À propos

It's after hours at the municipal baths. The lights are still on, the water is still warm, and the attendant is still at his counter, weighing whatever you pull out of the pools. He insists it's all fish.

fishrooms is a slow, unsettling fishing game set in an empty indoor swimming complex, lit and rendered like a PS2-era game. Cast into the pools, sell your catch for tokens, and buy admission to the rooms further in: warmer, darker, and less sure of what they're for.

What's inside

  • New: land it like an arcade cabinet. Hooking a fish starts a game of Stacker. Stop each row of lamps on the one below; whatever hangs over falls away, and every row runs faster. At the LANDED line, take your fish, or keep stacking to the TROPHY line for twice the value and a bigger fish, and lose it if you slip. Perfect rows add to the catch, and rarer fish need taller, faster stacks.
  • New: every fish rebuilt. All 37 specimens are new models, each based on a real animal (a common carp, a moray, a lungfish, a mola, a John Dory, an axolotl the attendant still calls a fish), with photographic skins that look wet when you hold them up.
  • Every catch is a crate. Whatever you hook comes out of the water as a plain fish under a broadcast mosaic. Then a reel of cards spins past a marker, slows to a crawl, and stops on what you actually caught: pale for common, blue for unusual, violet for rare, red for impossible. The gold card is something else entirely. Species you've never caught are a dark "?" until the reel lands on one.
  • Six baths. The Municipal baths, the Therapy pool, the Service bath, the Night laundry, the Winter garden and the Last platform, each with six species of its own.
  • 37 specimens. A keyhole bream with something looking through from the other side, a receipt eel whose total is always one more than you have, a sole that has been watching the same door since 1998. Everything you catch is kept in your fish album as a model you can turn over.
  • People who stayed after closing. The attendant, lifeguard, waiting woman, laundress and porter have new faces, clothes and poses. The regulars remember what you asked them. Commissions pay for particular catches, some of them settled in person.
  • Something remembered. Some catches carry more than their weight. Listen closely in the catch bag, and see what the baths remember. The clue remains with you after the fish is gone.
  • The sitting room. Its glass doors open for 10 memories from a Return, and stay open for good. A television watches the other baths on closed-circuit cameras and finds the one where the water has started to move. The room's own pool fishes whichever bath is on screen. There's a specimen tank, and a sofa if you need to close your eyes for a minute.
  • Tackle and progress. Seven rods; reel, line, bait and bag upgrades that steady or shorten the stack; a collection bonus for each bath; and the Return, which starts a new visit with memories that make every later one easier.
  • Something else in the water. One catch doesn't belong to any pool. Quiet mode removes its scare, but not the fish.

Play together

Fish alone, or open the baths to up to eight anglers. The water is kinder with company: every other angler makes everyone's catches worth 10% more, with sooner bites, steadier rows and rarer fish. Press Enter to chat, and hold Tab to see who's here, where they are and what they've caught. Everyone keeps their own bag, tokens and admissions, so a door someone else has paid for stays shut for you. Global leaderboards for fish caught, album entries and the best single catch are on the title screen and in the pause menu.

Controls

  • WASD walk · Shift sprint · Mouse look
  • Left mouse: cast, strike, stop a row, keep stacking, hurry the reel · Right mouse: take the fish at the LANDED line, take your line back
  • E interact · J fish album · Tab catch bag (hold for the scoreboard with company) · Enter chat · Esc pause, travel, equipment, leaderboards, settings, back to the title, quit

Presentation

Lit the way PS2 games were: light baked into the geometry from the actual lamps, per-vertex fog, alpha-blended water with low-resolution reflections, and a 448-line console output you can turn off in the pause menu. Progress saves automatically.

Mises à jour

6 mises à jour
Fish roulette Casino door - a casino behind the side-room door, unlocked permanently for 20 memories 7 modifications

Added

  • Casino door - a casino behind the side-room door, unlocked permanently for 20 memories
  • Fish roulette - take an overhead view of the actual table and place several fish from your catch bag as bets
  • Wheel and ball - watch the wheel and ball spin on the table

Improved

  • Table orientation - the table faces the entrance, with its labels upright
  • Bet selection - fish already placed on the table leave the available choices, and the next fish is selected automatically
  • Changing bets - removing a fish or clearing unconfirmed bets makes those fish available again

Fixed

  • Interrupted rounds - added safeguards for interrupted rounds and against duplicate payouts
New faces and things remembered Something remembered - some catches carry a recording. Listen in the catch bag and follow what the baths remember 14 modifications

