About the Game
Cast n Chill's a laid-back fishin’ game for folks who’d rather wet a line than break a sweat. Whether yer driftin’ on a lazy lake, pokin’ 'round a winding river, or droppin’ lines in salty blue water, this here’s a game where you set the pace.
Upgrade Yer Gear
Start with the basics, catch whatever bites, sell your haul, and put those coins toward better rods, reels, and upgrades. Before ya know it, you’ll be wranglin’ rare species that’d make any angler green with envy.

Explore New Waters
Find yer favourite fishin’ hole or keep wanderin’. There’s 15 peaceful spots to discover, each with its own critters swimmin’ 'round, just waitin’ to bite.

Pick Your Pace
In Active Mode, you’re in the thick of it - castin’, reelin’, and keepin’ busy like a loon at nesting time.
Switch to Passive Mode if you’d rather let the game do the work while you’re off choppin’ wood.
Set it up on a second monitor or tuck it in the corner - come back later and see what kind o’ haul the fish gods left ya.
Collect 'Em All
There’s 50+ fish to discover - some you’ll recognize, some you’ll squint at and go “what in the heck is that?” From scrappy little sunfish to big ol’ deepwater beasts, they’re all in the logbook waitin’ for your name.

Legendary Catches
There’s 13 fish out there that still get folks jabberin’ at ol' Rusty's bait shop like they saw Bigfoot ride a moose. Land one, and you'll be part o' the legend.
Boat Buddies
A day on the water’s better with company. Bring along a trusty companion. They might not know a spinnerbait from a spoon, but they’ll help you spot a fish - if only 'cause they’re hopin’ for a bite themselves.

Howdy folks, and thanks for playing! Since launch, we’ve been reading your feedback and working hard on an update focused on refining the fish fighting mechanics and adding some fun new features.
🎣 Fish Fighting Improvements
You can now let your line go slack and see it with clear visual cues to help you manage tension and avoid over-pulling.

We’ve also added the ability to steer and guide the fish slightly when pulling at just the right time and improved bubble particles to let you know when the fish is thrashing easier.
🐟 Smarter Fish Behaviour
Fish no longer sprint endlessly in one direction or head butt the lakebed. Their movement is now more natural and satisfying.
🧍 New Angler Animations
We’ve added some lovely new animations to bring your angler to life with more personality.

⚙️ Idle Mode Enhancements
You can now tweak Idle Mode to limit what can be caught passively.
And introducing Screensaver Mode – no progression, no sales, no achievements. Just relax and enjoy the scenery.
🐶 New Pupper Option
There’s a new good doggo to choose from: a loyal German Shepherd companion.
