Hotfix 1.1.4.2
Fixed issue with some Run data being persistent between runs instead of resetting.
'Don't Sleep With The Fishes' has sold more than 20,000 copies!
I am sincerely grateful for this milestone, a number I could never have predicted before launching the Steam version of the game. Thanks to your incredible support, I was able to get Steam Trading Cards approved, and you can start collecting them today!
I believe the game is in a very satisfying place right now, but I want to release Version 1.1.4 to add some meaningful, highly requested additions and changes.
I’ve read ALL your reviews, so I have a great starting ground!
RNG Tweaks: Adjustments to the RNG to give you a bit more control over reaching "Saved" endings, rather than relying too much on luck.
Resource Options: Extra choices and ways to gather food.
Encounters: A few more Night Events to mix things up.
Quality of Life Settings: Inverted Mouse Y-axis, an option to disable head-bob.
If the game were to receive a major content update in the future, which of these would you want to see most?
More endings (Each shipmate could have an ending or grant new ways to achieve existing ones).
OR New gameplay modes (e.g., an Endless Survival Mode where you just try to stay alive as long as possible, maybe with extra challenges).
Thank you all again so much for playing the game, sharing screenshots (yes, I saw the drawings on the papers...!), and just having fun.
See you again soon!

Don't Sleep With The Fishes is now available on Steam!
Thank you, everyone, for wishlisting the game.
We launched at around ~48,000 wishlists! This is a number I never could have expected, and I'm very grateful for the interest in the game's Steam version.
With that said, the game's launch version will be 1.1.3, which updates the base game with some small tweaks and fixes.
Junk fishing on days after Day 30 will now increase less rapidly, with Bait remaining at its default effectiveness until Day 60.
Increased First Aid Kit healing effectiveness. (50% to 70%)
When Shipmates are Hungry or Sick enough, they will have a small visual change on their character textures.
Fast-Forward in Settings: Enabling this will allow you to hold the 'F' key to fast-forward time during the beginning animations of Night Events. (Recommended for people who have played the game a few times already and do not want to wait out the animations before making an Item choice.)
The 'Small Island' night event will now have an option that allows you to send your shipmate instead of yourself! (If you brought one).
Frederik no longer smokes the air when his pipe has already been stolen.
Other small bug fixes.
Typo/grammar fixes.
