About:

You're pretty sure that fish don't belong in a hospital. Much less floating around the ceiling of your room in the psych ward.

You were admitted into the psychiatric facility at your local hospital after some intense suicidal ideations. When you start hallucinating fish in your room, you delve into what got you here in the first place.

Your mind.

Arapaima is a short game about my experience in the psychiatric facility. The writing is a combination of my experience the first time I was there 4 years ago and the second time I was there this year. 

Featuring:

  • 1800+ words
  • 40+ original artworks
  • 6 Endings
  • Fish

I got Ending 4 & 5.

This is a very serious moving story and well-made. I'm sorry for you what you had to experience. Did anyone ever find out, why the hallucinations were fish and why especially these? I made a playthrough, and unluckily I pronounced the arapaimas wrong, because I've never heard of them before and I didn't know them. A very good game about mental issues. Stay fine and positive.
