Hi everyone!

We are thrilled to share with you that the Fishbowl Demo + Trailer have released TODAY!!

We can’t wait for you to finally enter Alo’s little world and
💬 stay in touch with loved ones
📦 rediscover childhood memories
💻 work from home as a video editor
💜 know yourself better one day at a time

The demo is a peek into the game where you will be able to play the first day of our month-long story. We hope it gets you intrigued for what lies ahead.

It’s been three years of working on Fishbowl, (two years part-time and one year of heart-pouring full-time). We couldn’t have done it without friends and family who cheered us on, helped us with play-testing and certainly did not let us miss them, while we made the game. You know who you are ^_^

It really wouldn’t have been as fun or full without all of YOU! Our Fishbowl community!

Hope the experience of playing the demo stays with you while we are hard at work on the full game.

Tell us what you think of it and also, tell us if you spot anything… um… suspicious.

Fishbowl demo out on Steam (Mac + Windows) and PS5!


Love,

Hi everyone!

Today we want to tell you about the unpacking puzzles in Fishbowl and our thoughts behind them.

When you solve unpacking puzzles, you will rediscover childhood memories from our main character, Alo’s, past.

The puzzles require you to move objects around in order to ‘get’ the one at the bottom.

These puzzles have you unpack objects belonging to Jaja, Alo’s grandma, who passed away a little while ago. They tell stories of significant moments in Alo’s life, growing up.

Some of these objects will be dear to Alo, reminding her of a simpler time spent together with friends and family, while others may dive deep into some secrets.

We are hoping for our Indian friends to be able to spot a lot more than catches the eye. Like the Maggi and Hot and Sweet ketchup there. IYKYK.

Also, spot the box of ‘mathri’, a savoury flaky cookie or cracker from North India (Rajasthan) popularly eaten with ‘achaar’, Indian pickle. Yum!

Let’s dissect the objects in this one puzzle. Don’t worry, we won’t give away the object at the bottom which will give you a memory!

📗 Cross Stitch book: Jaja preserved this book through all these years.
🪡 Cross Stitch Embroidery: Some floral embroidery Jaja was working on.
🧵 Colourful threads: Jaja made sure to collect new colours of threads to add to her collection.
✂️ Scissors: Jaja’s trusted scissors which Alo was not allowed to play with when she was little.
🚃 Train: This wooden train toy is inspired from wooden Channapatna toys made in South India (Karnataka) that we love. If you like how this train looks, google it to see lots more beautifully hand-made toys.
🪙 Coin Purse: Jaja’s little coin purse, which would double up as Alo’s when she’d wrap Jaja’s sari around herself and pretend to be all grown up.
🧶 Yarn: Just some blue wool. Maybe Jaja was about to start making something new! 💔

Hope you enjoyed going through the objects in this puzzle with us. Fishbowl has lots of them so stick around for more. We are excited to share how to solve the puzzle and the memory you will get too, but all in good time. What would you like us to post about next? Leave a comment below!
