Fishbowl

Fishbowl is a visual novel about 21-year-old Alo, who starts her first job in a new city and lives alone while grieving her grandmother’s death. Over the course of a month, your choices shape Alo’s journey of self-discovery as she faces isolation and the responsibilities of adulthood.

Alo’s daily life

You experience Alo’s days as she works from home as a video editor, keeps in touch with friends, family and coworkers, and sorts through her late grandmother’s belongings to rediscover childhood memories. Daily tasks and activities help her build a fulfilling life while living in isolation, and the game’s dynamic matching game has you edit files as you meet coworkers and support one another at work.

Although Alo is on her own in her apartment, a community of diverse characters helps lift her spirits and ease her loneliness. Her unlikely companion, Paplet, is a magical talking fish from her childhood. Together, they revisit events from Alo’s past and piece together the meaning of her dreams.

Grief and new paths

As Alo re-examines her childhood, she works through grief and considers who she wants to become. The story has no bad endings: your choices lead to different paths and shape the possibilities in her future.
