Dive into Fishbowl: A unique coming-of-age gaming experience
Fishbowl, a captivating coming-of-age story about friendship and grief, has released an exciting new demo. The game offers a unique journey of self-discovery, told over the course of a month. In this intimate narrative, players unpack puzzles to rediscover childhood memories, video call loved ones, work from home, and manage self-care and chores – all while figuring out life one day at a time.
Set in the backdrop of a new city, the game follows the story of a 21-year-old protagonist named Alo. She's navigating her first job, living alone, and grieving her grandmother's death. The choices Alo makes each day shape her journey and the unfolding narrative. With video calls to a diverse cast of characters, a fun matching video editing game, and the challenge of rediscovering memories through unpacking puzzles, Fishbowl promises a rich and immersive gaming experience. Players can also engage in home and self-care activities, while enjoying the game's beautiful hand-drawn pixel art and cozy lo-fi soundtracks.
Developed by Goa-based two-person team imissmyfriends.studio, Fishbowl encourages players to “feel all feelings”, emphasizing that there are no “right” endings in this game. The game's demo, which offers a glimpse into the first day of this month-long story, is now available on Steam. The studio is also planning to release the game on PS5. With its heartfelt narrative and unique gameplay mechanics, Fishbowl is sure to resonate with players seeking a deeply personal gaming experience.
