but has no release date listed. You can add it to your Wishlist, though!
Farmwand is another unique, charming farming sim that’s coming!

First came Rusty’s Retirement, a farming idle game that chills at the bottom of your screen while you do other things. Next comes Idle Waters! Only instead of being a farming game, this idler focuses on fishing! This game also sits comfortably at the bottom of your screen so you can focus on other tasks while it runs.
Idle Waters fishes while you’re busy doing other things. Simply click to catch the fish at your leisure. You’ll catch different types of fish from several different ecosystems, too. It looks like there’s at least 100 “common” fish varieties, which seems to indicate there are other rarities to catch! Plus, there’s a fish tank feature you can edit and decorate to observe the fish you’ve caught over time.
Release Date
Idle Waters will release on Steam at some point. There is no date listed, but you can add it to your Wishlist now!

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.
- Nov 8, 2023
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:
- Aug 24, 2023
The spirit of the forest has transferred you to the parallel dimension of Firefly Cove. You’re warmly welcomed by the citizens of this magical town where whispers of a legend come true. Some legends say there is one powerful enough to restore the balance of nature spirits, become a dragon kin, and uncover the secrets of the dragon ruins. Will that be you? Can you learn magic, become a great magician, and make this mysterious place your home?
Hotaru Village is where you find your new home in Firefly Cove. There, you can befriend the villagers and learn the stories. You can even go on adventures with them. Take part in seasonal village celebrations throughout the year like Dance of the fireflies, too. Develop different skills like farming, foraging, mining, magic and more. Even hone your magical abilities like water-bending, and show those skills off to the Dragon Temple.
Firefly Cove is even co-op! Team up in multiplayer mode to restore balance to nature spirits with your friends. Cross-play and split-screen are both available.
Coming Soon
Firefly Cove is coming soon. You can find it on Steam, where you can add it to your Wishlist!
