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.
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.
