" summary

FakeFish Oy showcases two community-driven projects: an SCP-inspired free indie that reaches 10 million downloads and climbed to #22 in PC new releases after volunteers turned a solo prototype into ~50 active collaborators and viral YouTube coverage. The current commercial open-alpha is a co-op submarine game set on Europa with an in-game submarine editor, procedural levels, deep electricity systems (a fan built Tetris inside), and community-made PvP — already at 100,000 open‑alpha installs with source on GitHub.
