About Rift Fishing
Rift Fishing is an indie multiplayer game where you fish through interdimensional rifts to collect creatures and artifacts. Developed by Glimmerloft, it launched on June 30, 2026, for PC. The game blends casual fishing with social interaction, letting you chat in real time while exploring surreal worlds. You can play solo or with others, painting murals, jamming at campfires, or trading loot. The vibe is laid-back but quirky, leaning into cozy multiplayer vibes with a sci-fi twist. If you’ve ever wanted to cast a line into a portal to the moon and chat about it with strangers, this is your jam.
Gameplay
You spend most of your time casting a line into floating rifts that shift between dreamlike settings, crystalline forests, neon deserts, etc. Catching fish requires timing the pull, but the real action happens when you reel in artifacts or trigger world events. Multiplayer lets you join or host chatrooms, where you can paint murals together or swap stories by the fire. Co-op modes let you combine resources to unlock deeper rifts. Controls are simple: mouse-driven casting and quick-time reactions for reeling. Sessions are short and repetitive, but the social features keep things fresh. You’ll likely spend more time chatting than fishing.
What Players Think
Rift Fishing has a 8.6/10 community rating, with critics averaging 78%. Players spend 4.2 hours on average, and 37% complete the game. Mood tags are 58% chill, 32% fun, and 10% relaxing. Many praise the multiplayer, with one calling it “the best chill co-op I’ve found since Stardew.” But some gripe about bugs in the chat system, “constant disconnects,” one wrote. Artifacts are criticized as underwhelming: “feel tacked on.” Completion rates are low, suggesting the game struggles to hold attention beyond early curiosity.
PlayPile's Take
Rift Fishing is best for players who enjoy low-stakes multiplayer hangouts more than deep mechanics. At $19.99 and 102 achievements, it’s a budget-friendly experiment. The chat features and rift visuals are charming, but bugs and a shallow core loop limit its appeal. If you’re into casual co-op and don’t mind its quirks, give it a shot. Otherwise, it’s a missed opportunity.
