Lake Prespa is a quiet fishing and village-building game set on a real lake high in the Balkan mountains, in the village of Pustec, Albania.
You arrive on the shore with a rod and an empty plot by the water. Baba Mara has watched this lake her whole life, and she remembers everything. Fish, sell your catch and raise the village again, roof by roof and season by season, while she tells you what the lake keeps.
FISH THE WAY PUSTEC ALWAYS HAS
• Cast a rod from the pier, float a pelaizia (a raft of juniper branches the fish shelter under) and throw the weighted pezula net over a shoal
• Eleven fish of the lake to find, from carp and the little Prespa bleak to the legendary Prespa trout
• A fishing journal for every catch, every record and every rare one
BUILD A VILLAGE BY THE WATER
• Eighteen kinds of building, each with three tiers: huts and piers, a smokehouse, a clay oven, a rakija still, beehives, a weaving loom and more
• Buildings that work together: dry and smoke the catch, bake tava, press the grapes
• Villagers, donkeys and boats bring the shore to life as it grows
LIVE A YEAR AT THE LAKE
• Four seasons that change the water, the fish and the work
• Pelicans in spring, the summer fair, the grape harvest on the terraced hill
• Bring the old vineyard back, then row out to Maligrad, the island in the middle of the lake
A STORY IN FIVE ACTS
• About twenty hours of story, told by Baba Mara over two years at the lake
• A mystery older than the village, and nothing to rush you through it
YOURS TO PLAY
• No ads and no in-app purchases. No energy, nothing to pay to keep playing
• Plays offline. Your village can be kept in the cloud with no sign-in, and moved to a new phone with a transfer code
• Leaderboards for prestige and the biggest fish, under a name the lake gives you
Inspired by the real beauty of Lake Prespa.

The children are out playing.
• Cilipinga: Vesna and Kiro have the sticks out on the main road. Flip the short stick, strike it while it's in the air, and send it round whoever is fielding. Beat Vesna over three turns, and see who has the longest turn on the new board around the lake.
• The slingshot: Kiro has set six tin cans on the wall and has eight pebbles for you. Knock them all down.
• During the Summer Fair, a visitor off the boats wants a match.
• Baba Mara's words no longer jump from line to line as she speaks.
• The title screen no longer shows a Quit button that didn't work on iPhone.
