We’re happy to announce we're working on a new game called Lost Lures, developed by Hatfuls Creative.
Lost Lures is a fishing game built around how fishing actually works. It’s about making decisions, reading conditions, and learning fish behavior over time. Weather, time of day, and location all matter, and progress comes from understanding what’s happening rather than reacting quickly.
The game has a clear, stylized look, while the fishing itself follows real-world logic. Different species behave differently, respond to different lures, and live in different kinds of spots. Real-world lures and gear are part of the design from the start.
Development has begun on PC, and the game is already playable in an early playtest version. We’re gathering feedback while systems and mechanics are still easy to adjust. The plan is to release the finished game on PC first, with console versions coming later.
You can already try the game through our Patreon, where the current playtest build is available: https://www.patreon.com/c/LostLures
Lost Lures fits naturally into the direction we’ve been moving toward at Bonus Stage. We’ve been working more with projects that grow out of the developers’ own hobbies and interests, and this one follows that same path.
We’ll share more as development continues.
