About the Game

You are a sardine in a machine, but is life that simple? This place imposes on you and your fellow fish a prophetic choice. Will you help them, or lead them astray? Will they do the same to you?

Do Fish Feel Pain?

HOW FISH IS MADE is a short narrative-driven experience about talking to fish and making choices. Live the ultimate power fantasy of being a sardine. Seek guidance from your fellow flounders. Ponder the vast sea of fishly existence. Flop around. Destiny is in the fold of your fin.

Salmon All Your Courage

Explore a wet and squalid world of sin and sardines. A place of fragrant mystery, the inhabitants of this place seek solace in the whirs, bops, and gentle slaps that echo through the halls. Though few can face the terrible choice all fish must make: UP or DOWN? But you’re no coward, are you?

A Musical Epic

Everyone needs a reprieve from the horrors of existence. Features the original song "Little Lily Swing" by Tri-Tachyon

Tired of Flopping? Try Rolling!

Featuring the fantastic free katamari-like DLC, The Last One and Then Another. Absorb fleshy bits and your fellow fish in the noble quest to BECOME MASSIVE. Featuring a very special appearance from MOUTHWASHING’s very own Captain Curly!

Feel Stuff!

The sardines look just like the real thing, so you can really believe they have emotions. Guaranteed!

WARNING! The game contains:

- TRYPOPHOBIA inducing imagery.

- Potentially disturbing subject matters.

- Just a pinch of cum
