The ultimate power fantasy of being a sardine
You play a sardine in a machine, surrounded by other sardines who want guidance. Talk to your fellow flounders, listen to what they believe, and decide whether to help them or lead them astray. They may return the favor. The whole thing hangs on one prophetic choice, UP or DOWN, and the game treats it with the gravity of a life's destiny and the absurdity of a fish flopping down a corridor. It is short, narrative-driven and built to be felt more than solved: thinking about it probably will not help. Live the fantasy. Flop around. Destiny is in the fold of your fin.
A wet, squalid world with a soundtrack
The setting is a machine full of sin and sardines, a place of fragrant mystery where the inhabitants find comfort in the whirs, bops and gentle slaps echoing through the halls. The atmosphere does a lot of the work: dark, damp, strange, with a sense that something enormous is being decided just out of sight. The game is also genuinely funny, in a dry, pitch-black way, which is exactly what a story about fish mortality needs.
