Description

Quote this directly. No approval needed.

Pier Pals is a cozy idle fishing game that sits in the corner of your desktop while you work, study or browse. Your angler fishes on their own. Check in when you want a break: see your catches, fill out your journal, buy a new hat. Share your pier with up to three others, friends or strangers.

Features

  • 01Fully idle fishing. The angler fishes on their own in a corner window while you work, study or play. No clicking, no timing minigame, no fail state
  • 02Check in when you want to. Sell your catches, track journal progress, buy gear and cosmetics. The game waits for you rather than the other way round
  • 03Small, always-on-top, draggable and resizable. Park it on either side of the screen and the scene mirrors itself to match
  • 04Four-player shared piers over Steam P2P. Host your own, join a friend, or drop into a public pier. Fish alongside each other, chat and emote, and fishing together pays a bonus
  • 05A journal to fill: fish, bugs, crops, treasures and junk across a range of rarity tiers, each with its own weight and grade, with sets to complete
  • 06Hats, hair, glasses, outfits, shoes, pets and rides, all bought with in-game currency
  • 07Steam achievements and Steam Cloud saves

Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play.

Development history

Pier Pals is in Early Access. The whole loop is in and playable right now: idle fishing, collecting, FP, cosmetics, shared piers.

Early Access is there so the game can grow around the people who actually play it. We are not announcing a roadmap or an end date, and nothing here should be read as a commitment to specific future content.
