What occurs when you tie a weight to your ankles and hoy your self into the ocean? Let’s discover out! Wee free game Fishbones is a five-minute journey down, down, right down to the depths, providing 5 minutes to see what we are able to see within the sea earlier than the top of you and me. What we do see is an odd and sometimes surreal assortment of sealife, detritus, oddities, and, after all, fishbones. I’ve sunk to the underside 3 times, seeing various things every time, and I’m nonetheless interested by what else is likely to be down there.
Right so, right here we’re, weight chained to our ankles, and down we go. The weight takes care of motion for us, although we are able to flip ourselves and blink. All we are able to actually do within the 5 minutes we’re apparently in a position to maintain our breath is watch and pay attention.
Down we go, previous shoals of fish, previous jellyfish, previous wrecked vehicles, previous submarines, previous skeletal rays, previous sliced octopuses, previous fellow chained our bodies, previous… I believe I as soon as noticed mermaids? I’m not wholly positive what they had been. Not proper. They weren’t proper. Each descent pulls a brand new assortment of objects from a bigger pool, and I’ve nonetheless not seen every thing. I nonetheless don’t perceive fairly why completely different color filters come and go both. Or what, if something, the sounds signify. I’m cool with that.
What a pleasing digital dream that is. And not simply because I really like being within the sea a lot that I get tetchy if I’m on land longer than 4 days. I’ve typically stated I like brief games which ask for my consideration for a couple of minutes to allow them to present me one thing bizarre. This does that.
Fishbones is free to obtain on Itch.io. I imagine it’s made by Tom Victor, Lucie Viatge, Titouan Millet, Héloïse Lozano, Flex Roman, and Pol Clarissou of the Klondike collective, along with Aurore Fiorini. I believe? Those are the names I dug out the depths of that mystifying Itch web page, at the very least. They don’t make it straightforward.
