About
Fishing for the corners of your day
Deskwaters is a small, charming fishing companion that lives in your desktop.
Bites happen on a realistic and organic schedule, weighted by time of day and weather. When a fish bites, you get a gentle chime and a window to react.
While you work, study, game or browse, the boat is always there, anchored at the bottom of your screen.
Cast a line between meetings. Get Deskwaters and bring a little water to your workday.
Features:
🎣 Always-on-top desktop companion. Lives in a tiny transparent window on your taskbar. Stays out of the way of
everything else.
🐟 A roster of hand-pixeled fish to discover. Common reef regulars, rare visitors, and the occasional legendary
catch. Every species has its own illustrated journal entry.
⏳ Patience as a mechanic. Bites happen on a slow, organic schedule minutes to hours apart.
🎯 A single, satisfying catch fight. Designed to be fun and engaging without removing your commitment from other tasks.
📓 Track your catches in a illustrated journal. Flavor text, star ratings, weights, timestamps.
🐠 A personal aquarium. Keep your catches swimming in a relaxing backdrop. Decorate the tank with treasures.
💰 A tiny Mermaid shop. Sell duplicates for coins, spend them on aquarium decor and other customizations.
🌅 Day, night, and weather. Synced to your system clock — what's biting at 2 PM isn't biting at midnight.
🔇 Background Ambience and SFX are designed to be relaxing and not distract you from your day to day.
🏆 Steam Achievements and Cloud Saves across machines.
🐚 Steam Presence and Stat tracking so your friends can see when you've hooked something good.

Reviews
Idle & Incremental Lovers warmly recommends Deskwaters: [i] Relaxing wave sounds and great look for the captain : magnificent beard, turtleneck sweater, pipe, hip flask... A fish takes the bait every 15-20 minutes, a great pace when doing other things. [/i] + I really like the pacing on this one, because it's really a dekstop companion you can use when working. You don't have to be active all the time, no FOMO, just relaxing waves and once in a while a small and short enjoyable distraction. Could nearly play the role of a reminder to stay hydrated (that's what I'd say to my boss if she catches me playing)! ;-) + The overlay is working great, and the UIs for sound and fisherman placement are perfect. + The fishing minigame is on the easy side, and actually pretty fun. + If you want to play the "Gotta catch them all!" game, there is a log to keep track of your cactches, and you can see them in your aquarium. + The aquarium is customizable with some items you can buy with the money you get by selling your fish. ===> Overall, I really enjoyed the experience of this non-invasive desktop companion and plan to continue fishing once in a while. *Why is the fisherman bad at boxing? Cause he only throws hooks* Found this review helpful?

The game looks nice at first glance, but the experience quickly falls apart. For starters, the fish you catch during the tutorial does not even show up in your tank or get listed in your journal. It feels like a pointless introduction. After finishing that tutorial, it sat there for an hour and did not get a single bite. The description mentions that bites happen on a "schedule minutes to hours apart" while also claiming the game is "Designed to be fun". I am really not sure what kind of fun you are supposed to get out of staring at a screen waiting hours for a single catch. To make matters worse, this is tagged as an idler, which is misleading. An idler implies that the game plays by itself and progresses while you do other things. Waiting around to manually click when a fish finally decides to bite is not an idle game. It is also frustrating that you cannot even toggle or hide the window when you need it out of the way. You are just stuck with it sitting there doing absolutely nothing. This is the worst idle fishing game I have ever played.
