Welcome to Fishwick & Co., your cozy pixel-art fish shop! Here, you start with an empty storefront and a handful of coins. Your mission is to build a thriving fish business from scratch. You will source fish from various biomes, curate beautiful aquarium displays, and engage in face-to-face bargaining with customers who enter your shop.

Every day begins with mystery supply crates. Visit your supplier each morning and roll the dice on crates, contracts, and special orders. You can find common crates that guarantee safe profit, or you can take risks for rare contracts that offer rewards. You never really know what will swim into your storage, which adds excitement to your game.

Your fish shop is like a stage where you can curate aquarium displays. Arrange fish into themed tanks to attract the right customers. If you have premium displays, you're likely to draw premium buyers. But if your stock is mismatched, don't be surprised to see window-shoppers passing by without making a purchase.

The bargaining negotiation mechanic is more than just a tap-to-sell feature. Each sale involves a 3-round counter-offer negotiation. It’s important to read your customers well. If you push too hard, they may hold firm or drop their offer entirely. The goal is to find that sweet spot for a "Steal!" deal, which will earn you bonus gold and increase your reputation. Closing a deal on the first round can also earn you the smooth talk bonus.

As you explore the different biomes of fish, like the bright Tropical Forest and the mysterious Crimson region, you'll encounter new species, flavors, and special supplier packs. Filling your Codex by discovering every fish adds to the fun of fish species discovery.

You will also meet various customer types, each with their own behavior patterns. The haggler customer type may start negotiating low, while the premium collector might be ready to pay more. Keep an eye out for the impatient tourist, who won't want to wait around for a deal. Understanding these customer behaviors is key to your success. Mastering customer behavior analysis will help you sell more effectively.

As you make successful bargains, your reputation grows. Higher reputation leads to more customers each day and a better archetype customer mix. Unlike in many other games, your reputation never decreases, so your victories are permanent.

Fishwick & Co. is perfect for fans of cozy management games, shop simulations, trading games, and even tycoon games. If you enjoy the satisfying click of closing a good deal, then this game is for you.

Whether you have just 5 minutes or several hours, Fishwick & Co. is the chill fish shop simulator you didn’t know you needed. Open your shop, open a mystery crate, and dive into the exciting world of bargaining. Welcome to Fishwick & Co.!
