    This is a story with an important message about self-care, mental health, and forgiving yourself and your loved ones. It really resonated with me and even inspired me to do a bit better with my own self-care routines. Fishbowl‘s story is compelling and well-written, and it’s one I’ll be thinking about for a long time. For just $10, it’s cheaper than most paperbacks these days and delivers a strong story served alongside entertaining gameplay elements that immerse you in the tale.

    Fishbowl is a game that you need to accept with open arms and an open mind. A game that attempts, and at often times succeeds, in making you empathetic to Alo’s emotional state and perhaps even make you reflect in yours. They do this through their great usage of simple gameplay mechanics, art direction, sound, and music. It’ll make you happy. It’ll make you sad. It’s a game that you need to be ready for in order to fully appreciate, if you’ll let it.

    Fishbowl has a pretty solid foundation and a great art style, but unfortunately, due to its handling of the subject matter and the repetitive, tedious gameplay, it doesn’t live up to its potential. It’s a sweet game, with great art and some fun music, but Fishbowl struggled to connect with me.
