Barely Breathing is the most fun I've had as a parkouring fish in a long time

I always thought that the most stressful moment from Finding Nemo was the part where Gill and co executed their plan to escape from the dentist's office—it was probably too much suspense for a three-year-old to handle in truth. Well I'm in luck because now I get to relive that childhood stressor all over again with Barely Breathing.

On the surface, Barely Breathing sounds like a horror game, and yes, it may bring back some stressful memories from my childhood but it's really a very fun and charming 3D platformer. You play as a little fish with big dreams: reaching the ocean. But to get there you need to parkour your way around an apartment, tipping over glasses, swimming up storm drains, all while using the seemingly infinite pots of water scattered around the house.
