Wholesome Direct 2025: Fishbowl

During the Wholesome Direct 2025, we got the news that Fishbowl, an upcoming coming-of-age story that unfolds in the span of an in-game month, is now being published by Wholesome Games!

Developed by imissmyfriends.studio, this slice-of-life puts players in the position of 21-year-old Alo, who is going through a difficult time. While living alone in a new city and working for the first time in her life, she's dealing with her grandmother's passing.

This emotional story will have players navigating Alo's mental health and wellness through a series of features, such as video calling her family, helping her take life one day at a time, and sorting through her grandmother's belongings to uncover childhood memories.

Fishbowl offers the following:

• An emotional story.
• A diverse cast of characters with branching conversations.
• A mini-game when editing videos for Alo's job.
• Puzzles to solve when unpacking the grandmother's belongings.
• Helping Alo with home and self-care (such as brushing her teeth and watering the plants).
• Hand-drawn pixel art.
• Lo-fi soundtrack.

Fishbowl doesn't have a release date yet, but it will be released for PlayStation 5 and Steam (which you can wishlist in already).
