Fishbowl is a slow and tender narrative game about dreams, grief, and hope. Rediscover your memories and find your way into the present in this intimate experience where slice-of-life meets surreal.
Twenty-one year old Alo gets her first job in a new city and lives by herself while grieving her grandma’s death. The choices she makes over the course of a month will lead to a unique journey of self discovery.
Fishbowl is a visual novel about becoming an adult and seeing your childhood in a new light. Drowning in feelings of grief, isolation, and the responsibilities of adulthood, Alo receives an unlikely lifeline in the form of a magical talking fish from her childhood. With Paplet as her companion, Alo unravels the threads of her past, giving way to a new future.
Experience Alo’s daily life where you work from home as a video editor, connect with friends, family, and coworkers, and rediscover memories of Alo's childhood by sorting through her late grandmother’s things. Fishbowl is a warm and cozy story about living in isolation, nurturing friendships and understanding grief.
Through daily tasks and activities find ways to create a fulfilling life, even while in isolation.
With the help of an unlikely companion, re-examine events from your past and piece together the meaning of your dreams.
As a video editor, edit files with a dynamic matching game, meet your co-workers and support each other in doing the best that you can.
While in your apartment on your own, a community of diverse characters helps cheer you on and keep your loneliness at bay.
No bad endings, just different paths. The choices you make will shape the possibilities in Alo’s future.
Through the emotionally-rich narrative and thoughtful re-examination of your childhood, figure out who you want to be.

Saying you've "finished" or "beat" a game these days is a loaded statement. Sometimes it's not even enough to "platinum" a game. So here are the games I've done a version of all that with, including rolling credits in 2026.
