fishy

[h1]Before I played fishy, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

Game was absolutely adorable and captures anxiety really well! The art was beautifully drawn and it was REALLY cool that the main character has a prosthetic arm!! Short, cute, and all around gorgeous game! Very well done!

Алиса fishy — короткая визуальная новелла о подростке с протезом руки, которая приходит на день рождения подруги в аквариум и постепенно сталкивается с тревожными и сюрреалистичными явлениями: привычные рыбы будто обретают зловещий смысл, а пространство начинает играть с её страхами. Плюсы: атмосферная подача тревоги и взросления — игра тонко передаёт неуверенность и внутренние страхи героини, сочетая бытовую драму с лёгким психологическим хоррором; выразительный художественный стиль — 583 уникальных нарисованных от руки морских существ и плавные анимированные фоны создают завораживающую подводную эстетику. Минусы: очень короткая продолжительность — прохождение занимает около получаса, из‑за чего персонажи и конфликт не успевают раскрыться полноценно; минимальная вариативность — выборы почти не влияют на финал, что снижает мотивацию к повторному прохождению. Итог: лаконичная и атмосферная инди‑новелла, которая за короткое время успевает зацепить настроением и визуалом — подойдёт для разового погружения в тревожно‑красивый подводный мир, но не предложит глубокой или разветвлённой истории.

Fishy is a short visual novel about a student celebrating a classmates birthday. During her time at the aquarium, she learns to face her fears and find empowerment in the things that are unique about her. For a free game, the art style is STUNNING and doesn't require flashy graphics to keep your attention. The story is well written taking from an experience players have all likely had. The characters are well written and very much act/talk like middle schoolers. Though the characters themselves are younger, people of all ages can relate to the storyline. My favorite part is the twist that leads your character to face their fears. It's just unexpected enough to surprise you but not enough to distract from the plot. I wish there was more development when it came to this part in particular but was pleased with what was offered in the game. I would absolutely recommend this for someone who is just looking for a simple visual novel or a short game. I'd also recommend it for parents who are looking for tools to connect with kids who experience anxiety.

"fishy" isn't a game. It's an e-book dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual novel/e-book/fan-fiction, this has no notable gameplay. It's just clicking through badly written dialogue that would never be accepted in print by an actual professional publisher. How did something this badly written end up on Steam? When someone can't get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam Direct under the guise of a game. This is a thankfully short non-game e-book that deals with a girl who gets lost while trying to make friends in an aquarium, and features some encounters with aquarium themed monsters. As with all non-game e-books on Steam, the writing is particularly bad, on par with your average high school fan-fiction. This was slapped together with the godawful Ren'Py visual novel construction kit... enabling terrible authors to publish books as if they were games when otherwise we might have been spared the pollution. So, just like no professional writing took place here, no professional software development took place, either. Visual novels/e-books are the worst way to try read a book (and they're always written far worse than real books too). Imagine reading your favorite book, be that War and Peace or The Davinci Code (are you ok??), but you have to click the mouse for every single sentence that appears. You'd hate it. It's a garbage way to try read a book... and even if it wasn't, this still isn't a game. Now take that annoying clicking and add utterly cringey high-school anime club dropout writing to it. Real authors are published in print and found in Barnes & Noble. This garbage only ended up on Steam because they paid $100 to self-publish, because let's face it, professional publishers would not only reject this garbage they saw it, they'd take out restraining orders. There's no reason for this to be on Steam when it could just be a webpage... e-books are just a bunch of cringe text and (usually character generator created) static 2D imagery. You don't buy an expensive gaming PC to use it for something your web browser can do for free. A peak of 6 concurrent readers for a free visual novel/e-book is a disaster. Out of 130 million potential gamers, almost nobody was interested. That level of rejection speaks for how badly written this is. To put this into perspective, to satisfy the global demand for this book, you'd only ever need to print 6 copies. That's what failure looks like. While this e-book's free, you can get better quality books and comics for free online or from public libraries. Steam is for PC games. Your gaming rig is not a Kindle or a mobile phone e-book reader. It's impossible for me to recommend things to PC gamers that aren't really games.

Игра "Fishy" - это увлекательная и простая аркада, которая затягивает с первых же секунд. Суть игры проста: вы играете за маленькую рыбку, которая должна поедать рыбок поменьше, чтобы расти и выживать в опасном подводном мире. Чем больше вы едите, тем больше становитесь, и тем более крупных рыб вы сможете одолеть. Геймплей динамичный и интуитивно понятный. Управление осуществляется легко, а сама игра не требует глубоких размышлений, что делает ее идеальной для коротких перерывов или для того, чтобы скоротать время. Несмотря на простоту, игра обладает определенным шармом и вызывает азарт. Постоянно нужно быть начеку, чтобы не стать обедом для более крупного хищника. Графика в игре приятная, хоть и не отличается особой детализацией. Цветовая гамма яркая и сочная, что создает хорошее настроение. Звуковое сопровождение ненавязчивое и хорошо дополняет игровой процесс. В целом, "Fishy" - это отличная игра для тех, кто ищет что-то простое, увлекательное и не требующее много времени. Она подойдет как детям, так и взрослым, и гарантированно подарит несколько часов приятного времяпрепровождения. Рекомендую!
