"THE FISH IN YOU"

Sidonie Devienne, Chloe Couasnon, Ahmet Szelcsuk D

“THE FISH IN YOU” is a dialogue-based video game that challenges the misconceptions and prejudices surrounding fish. It gives players the opportunity to engage with an animal that appears mute through immersive dialogue options, uniting us with our underwater cousins.

Prejudice surrounding fish

This project embodies a digital dialogue-based game crafted to challenge prevailing misconceptions and prejudices surrounding fish. Among other vertebrae animals, fishes are the most alien to our sensibilities. They lack facial expressions, appear mute, and are therefore more easily dismissed than our fellow air breathers, which gives them their place in human culture: something to be caught and eaten. By endowing fish with agency and affording players the unique opportunity to engage in meaningful discourse with an animal that appears mute to us, the goal is to change people’s perspective on fish and make them realize they are worth protecting.
