Webfishing (stylized in all caps as WEBFISHING) is a social fishing video game created by indie developer lamedeveloper. Originally released on itch.io in 2022 as part of Goodgis' Autumn Game Jam,[2] the game was remade for its Steam release[3] on October 12, 2024.[1] The game is described as a "multiplayer chatroom-focused fishing game" by its developer.[4]

In Webfishing, players control an animal avatar in a 3D world to catch different types of fish. Catching fish earns the player cash, either by completing quests or selling the fish, which can be used to upgrade fishing gear or buy items used to customize the avatar.[3]

The game has been favorably compared to the Animal Crossing series.[3][5] By the first week of its Steam release, it had received "overwhelmingly positive" reviews.[1]
