The demo is here!

Our 6 months of work and playtesting has all built up to this moment, and now everyone can play the demo! Explore 5 different fishing zones, 36+ fish, tons of upgrades, research, and more!

This launch also comes alongside a new update, v0.4.2.0, which includes a ton of new QOL, rebalancing, and fixes.

Thank you everyone for your continued support and help with playtesting, translating, and more! We've still got so much more in store for Lured In!
