I like "Papers please" so I like this. Will play it again after that comment, definitely one of the best from limitations perspective

Use of the limitation
The fish dating profiles that you encounter are randomized. Catfish accounts are also randomized in terms of what they are lying about. The game should be different pretty much every time you play it.

Like 2 whole cookies. How did you know this is where I derive my strength from??

A really clever game! I love its simplicity but fun-ness at the same time!

A Dream A DayFish, or fish?
No but seriously, this game is cool. The idea is something I don't think anyone would think of (and I'm not saying in a bad way). And, I mean, fishes! Or actually, Catfishes!

SomniphobiaOMG this happened to me once. I was talking to this girl on Tinder for a couple weeks, went to meet her out for drinks, and wouldn't you know it? She LIED about her preferred temperature in her bio!
Not to be prejudiced, but she was a Cutthroat Trout, so it probably wouldn't have worked out anyways.
In all seriousness, this is one of the most unique and playful ideas that I've seen here. If you described this game to me at a party, I wouldn't expect it to be fun BUT YOU MADE IT FUN. It scratches the same itch that paper please does, and the time pressure has you trying to memorize fish facts while furiously comparing notes. It's just awesome and the pictures, mechanics and music all work together to make a really wholesome and addictive experience. This is at the top of my list for sure, bravo.

TRNWILIANEDAMSBAFSRIAN!The games looks good and is the highlight of the game - from the actual spritework to the pallete.
The concept is really interesting, a bit tedious to me.
Overall charming
