The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players say Fishbowl is a heartfelt narrative about grief and self-discovery, told through repetitive daily tasks that some find tedious despite the emotional story. The pixel art and visual novel style are praised, but opinions split on whether the monotony serves the theme or hurts the gameplay.
