Fish Them All! has a free demo on Steam, offering the opening of the full game on Windows and macOS. The team announced its availability on 19 October 2026, with an estimated playing time of 30 to 40 minutes.
To download it, open the game's Steam page and select “Download Demo”. This is the download route provided by the team in its announcement.
Fishing leads to upgrades, helpers and bigger catches
The progression revolves around fishing, earning money and improving skills to increase your catches. That gives the opening a goal beyond simply catching fish: developing your abilities feeds back into how much you can catch. The team presents the demo as the beginning of the full game, introducing that progression from the outset.
The team also describes unlockable divers who help with fishing, alongside explosions that capture entire schools of fish. These mechanics give the progression different forms: skills improve your fishing abilities, divers provide assistance, and explosions let you catch fish in groups. Unlocking helpers adds a further objective to the basic fishing loop.
Together, those features put increasing catches at the centre of the game's progression. The distinction between improving skills and unlocking assistance matters: the announced loop includes both developing your own abilities and gaining help with fishing. Explosions add a way to capture schools of fish alongside those upgrades.
The estimated duration makes this a relatively short introduction. Allowing roughly half an hour or a little longer follows the team's guidance, but jeu.video has not independently measured that playing time. The estimate concerns the opening demo; it should not be read as a completion time for the full game.
Windows and macOS availability, with a Steam Deck test
In its 19 October announcement, the team lists Windows and macOS for the demo and says it has also tested it on Steam Deck. That handheld test is a developer report; it does not establish Valve's “Verified” certification or guarantee a particular level of performance. Players considering the handheld version should keep that distinction in mind: a reported test and a certification provide different information.
For Windows and macOS players, the demo offers a free introduction to the game's fishing and progression systems. Its practical appeal is the chance to try the opening before deciding whether to follow the full game, with the team's duration estimate providing a rough guide to the time involved.
