Webfishing is the latest game to take the indie scene by storm, and its creator had their expectations blown away completely.

It's a cozy fishing game with Animal Crossing vibes. You play as a cute critter and wander around a soothing forest of a calm beach and cast your rod into the waters hoping to catch some fish. Developer West tweeted that they "figured MAYBE like 100 people would play it ever- but here we are!" A month after release, the peak concurrent player count is almost 25,000.
