Watch Out, This India Hero Project PS5 Game Wants to Make You Feel Emotions in April 1

Uh oh — Fishbowl has a release date on PS5, along with a new trailer that threatens to make players feel all sorts of ways.

Part of Sony's India Hero Project, the game is finally launching on 2nd April 2026. Check out the new trailer:

You play as a young woman who's going through a period of change — she's moved out of her family home and started a new, remote career in video editing, all following the death of a family member.

It's a slice-of-life adventure that combines all sorts of elements. The game looks to meld together visual novel storytelling, puzzles, and minigames as you navigate the main character's life.

There are definitely some potentially hard-hitting themes at play in this one.

Fortunately, you can see if it's something you're interested in checking out, as there's a free playable demo available right now.

Are you looking forward to playing Fishbowl? Tell us in the comments section below.

The comment section for this game's trailer on the PlayStation YouTube channel is absolutely atrocious

@Questionable_Duck They can't find India on a map. Half of them think it's set in America.

Would have been a great PS VITA game a decade ago

Fair game, not my thing. Like many games by other countries I think it's cool to see them, they just don't make gameplay type games I want to play. Also the emotion/dialogue/experience is very clear and just isn't for me.

Most cozy games are too 'general things people understand' and i just don't find that exciting. I don't need a game to simulate it or feel emotion or whatever. I already find games dumbing themselves down with movesets in bigger genres already boring. So to me packing things into boxes and wandering a house unless it has something interesting in it, or dialogue that goes on and on to just be very boring. I don't find the vibe or atmosphere or dialogue charm I find it very boring.

They feel like playing kids activity centers, not because games without consequences isn't possible it's just they don't offer anything that motivating at all.

I enjoy a game of Sims sure but at least there is enough to do there despite the structure being open ended and generic things to do, the motivation for skills or other stuff has enough gameplay appeal. Or tycoon games have their appeal and I mix up how I go about the theme park rides or classes if it's a school based one or whatever.

I prefer things to be more gameified and when they aren't, which games are simplifying things more and more I get bored and want to write off gaming more and more or stick to retro or the non generic Indies which even platformer/racing Indies are so bland and forgettable because they don't offer anything compelling in them, wow art and settings, boring level design, boring characters, worlds that look nice but are boring to play in, can't wait to not buy it.

I'm getting more into FMV games though, the odd UK or Chinese/South Korean ones because they have been very funny or very engaging, not in an immersive way, only a comedy or working out the choice paths, or whatever else they offer. So I'm making my way through some story based genres then I had in the past (well besides visual novels which again got into prior and still do from time to time when in the mood). But I still prefer puzzles or platforming, combat doesn't matter to me but can be there.

Enjoyed a Vietnam song that was remixed by an artist I like and it's catchy.

But music is probably where I've come across more of those artists from India and others then I have games or books and I don't watch TV shows/movies from there really. I should one day just haven't bothered to.

Point n clicks I struggle to stay interested in though.

More story telling cultural stuff is fine, but they just aren't my thing, but I respect them.

Does give off Vita/Switch sort of appeal though.
