Original article in German


On the 20th of June 2025, there was a tragic incident.

A chonky catfish (more than 90 kilos heavy and 2 meters long) was minding his own business in the Brombachsee, Germany. Disturbed by the presence of swimmers, it defended itself, causing people to flee. Five of them were bitten and for this, the fish was first shot at three times by the police, then caught, killed, cut up and served for 22.50€ a piece.

This monstrous act of humankind can not go unpunished, so it is your task to reclaim the seas of Earth and become the Catfish Master.

sells fish well what  will happen now (fish gets cut up and sevrd for 22 eros a pies)

No, don't worry, it gets sold to a benevolent organisation which shall not be named (until I come up with a good name lol)

Imagine being in your home, humans invade, you defend yourself, they call you a monster, shoot you, then sell you for €22 a plate.💀

I mean... Colonialism (of course minus the eating part I hope)

Thanks for the rating btw :)

It gets even worse when the selling part is real.

Hey there,

I wish I could say no, but this really happened. 

Here's a link to an official news agency in Germany: Catfish Brombachsee

I've been raising some humungous Catfish recently. I've put in on hold until 'Conquer' is added, whatever that may be. I guess I could max out my Ascend achievement, but the repetition has got to me. 

I suppose that you have a few more achievements in mind judging by how many are 'coming soon,' but in case you haven't thought of them yet, I was thinking of; Reach x metres without any of x upgrade.

One of these days I'll check back and see where you got to with LotCG. I hope you're both well :)

Hey there, good to hear from you and thanks for thoroughly testing this game :D

The achievements will be related to the new content (conquering, milestones and mastering), but I like the idea to reach x meters without buying any upgrade. This kind of challenge will be part of another major update, which I'll work on later 

About LotCG: the next major content update is about 2-3 weeks from release! Just needs more work, polishing and testing. I hope it will be fun to play :)

Have a good time, doc 👍
