Fishing in Hell — a calm fishing wallpaper across the damned

A slow rod over the Six Infernal Seas. SamuelWize drifts his little boat behind your desktop icons, casting beneath erupting volcanoes, green moons and rising ghost whales. There is no clock and no failing — just the haul, growing heavier. Click in any time and the line is yours. For Windows 10 & 11, multi-monitor ready.

What it is

The quietest corner of hell, on your desktop

Fishing in Hell is a hand-built 16-bit world that runs as a true animated wallpaper behind your icons. In attract mode SamuelWize sails and fishes on his own, lingering in each of the Six Infernal Seas as long as he likes, hooking its three strange fish and building the weight of the haul. Press Space or click and you take the rod — cast, wait, reel, and shoo the hellish gulls that swoop for your catch. There's no timer and nothing to lose: it's the calmest fishing game ever set over a lake of the damned, with an original score and photosensitivity-graded scenes.

Six seas

Where the boat drifts

Sea 1

The Crimson Abyss

The sea of rage — casting beneath erupting volcanoes that light the red water.

Sea 2

The Emerald Mire

The sea of decay, fished under a huge green moon and half-sunken bones of the forest.

Sea 3

The Sapphire Deep

The sea of sorrow — ghost whales rise and fall in the blue while the line sits still.

Sea 4

The Violet Veil

The sea of madness, drifting past floating islands where the horizon forgets itself.

Sea 5

The Golden Furnace

The sea of greed — crystal palaces and gilded towers glowing over deep gold water.

Sea 6

The Ivory Silence

The sea of peace: pale water, stone arches that lead nowhere, and the end of the drift.

Why it's different

Not a picture. A world.

01

No clock, no failing

Eighteen strange fish across six seas and a haul that only ever grows. It's the rare desktop game that asks nothing of you.

02

Runs behind your icons

It lives on your desktop as a true animated wallpaper — frame-capped, quiet in the background, and it pauses for fullscreen games.

03

Song-synced 16-bit

Six seas, each scored, with an original soundtrack, hellish gulls to shoo, and CRT scanline and HUD toggles.

Questions

Good to know

Is Fishing in Hell a live wallpaper or a game?
Both. It runs as an animated live wallpaper behind your desktop icons, sailing and auto-fishing across its six seas on its own. Click or press Space and you cast and reel the line yourself; go idle and it hands itself back to the demo.
Where do I buy it?
Fishing in Hell is a Microsoft Store exclusive. Install the free SamuelWize Wallpapers app from the Microsoft Store, open the pack in the gallery, and buy it right inside the app.
How much does it cost?
A one-time £2.99, bought inside the app on the Microsoft Store. The purchase follows your Microsoft account — no license key needed, and it restores if you reinstall.
Will it slow down my PC?
It's frame-capped to stay light on the GPU and automatically pauses when you open a fullscreen app or game, so it never competes with what you're actually doing.
