About The Entry

Golden Fish is a VR game developed using Unity, with an experience duration of 15-20 minutes. The game tells the story of a goldfish's journey of self-discovery. The goldfish has forgotten who it is, so its consciousness begins to travel through various objects in the room, transforming into plant, wind chime, camera, and more. Each unique perspective offers different visual styles and interaction mechanics. As the player moves through these transformations, their understanding of themselves deepens, while also uncovering the story of the room’s owner, who spent a lifetime searching for his own identity.
