What if your desktop wallpaper featured a fishing cat? This quirky concept is brought to life in Fischer’s Fishing Journey.
In this delightful game, Fischer is a laid-back cat enjoying his time fishing while enhancing your desktop experience. The game features unique backgrounds that change with the time of day as Fischer travels around, meeting other fishing enthusiasts.

As you collect various fish, you can cash them in for upgrades to improve Fischer’s fishing gear and unlock new fishing locations. This game perfectly combines aesthetics with idle gameplay, making it a true standout among desktop pet games.

You can check out Fischer’s Fishing Journey on Steam for just $8.

“Desktop pets are so back, baby,” said PC Gamer’s Lauren Morton earlier this year. “I’m enamored with this crop of virtual pet idlers for being so quintessentially PC.”

I personally appreciate that Fischer acts as both a desktop wallpaper and a virtual pet, making it an ideal addition to any gaming setup.
