About This Game

Open Fishing XL is an open world fishing game focused on creating a relaxing experience. Fill out a book with all of the 115 fish species, explore the large map, manage your cash to buy bait and gear, cook the fish you catch, and far more features planned in early access updates.

I’ve tried to make an intuitive fishing system that anyone can understand. Simply pick some bait, throw out your line and make sure the fish doesn’t get away! The fish will give a good fight depending on it’s size so come prepared with a variety of rods or use a weak rod on purpose to add some challenge.

The open world I’ve created for Open Fishing XL feels alive with birds, bugs and of course fish. With several regions and dozens of smaller areas within those all containing different fish it will take some exploration to catch them all.

Every fish has their own tastes so you’ll have to experiment to see what each fish likes. Bait can be bought from a vendor who can be found throughout the island. So look around for any places he might be hiding in.

The book will teach you how to fish and let you record your progress. it shows what fish you’ve caught, helps you remember what fish like which bait and where you caught them in the past. It also give information about each species like where it’s name came from or what makes it special in some other way.

All that I’ve mentioned so far is what is in the game now. I am, however, planning much more. In my devlogs I discuss what new features I have in mind and give you a glimpse into the development. I also am excited to work with the players to add new features and improve current ones.
