Freddi Fish 4: The Case of the Hogfish Rustlers of Briny Gulch is a 1999 release and the fourth entry in the Freddi Fish franchise, created and distributed by Humongous Entertainment.

Plot

Freddi and Luther travel to visit Freddi's relative, Calico Catfish, who runs a hogfish ranch in the Old West-inspired town of Briny Gulch. Upon arrival, they learn that Calico’s hogfish have been stolen. With Sheriff Shrimp away, the duo steps up to investigate the theft.

At a local tavern, they uncover a note referencing a gathering at the shipwreck known as the "Rusty Rustler," along with a lock code. When they arrive at the site, they encounter Goby, one of the rustlers, who refuses to let them in unless they wear appropriate attire. Meanwhile, Moray, another rustler, is overwhelmed by the hogfish and threatens to summon "Mr. Big."

After collecting items for disguises, Freddi and Luther return to the Rusty Rustler, deceive Goby, but are soon captured by Moray and locked up. Inside the cell with the hogfish, they find hints about Mr. Big’s true identity and manage to free the animals. Sheriff Shrimp returns accompanied by townspeople to apprehend the rustlers. Freddi exposes Mr. Big’s identity, leading Calico to employ Goby, Moray, and Mr. Big as assistant ranch hands after they show enthusiasm for running the hogfish operation.

The gameplay of Freddi Fish 4 remains consistent with earlier titles in the series, offering various endings depending on which suspect—Eight Finger Phil, Nelson Torso, Sahara Slim, or Gill Barker—is ultimately revealed as responsible for the hogfish theft.
