Don't Sleep With The Fishes Wiki: Items, Events, Characters & Endings
Use this Don't Sleep With The Fishes wiki hub when you need the whole route map in one place. It does not replace a full walkthrough or an all-endings spoiler page. It gives you a stable index for the things players actually check mid-run: what official sources confirm, which item categories matter first, how night events should be tested, what the shipmate choice changes, and where achievements fit without turning guesses into fake facts.
Search intent answer
Quick answer: what belongs in the wiki?
The useful wiki boundary is practical evidence. Official pages confirm the game is a point-and-click survival horror title with randomized scavenging, randomized events, three shipmates, multiple endings, and Steam achievements. Community pages are useful for leads such as events, items, characters, fishing, and the cat, but those leads should be treated as test notes until you reproduce them in a run.
For beginners, the wiki should not start with every possible spoiler. Start with categories: survival supplies, utility and repair tools, food/fishing options, event counters, shipmate observations, ending route families, and achievement clues. That structure helps you make a better decision before sleeping instead of memorizing one brittle recipe.
Items
Track categories first: food, fishing, repair, light, signal, story clues, and narrow event counters.
Events
Record the event name, inventory answer, damage, food state, shipmate, and whether the result repeated.
Characters
Keep each shipmate route separate so dialogue, passive help, and ending hints do not get mixed together.
Wiki evidence
Official facts to anchor the wiki
Steam and itch.io give the safest factual boundary. They verify the game format, Windows PC availability, release context, official access paths, randomized scavenging and events, three shipmates, and multiple endings. Steam Community also exposes the official achievement surface with twelve achievements. Those facts are enough to build a useful wiki hub without inventing hidden item names, exact ending counts, or direct download claims.
The version freshness check for this update was run on August 8, 2026. The checked official itch.io version remains 1.1.4.3 for Windows, with the previously recorded 218 MB ZIP and 200 MB RAR files. Steam remains the official store page, but this site still does not claim a public Steam build number, checksum, or safety-scan result.
Wiki evidence
Item priority framework
A wiki item page is strongest when it separates broad value from route-specific value. Food and fishing support protect the day loop. Repair and utility tools reduce sudden failure. Light, signal, and medicine-looking items deserve notes because they may answer events or late-route pressure. Story objects, including unusual messages or personal clues, should be documented with the condition that made them useful.
Do not rank every item as essential. If an item only mattered once, mark it as a hypothesis and write the test conditions beside it. That makes the wiki more useful than a copied list because players can see whether the claim came from official copy, repeated community observations, or a single personal run.
Wiki evidence
Night events and counters
Night events are where many route claims get exaggerated. A good entry should include the event label, what happened before sleep, the inventory answer, whether the boat or hunger changed, and whether the same answer worked again. When a player has no answer and goes back to sleep, that result is also evidence because it shows what the game allowed under pressure.
The unofficial Fandom events pages are useful leads, especially for names and community vocabulary, but they should not be treated as official proof. Use them to decide what to test next, then keep your own run notes clean enough that another player can repeat the same condition.
Wiki evidence
Characters, cat, and companion routes
The official store copy confirms three different shipmates. Community references also discuss a passenger-style cat and story-only characters. The wiki hub should keep those layers separate: official shipmate count, observed passenger effects, story references, and unverified route theories. Mixing all of them into one character list makes route testing harder.
For the companion you choose, record food changes, fishing help, repair help, island or scouting behavior, dialogue triggers, and ending hints separately. If you change companion and item loadout in the same attempt, you probably cannot tell which variable caused the result.
Decision table
Wiki evidence levels
Use this table before turning any item, event, character, or achievement note into advice. Important conclusions also appear as crawlable HTML text, not only inside images.
| Evidence type | Best source | How to publish it |
|---|---|---|
| Official fact | Use Steam, itch.io, and developer posts | State as fact with source and check date |
| Repeated community note | Use Fandom or guide pages as leads | Mark as community-tested, not official |
| Single-run observation | Use your own notes | Keep as hypothesis until repeated |
| Unsafe download claim | Mirror, crack, APK, browser port | Do not link or treat as official |

FAQ
Don't Sleep With The Fishes Wiki FAQ
Is this an official Don't Sleep With The Fishes wiki?
No. It is an independent fan-made wiki hub that links official sources and labels community evidence separately.
What is the latest checked version?
Checked August 8, 2026: itch.io still shows version 1.1.4.3 for Windows. This page does not invent a Steam build number.
Should achievements be a separate page?
Not yet as the best new page. Similarweb supports wiki demand more clearly; achievement details fit here and can become a separate guide once more route evidence is stable.
What does the cat do?
Captain Whiskers is an optional, low-maintenance rescue. Read the Captain Whiskers cat guide for rescue routes, Fishlet behavior, and the versioned 1% community claim.
Where should I go after this wiki hub?
Use the walkthrough for a first stable run, the endings guide for route families, the message-in-a-bottle page for that item, and the download guide for official access.