Added

  • Something remembered - some catches carry a recording. Listen in the catch bag and follow what the baths remember
  • A room off the baths - a new space to discover, with a door and a chair you can move. Once opened, it stays open through later visits
  • Recording captions - the words stay readable below a long catch bag, and a heard clue remains after the fish is sold

Improved

  • Five new figures - new models for the attendant, lifeguard, waiting woman, laundress and porter, with their original detail and texture maps
  • Original textures - the figures keep all fifteen original 2048 by 2048 maps under the baths' lighting
  • Seated hair - the waiting woman's full hair geometry is retained, fitted around her bench and clear of the floor
  • The porter's case - stands beside his shoes, matching his open handed pose

Fixed

  • Interrupted reels - Continue resumes the same concealed catch and reel, with discovery and collection rewards paid once when it is revealed
  • Failed saves - a catch stays concealed and retries if its reveal cannot be saved. Leaving with a never saved catch gives an extra warning before quitting
  • Wall casts - casts cannot reach a pool through a solid wall
  • Specimen tank - can no longer be used through the sitting room's locked wall
  • Admission gates - stop the player near their visible faces
  • Admission requests - gates and directories open the relevant admission item and explain when it cannot yet be bought
  • Sofa rest - pauses behind menus, grants its steadier casts once, and cancels an unfinished rest when returning to the title
The stack, new fish and the ways out The stack - landing a fish is now a game of Stacker. Stop each row of lamps on the one below; whatever hangs over falls away, and every row runs faster 19 modifications

Added

  • The stack - landing a fish is now a game of Stacker. Stop each row of lamps on the one below; whatever hangs over falls away, and every row runs faster
  • The LANDED line - take your fish there with right mouse, or keep stacking with left mouse
  • The TROPHY line - three rows higher, for twice the value and a bigger fish. Slip above the LANDED line and the fish is gone
  • Perfect rows - a row stopped exactly on the one below adds 5% to the catch, up to 50%
  • Harder fish - rarer fish and the deeper baths need taller, faster stacks, and the rarest narrow the rows themselves
  • Back to the title screen - from the pause menu. In company it leaves the session first, and the baths pass to another angler
  • Quit - on the title screen and in the pause menu. It asks once before closing the game
  • Settings - picture, sound and controls on a page of their own, from the title screen or the pause menu
  • Glass doors - the sitting room opens for 10 memories from a Return, and stays open for good, through every later Return

Improved

  • New fish - all 37 species are new models, each based on a real animal: a common carp, a bream, a perch, an eel, a moray, a lungfish, a wels catfish, an oarfish, a mola, a John Dory, rays, soles, and an axolotl the attendant still insists is a fish
  • Photographic skins - every fish wears real scales or skin at its own scale size, under its own colours and markings, and looks wet, catching the light scale by scale
  • Swimming - fish bend as they swim, beat their fins and thrash on the line. The pools and the specimen tank hold the same fish you catch
  • The Screamfish - its jaw hangs open now
  • Line, rods and rhythm - steady the stack's rows instead of widening the old timing band. Reel tuning and some rods take rows off the stack
  • Company bonus - every other angler now steadies everyone's rows a little, instead of widening the timing band
  • Scoreboard - the best catch shows as a catch, with its grade and value, so a fish's name no longer reads like another angler's

Fixed

  • Doorways - the gaps beside the gates between the baths, where you could see into the next room, are closed
  • Scoreboard spoilers - the scoreboard named another angler's catch before their reel had stopped

Removed

  • The timing band - pulling inside a moving band is gone. The stack replaces it

New lighting, painted people, conversations and a 3D fish album 3D specimens - every species you have caught turns as its own model in the fish album, lit in a small studio of its own. Species you haven't caught stay a dark "?" 30 modifications

Added

  • 3D specimens - every species you have caught turns as its own model in the fish album, lit in a small studio of its own. Species you haven't caught stay a dark "?"
  • Turning the model - W and S step through the album and the list follows; A and D turn the model
  • Television - the television watches every bath you have paid for through closed-circuit cameras and finds the one where the water has started to move
  • The room's pool - a cast in the sitting room fishes whichever bath is on the television, moving water included, and the first bath's when there is no signal
  • Specimen tank - keeps a few of the rarest species you have recorded, and opens the album
  • Sofa - rest there for eight steadier casts
  • Moving water - now and then one bath's water starts to move, with quicker bites and stranger fish
  • Passing remarks - people speak as you pass and when you leave
  • Commissions in person - a commission is settled with the person who asked for it
  • Modelled furniture - a clock, the counter's scale, a television, benches, lockers, changing stalls, the counter and its ledger

