FISH FEAR ME Patch Notes — September 19, 2025
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Ahoy, cosmic debtors! Welcome once more to that most beautiful of holidays: FISH FEAR ME Friday!
Next week is going to be incredibly chaotic. And exciting for y'all! Mostly chaotic for me. ALL of the following events are happening on Thursday, September 25th:
The WOMEN WANT ME Expansion
It's finally happening! The FREE major content expansion to FISH FEAR ME, featuring:
A whole new region (The Lake of the Lady)
75+ new fish
Five new meta upgrades
New animated cutscenes by Gwyndolyn Marchant (check out that sword animation up there!)
Four new boats
Ten new weapons
A new song (with two variants!)
A bunch of new game mechanics
Tons of new achievements
A whole new final boss fight
If that sounds like a lot: that's because it is! We've put a ton of time and effort into this expansion over the last few months, and it's been a joy to watch it pay off. The Lake of the Lady will have something for players both new and old. I hope you all have fun!
Official FISH FEAR ME Soundtrack
That's right: the FISH FEAR ME OST is soon going to be available on Steam! This includes the new tracks from the expansion. Wishlist it now:
One of my favorite parts of working in games is getting to hear Josie Brechner's music. It's always a delight to behold, and the FISH FEAR ME soundtrack is no different! Check it out! Maybe buy it when it comes out! Josie is one of the most talented people in the industry IMO, and she absolutely outdid herself here.
Unfair Flips
This one's kind of a weird one! I had an idea for a tiny game while out for a walk one day, and I put it together in a few hours when I got home, and then I posted a couple videos of it. And now one of those videos has over a hundred thousand views.
Horrifying! Anyways, Unfair Flips is in the same universe as the rest of the GET RICH AND DIE TRYING series, and it has a similar tone, but it's very different mechanically from SNAKE FARM/FISH FEAR ME. Although people are threatening to mail snakes to my house because of this game. So maybe it's similar enough after all.
If this interests you at all, I'd ask that you give it a wishlist! Please play my horrible coin game.
It features pixel art by Gwyndolyn Marchant (who did the cutscene animations for FISH FEAR ME: WOMEN WANT ME!) and one (1) sound effect by Surasshu. You'll know it when you hear it.
A Secret Fourth Thing
What's this, you ask? All shall be revealed in time...
A Secret Fifth Thing
What's this, you ask? All shall be revealed in time...
My god. There is too much going on today! I thought it'd be fun to time two releases to the same day, but now in addition to those two things there are SEVERAL other things all happening at once. I'd apologize, but I'm the only one suffering here. It'll be fun for y'all!
That's it for this time! There is not a secret sixth thing, unless I've forgotten something massive. I've had covid the past few weeks (literally on day nineteen of quarantine right now -- it just will not go away!) and it's been "fun" watching this turbo combo of deadlines rush up while I've been tied to the train tracks. Fortunately I'm starting to feel better, and I feel confident in my ability to finish everything up in time!
Question of the Day
What do YOU think those secret Fourth and Fifth Things are?
Happy fishing,
