Hi everyone! 👋🏾

FISHBOWL HAS A RELEASE DATE! APRIL 2! 

Second of April. April the second. It will be a good day. We hope all of you get to play our game! We will be releasing Fishbowl at 9.99 USD and will have regional pricing too. We hope on April 2nd all of you buy the game and dive into Alo’s story.

It feels surreal to know that almost exactly five years ago, in April 2021, the two of us started making Fishbowl. Even more surreal that five years later, it is going to be in your hands. It will be yours to keep. 

We hope you all become good friends with Alo, Zu, Noor, Rosa, Jaja, Paplet and all of our characters. 

We hope the story of Fishbowl fills everyone with hope, joy and a will to keep going, no matter what. 

We hope you will all play our game. We have put our everything into it and to see it in your hands is going to be a dream come true for both of us.

Please mark your calendars for April 2nd and if you haven’t yet, please wishlist Fishbowl. Just a few days to go now.

Love,

Rhea & Prateek

Hi everyone! 👋🏾

2026 is here and we are one month in already?!? Fishbowl’s release day is coming closer and closer. AAHHHH!!!

We have both thrown ourselves into our to-do lists and playtests and solving bugs and noting improvements and making the game as much of itself as we can possibly make it. We thought it might be fun to take you all through the latest trailer of Fishbowl. We know many of you spotted some interesting and unexpected things in there!

First up! The trailer opens with a little glow around Alo. If you have played the demo, you know exactly what this leads to. For those who haven’t, we won’t spoil it for you 🙂

We then give you a quick glimpse into Alo’s dream world. A dark part of Alo’s mind which holds suppressed events, overwhelming thoughts and complex feelings all tumbling out of her in her sleep. 

Next up, you move through Alo’s memories from when she was little. You get to see some of her friends, her grandma’s tea shop and the nearby park she’d play in.

The trailer then shifts to present time where Alo gets a call from her Mum while travelling back home from work in an autorickshaw. 

You then see Alo doing home and self care tasks around her new home. The little bar you see on top is her moodmeter. It shifts up and down as per the things Alo does in her home. Since this trailer was released, we’ve reworked the design of the moodmeter and are MUCH happier with it now. You will get to see it soon ^_^

You then see some movers and packers keep a whole lot of packages all over Alo’s home and you also see her unpacking some of them by solving a sliding style puzzle. Every puzzle that you unpack will unlock a memory and help you piece together bits and pieces of Alo’s story. 

We give you a peek into Alo’s work from home job as a video editor. There are a bunch of new colleagues for you to get to know and work with. 

At the end of our trailer, Alo goes to bed after a long day.

Hope you all enjoyed going through this trailer with us! If this is the first time you’ve seen our game, welcome! If you’ve been rooting for us for a long time, we are beyond grateful! If you like what you see, we want to remind you to wishlist Fishbowl. 

Now back to our desks!

Love,

Rhea & Prateek

Please support our development journey! Here are some things you can do:

Hi everyone!

After a long break to focus on Fishbowl’s development we are now back with regular game updates! Having a community to come back to feels really special and we don’t ever take it for granted. Thank you for sticking along!

Today we’ll give you a glimpse into the video editing mini-game in Fishbowl.

Alo works as a junior video editor at Sitara LLC. It's a media company run by a big social media star named Sitara. Alo grew up watching and admiring them. When she was a kid, she’d often watch Sitara’s channel with her friends. Cut to now, having this job feels like a full circle moment for Alo.

Over at Sitara LLC, they have lots of writers, graphic designers and of course, video editors working to make sure all the work that Sitara creates and uploads is perfect!

Video editing in Fishbowl is a colour/symbol matching game. You move the clips to sort them into the correct track. The video editing levels vary from easy to hard depending on the work pressure for the day. Sitara is usually working on multiple projects at a time, so there is a LOT to do sometimes.

Although you work from home, Alo’s manager, Iris, makes sure you aren’t alone. She teams you up with various colleagues so you have company while you work—

👩🏽‍💻You get to meet new people

🔥Learn from them and what they are good at

🎯Level up your skills as well, if you’d like to!

Each new colleague you meet, will have their own ability which they will teach you. So hopefully, your everyday job is full of fun and something to look forward to!

If you aren’t very good at editing videos, worry not, your colleagues will be by your side, and you will still progress in the game. However, in a slightly different way! 😉

And perhaps, you will get to meet your boss, superstar streamer Sitara as you play along!

Hope you enjoyed getting to know about Alo’s job! We will be back and explore another fun part of Fishbowl, maybe a deep-dive into a new character next? What would you like to hear about?

PS: Some news! Fishbowl is part of the Midwinter Spirits event on Steam starting this week! 🥳

PPS: If you’d like to give the video editing game a shot, do check out the Fishbowl demo on Steam! 👾