Improved

  • PS2 lighting - light is baked into the baths from their actual lamps, with shadows, darker corners, light bounced off the floor and the glow of the pools. Anything that moves is lit by the same lamps, and fog gathers with distance
  • Lamps - the strip lights glow softly
  • Water - clearer water over a lit pool floor, with low-resolution reflections, moving caustics, and fish swimming below the surface with their shadows on the floor
  • Float - a turned pencil float that rides in the water
  • Catches - a catch hangs from the line under the raised rod
  • Painted people - the attendant, the lifeguard, the waiting woman, the laundress and the porter are posed, painted figures with real eyes instead of the old blob people
  • Conversations - people greet you according to how far you have come, questions open up as you hear them and are remembered, and replies are typed out in a voice of their own. The camera turns to whoever is speaking
  • Bait and tackle - E at the attendant's counter opens bait & tackle straight away, headed by one remark from him
  • Casting - the rod turns from the elbow, so casting and striking swing your forearm with it
  • Reeling - the other hand pinches the crank knob, and the crank turns on an axle out of the reel
  • Sleeves - both arms wear jacket sleeves
  • Signs - painted enamel signs mounted flush on the walls replace the floating text
  • Human scale - your eye is higher, level with the people, and doors, furniture and fittings are a consistent size in every bath
  • Other anglers - appear as painted figures holding their rods, with the same float as yours
  • HUD - larger text

Fixed

  • Fishing hand - the hand now closes around the rod, instead of an open, relaxed hand held clear of it
  • Fins - dorsal and anal fins no longer lose their trailing edge
  • Flickering - surfaces that flickered where they overlapped, at the pool corners, along the corridor ceilings and on the lane marks, no longer do
  • Floating fittings - lamps, showers, gauges, boards, pipes and windows sit on their walls and ceilings instead of floating off them
  • Drain grates - the shimmering rows of tiny black boxes along the pool edges are proper drain grates
Every catch is a crate Crates - every catch comes out of the water as a plain fish under a broadcast mosaic, then a reel of cards spins past a marker, ticks, slows and stops on what you actually caught 13 modifications

Added

  • Crates - every catch comes out of the water as a plain fish under a broadcast mosaic, then a reel of cards spins past a marker, ticks, slows and stops on what you actually caught
  • Card grades - pale for common, blue for unusual, violet for rare and red for impossible. The gold card is something else entirely
  • Unrecorded species - a fish you have never caught is a dark "?" card on the reel; the ones in your album show their own model
  • Hurry the reel - click while it spins to bring it to a stop sooner
  • Chat - press Enter to talk. The feed also says who has come in, who has gone home and when anyone lands something rare
  • Scoreboard - hold Tab with company to see who is here, which room they are in and what they have caught this session
  • Company bonus - every other angler makes everyone's catches worth 10% more, with sooner bites, a wider timing band and more rare fish
  • Shared crates - other anglers' catches come up under the mosaic too, until their reel stops
  • The regulars - global boards for fish caught, album entries and the best single catch, on the title screen and in the pause menu

Improved

  • Waves - larger waves and a quicker drift on every pool, and the float rides them
  • Doors - a door you haven't paid for tells you how many anglers are already through it; each angler still pays their own admission

Fixed

  • Still water - the pools, their caustics and the television's static had stopped moving after an engine update. They move again

Removed

  • Old progress - everyone's progress has been reset once for this update, and every angler starts again in the Municipal baths. Volume, quiet mode and the console output setting carry over
Multiplayer baths Six baths - the Municipal baths, the Therapy pool, the Service bath, the Night laundry, the Winter garden and the Last platform 19 modifications

  • People - the attendant, the lifeguard, the waiting woman, the laundress and the porter, each with things to talk about. The waiting woman has a request

  • 37 fish - six species in each bath, with weight records and notes in the fish album
  • Something else - one catch doesn't belong to any bath. Quiet mode removes its scare, but not the fish
  • Selling - sell your catch at the attendant's counter for tokens

  • Upgrades - eight levels each of reel, line and bait, and six of bag space

  • Collections - a bonus for finding all six of a bath's fish in one visit
  • The Return - open all six baths and land six fish at the Last platform to start a new visit, keeping memories that buy permanent bonuses
  • Multiplayer baths - open the baths to up to eight anglers, who join through s&box or Steam and see each other walk, cast, reel and show their catches
  • Your own visit - every angler keeps their own fish, tokens, tackle, admissions and save, and nobody's menu pauses anyone else
  • Host handoff - the visit carries on with another angler when the host leaves
  • Console look - cold photographic textures, silver and cobalt water, darkness falling away with distance and a stable 448-line picture
  • Sound - synthesized room tone, splashes, tackle sounds and the occasional distant disturbance
