Fish Stick Protocol an 8-player co-op adventure through erratic procedural dimensions, now bringing nonstop game action to Steam Deck and Linux via Windows PC. Thanks to the creative brilliance of the team at Maracas Studio. Which is live on Steam Early Access with 90% Positive reviews.
Get ready to lose your mind (in the best way possible). Maracas Studio has just released Fish Stick Protocol into Early Access and it’s an exclusive PC release. One that’s already stirring up some seriously chaotic fun. Whether you’re playing on Windows or rocking it through Proton on Linux or Steam Deck, this one’s built for players who crave unpredictable co-op madness. The developers already have proof that it runs smoothly via Steam Play too.
So, what’s the deal? Fish Stick Protocol throws you and up to seven friends into a ridiculous, dimension-hopping action adventure. Here, teamwork, physics, and pure chaos collide. It’s like someone mashed up your favorite co-op survival game with a cartoon fever dream. Then, sprinkled in enough slapstick humor to keep you laughing between every near-disaster.
During Early Access, Maracas Studio plans to spend about six months polishing every system, adding more content, and making sure each new portal feels fresh, wild, and just the right amount of weird.
And if you’re one of the early supporters jumping in during launch week, you’ll get something special for your loyalty, a set of exclusive cosmetic items that mark you as part of the very first wave of players. Basically, you’ll get to flex that “I was here before it blew up” energy.
Fish Stick Protocol – Early Access trailer
But that’s not all, streamers get a bonus treat. Anyone broadcasting their chaotic action adventures can unlock a personalized in-game cosmetic just by entering a code like twitch:[yourusername]. The title will automatically pull your Twitch profile picture and slap it on your gear. It’s a fun, creative way to show off your community. Maybe remind your squad who’s the real MVP.
The launch trailer captures it perfectly, pure laughter, confusion, and “what just happened” moments. These are straight from streamer reactions during the beta. It’s the kind of game where every mission feels like a new story to tell your friends afterward.
Fish Stick Protocol is all about co-op chaos: reviving your friends, saving your weird relics, and trying (and often failing) to keep it all together. Explore procedurally generated worlds full of bizarre creatures and even stranger physics. Collect artifacts, decorate your upgradeable manor, unlock new rooms, and paint yourself the wildest color combo you can imagine in the painting showers.
No horror. No permadeath. Just creativity, cooperation, and straight-up fun.
Available now on Steam Early Access for $9.99 USD / £8.50 / €9.99, with a 30% launch discount during the first week.
So grab your crew, boot up your rig (yes, it runs beautifully on Steam Deck and Linux with Proton), and jump into the chaos of Fish Stick Protocol — where teamwork meets total unpredictability.
