fishy

I mean. Stylistically it was great and the ending was pretty cute and wholesome but. It just feels like there's something missing. The entire thing feels like a build up without a proper climax/payoff. I found myself genuinely puzzled realising that the ending shark transition(which was, REALLY cool btw/srs) was for the credits. I liked the use of your favourite fish being used by the octopus, too. And I feel like this utilises the cosmic horror of the sea really well. But yeah I am quite dissapointed with the amount of build up wih so little payoff, in my personal oppinion. 

I liked this game, and it's saying a lot because I have a phobia of amputees. I had a hard time playing the game, and editing the video. The main character having a prosthetic arm is scary enough to me. But it's also a very beautiful and emotional game.

the game starts at 12:35

The history log works at first. Then, once the dialogue gets to the line, "Typical Monica," in the beginning of the story, that's when the history log stops working and has an error.

The error is found in renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy on line 173, in script $ ui.interact().

It's an AttributeError: 'Window' object has no attribute 'window_size'.

So, hopefully that can get fixed for a future update.

I literally no joke cried a bit ngl, especially as someone with invisible illnesses that has the same feelings the mc experiences in a way (with the friends and expectations and even fears, as well as the feeling of no one seeing the world the way you do and how it just causes this domino effect on your mental health). I was completely flash banged bcus i came in thinkin I'd be jump scared or there would be gore or smth but I came out holding back tears

My heart is doing positive heart things. Thats all there is to say on this matter.

really cute game. short and sweet.

for anyone wondering, there is no jumpscares!

This was absolutely superb ;; Y'all did a great job with this story, and I was floored by how much time and polish you put into the artwork too <3

I absolutely loved it! The art style is everything and the story was cute but creepy too. I hope I can see more games like this from you in the future

A cute game about a young girl that just doesn't feel like she fits in and is terrified of the sea.  I loved the artwork and the writing was very good also.  Just some scenes could have been a bit more scary but it had that Lovecraftian vibe.  If you want to watch my playthrough with narration.

I have put it into 2 parts:

Come face to face with the fear of unknown and find a friend in the monster you ran away from.

It is interesting how this game merged the casual experience of a Birthday party at an aquarium with the fears of our main character.

You can read more about it in my review (https://gyepitypes.wordpress.com/2021/09/14/videogame-reviews-fishy/)

It took an unexpected and interesting turn and I really did relate to the main character and how she felt about some of those things. Felt like the ending was too good to be true unless I missed something. Either was it was a really beautiful and well-written

hi, i don't do well with jumpscares, does this game have any?

It was super cute! Took me almost an hour since I was reading it out loud and reacting for a YouTube video! ♥

dude i love this game - the art style, the story - everything :D it was pretty short but oh my god it's such a good game :(

Considering how short this game is, the devs have put a lot of work and care into the amount of artwork in it - there are some effective moving scenes, and the art itself is really nice.  It was an interesting and enjoyable short story that suggests that the devs could really make something amazing if they tackled a larger project.

WOW A LOT OF FEELINGS. the content warnings include body horror and intense depictions of anxiety. I definitely appreciated knowing there was going to be body horror going in, and the art and story were REALLY GREAT. It had a traditional art vibe and lots of spooky sea creatures. I felt the anxiety bit so hard. so hard.

This game really left an impact on me! The characters were fun, and the depictions of anxiety and paranoia really hit home to me. So, the ending had all the more effect on me, it was a very lovely story!

i love bruce so much

this was a really well-made VN! I thoroughly enjoyed it :)

this was super fun to play!

This was such fun to play! I love (and was very unnerved by) the art, the music was perfect, and the story was touching & very cute! Great work!!

Awesome game! The horror scenes had great atmosphere and I LOVE the monster designs but I'm also really glad it had a wholesome ending for the characters.

Great game! Lovely story, endearing characters and the creepy bits felt very Lovecraft but at a kid's birthday party.
