About FakeFish:
We are in the business of fun, but it's a serious job. We're committed to delivering memorable experiences to our players and continuing to develop our games, always striving for moddability, streamability, and our own unique look and feel.
FakeFish was born when five university friends decided to go to a startup accelerator one summer. It was incredibly fun and we ended up winning the whole thing, and to this day, we're grateful for the experience and all the valuable lessons it taught us...
But even then, what followed was not all roses, but many years of trying, failing, learning, and trying again. We feel very fortunate to have come this far and still have our heads above surface, and we look forward to the road ahead!
