Voodoo Fishin'
Voodoo Fishin': Fishing with friends while a haunted swamp threatens your catch and equipment.
What Voodoo Fishin' is
You fish in a haunted bayou as a customisable puppet, alone or with up to five friends. Voodoo Fishin’ mixes proximity voice chat and shared fishing goals with creatures that would rather have you for dinner. A relaxing afternoon, subject to the swamp’s approval.
Selling fish fills a shared Dock Quota and unlocks upgrades for your crew. You can change rods, reels and bait, chase bounties, or take daily jobs from locals who move around the map. Version 1.0 adds 37 missions, including timed catches, scavenger hunts and deliveries; getting home alive still matters because death takes your haul and equipped tackle.
Lost Arcade describes itself as a three-person team in its official launch post. Version 1.0 launched on 13 October 2026, following Early Access from 31 March. Steam lists Windows and a separate demo with restricted exploration and higher-tier tackle. The full release is already available; this is not a new Early Access launch.
