Demo v2 is out! 60 quests, music, full rebalance (fresh start) 0.41.1 July 2, 2026
Demo v2 is out. It replaces the old v0.32 build from October, and it's the same build as the new Steam demo.
v2 is a ground-up rework of the first demo, based on the feedback you left on v1. The balance was redone start to finish and the demo is about twice as long. Everyone starts fresh in v2. Old saves wouldn't fit the new balance, and I'm not sure they'd even load.
What's new:
- The demo used to end at quest 31. It now goes to quest 60 and has an actual ending.
- The economy got several full balance passes. Upgrades and quest requirements were all retuned.
- The game has music now.
- Settings got rebuilt: number notation options, audio controls, and a fullscreen toggle that works in the browser.
- You can export and import your save from Settings, handy for backing up a run or moving it between devices.
- You can favorite entries in the collection.
- Lots of smaller fixes: performance work, layout at small window sizes, save reliability, new achievement icons, complete UI revamp in every tab.
The full game is in development, with 100+ quests, lots more mechanics, and the rest of the story. If you want to support it, wishlisting on Steam helps a lot: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4149840/Backrooms_Fishing_Demo/
Happy Fishing!

developer response: I don't see what my thumbnail and that one have in common to be honest
the v2 of the demo is out solving the spacebar troubles, thanks for playing!
developer response: not really intended to be played on mobile to be honest, sorry!
the mechanic is gone now with the v2, but I don't think the app is particularly responsive for now
developer response: absolutely fair, I got that a lot on steam as well, I have made lots of improvements with the new version, let me know how it runs for you!

I feel like this should be communicated better, because without that context it just seems like the game is forcing you to do this in order to continue.
