Getting started

  • What is The Wee Pier?

    A cosy idle fishing game on a Scottish island. Sit at the end of a stone pier and the fish bite on their own. Every fish you land earns quid. Spend it on rods, bait and skills, then row out to new spots where bigger, rarer fish bite.

  • How long is it?

    Five Summers and a proper ending, a few hours in all, then fish on as long as you like. No timers and no ways to fail.

  • Is there anything to buy inside the game?

    No. No microtransactions, no ads, no timers and no energy.

Saves and time away

  • Do I need to save?

    No. Your pier saves as you go.

  • Does it keep fishing when I'm away?

    Once you've earned the Bait tin, yes. The pier keeps fishing while you're away, for up to eight hours.

  • What do I keep when a new Summer starts?

    Your catch log, your hands, your lore and the knots on your net all stay.

Controls and settings

  • Can I play with a controller?

    Mouse or keyboard. Controller support is partial for now.

  • The text is too small, or the motion bothers me

    There are settings for larger text and reduced motion, four volume sliders, and shape marks beside colours.
