Scale the Depths Catches a May 28th Release Date - This New Fishing Hit Has Players Hooked!
It's the catch of the season! 210.000 demo players already took the bait, and now it's ready to reel in more!
Calgary & Warsaw, May 7, 2026- A tiny game jam project about scaling fish has somehow become one of Steam’s weirdest upcoming indie success stories: over 210,000 demo players, 97% positive ratings, close to 115,000 wishlists, millions of YouTube views, and even a wave of AI-made knockoffs. Now, Canadian team Glass Gecko Games and publisher Pretty Soon are bringing Scale the Depths to Steam on May 28th, 2026.
Built around a very simple yet dangerously sticky loop, fish → scale → serve → upgrade → go deeper → repeat, Scale the Depths puts players in the role of a tiny fishmonger robot trying to keep a growing line of hungry, demanding, and quite unexpected customers satisfied.
What starts as a supposedly simple fishing job quickly becomes a game of precision, optimization, exploration, and just one more run decision-making. Players catch fish using careful movement, prepare them through scaling and cutting mechanics, then serve them to customers to earn money, unlock better tools, and dive into deeper, stranger waters.
The full release expands significantly on the jam version and demo, adding new locations, more fish, deeper progression, hidden underwater secrets, customization, collectibles, and more lore than anyone reasonably expects from a game about preparing fish.
