Fishbowl, a coming-of-age story told over a month, is coming to PlayStation 5 & PC

Experience a warm and cozy story about living in isolation, nurturing friendships and understanding grief

Goa, India - March 5th, 2024  - Two-person indie outfit imissmyfriends.studio are proud to reveal that their upcoming coming-of-age slice of life game Fishbowl will be coming to PC and PlayStation 5 as part of PlayStation's new India Hero Project, a new incubator program focused on identifying and supporting emerging talent from the region. 

Fishbowl is a heartfelt, slice of life, coming of age story told over a month. 21-year-old Alo gets her first job in a new city and is living by herself while grieving her grandma's death. The choices she makes each day in figuring out life will lead to a unique journey of self discovery with branching paths and multiple endings.

Decide how you want to spend each day. Video call loved ones, work as a video editor by playing an arcade matching game, sort through your late grandmother's belongings in unpacking puzzles to rediscover childhood memories, and don't forget to practice self-care tasks and get to know yourself better, one day at a time.

Fishbowl is a warm and cozy story about living in isolation, nurturing friendships and understanding grief. In Fishbowl, feel all feelings as there are no right endings.

"At imissmyfriends.studio we hope to tell stories that resonate with players and stay in their hearts as something special for a long time after having played our game," said Rhea Gupte, Co-Founder and Creative Director of imissmyfriends.studio. "Being from India, we want to highlight experiences and narratives from here with a strong social and emotional impact. We hope to contribute to this ongoing movement of how underrepresented stories are important, as they are crucial to building empathy and highlighting perspectives from different communities."
