Timesville · Fishing and collection

Endacopia Fishing Guide

Get the Fishing License from Catthew, show it to the diver on Timesville's dock, and use the fishing rod. Six different fish are enough for the aquarium request. For the full collection, catch 18 different fish across six time slots, then inspect the Fishing Paper for the hidden key.

How to unlock fishing

  1. Talk to the red cat, Catthew, and agree to play hide-and-seek.
  2. Find him behind the small locked shed before the beach, then behind the jail. Follow the newly opened bridge and the house sequence for the last search; return toward the graveyard and follow the chase back to the real Catthew.
  3. Take the Fishing License he gives you. Return to the beach and use it on the diver blocking the dock.
  4. Interact with the rod at the end of the dock. The Fishing Paper is a collection checklist, not a replacement for the license.

For an individual catch, click to cast, watch the bobber for the sparkle, and click again to hook it. During reeling, use the mouse to keep the indicator between the two X markers. Watch that indicator rather than trying to guess success from the fish animation.

All 18 fish by time slot

Each time slot has three different catches. Advance Timesville's clock by entering or leaving a building, then check the clock before returning to the dock. Waiting on the beach does not advance the cycle described in the fishing guide.

Swipe the table sideways to read every column.

Time slotFish to collect
Day 1Nautilus · Colisa Lalia · Jantic Fish
Day 2Peter Panini · Seahorse · Singin' Fish
Day 3Eel · Reddest Fish Ever · Sea Man
Night 1Pirate · Skele-Fish · RC Ship
Night 2Crab · Starfish · Big Worm
Night 3Drawing of a Fish · Jelly · Crate

Tick off distinct fish as you catch them. A duplicate does not fill a missing entry, so change the time slot when you have all three from the current group. The achievement checklist covers I Want To Be A Fisherman alongside the other collection goals.

Six fish: aquarium, party and telescope

Visit the aquarium at night and speak to the fox, Whiskers. Bring six different fish to satisfy his request and receive a party invitation. This is the normal progression reward; you can continue collecting the remaining fish afterward.

Go upstairs in the Condo and enter the far-right party room. Give Yellow as the password. Reassure the owl about the party, then collect the telescope. Use the telescope guide to choose between the shed, beach and Office clues.

Eighteen fish: Fishing Paper and hidden key

Use the Metal Detector on the beach to find the Fishing Paper. Once every fish entry is filled, leave the fishing interaction and inspect the paper again for the key. Guides call it the Lost Key or Old Key; both names refer to the fish-collection reward in this route.

Return to the small dollhouse room near the waterfall after finishing its ordinary puzzle. Switch to windowed mode with Alt + Enter and use the key on the hidden window lock. That begins the Timesville secret sequence for Ending C, rather than another aquarium request.

If the fishing achievement does not appear immediately, exit the rod interaction and check the checklist. Some players report that leaving the fishing view is needed before the notification appears. The reward timing has not been independently tested on the current build.

Fishing questions

Do I need all 18 fish to continue the story?

No. The aquarium request is six different fish. The eighteen-fish collection serves the fishing achievement and the hidden-key route.

Why do I keep getting the same fish?

Check your current time slot. Its pool contains only three species, so a missing fish from another slot will not appear until you advance the clock.

Is the blurred question-mark catch on the checklist?

The collection guides treat that encounter as an optional scare. It is not one of the eighteen named entries above.
