Our take on Fish Story
Rather than using a conventional land-based adventure setting, the game places its mystery beneath tropical waters. Dodging hazards, watching hunger, collecting jewels, and confronting a possibly misunderstood boss replace a more standard combat-led progression.
What is Fish Story?
Fish Story is an underwater adventure set in a tropical environment where bright lights appear above a lagoon and objects begin falling from the sky.
Players control a nimble fish while avoiding these falling objects, monitoring hunger, and searching the seabed for jewels. The journey moves through several underwater locations and follows a mystery involving the strange lights. A final boss encounter forms part of the story, though the creature’s motives may not be straightforward. The game includes music, achievements, and a narrative structure intended for family play.
How Fish Story plays
- 01Underwater exploration
- The fish travels through multiple aquatic settings while following the mystery of the lights.
- 02Hunger management

- 03Falling-object dodging

- 04Seabed jewel hunting
- Jewels can be found on the ocean floor during exploration.
- 05Final boss encounter
- The story builds toward a meeting with a boss whose role may not be purely villainous.
