Did Anyone Else Play That Finding Nemo Game From 2003 – Or Was It Just A Fever Dream?

by

Reminds me, it feels like just yesterday – I was ill and missed school, which meant I had a whole day to enjoy on my dad’s computer. To be honest, I wasn’t exactly gaming – more like playing the early-2000s hit game adaptation: Finding Nemo.

Clownfish, childhood and shockingly short playtime: My return to Disney’s underwater world

Previously, I wasn’t certain whether the experience I had was real or a figment of my delirious imagination during a fever. However, some brief internet exploration not only uncovered the game’s official Steam page, but also an extensive walkthrough that I diligently watched from start to finish. This revelation came as quite a surprise: it turned out that the entire submarine journey lasted less than 58 minutes! I vividly remember spending days engrossed in this game before, likely never reaching the end. Oh well.

In essence, Finding Nemo as a video game is designed to be concise and suitable for younger players who might find themselves occupying the family computer for extended periods. Remarkably, the game maintains a well-organized structure despite its compact nature: following the abduction of Nemo, you’re given the flexibility to navigate between two narratives – Nemo in captivity within the dentist’s tank and Marlin exploring the vast ocean. The goal is to help Nemo plan his escape while Marlin and Dory search for a lost diving mask to locate Nemo. Throughout your adventure, you’ll encounter various mini-games and solve easy puzzles. Unsurprisingly, everything concludes happily with Nemo and Marlin being reunited, as one would expect in such a tale.

In the closing moments, things suddenly become quite dramatic: Dory finds herself ensnared in a fishing net and needs to be saved. Brace yourself for an emotional ride! After a rather uneventful side game, she’s freed once more – phew! A happy ending is secured. To be honest, apart from the encounter with Bruce the shark (which seemed much scarier 20 years ago), I can’t recall much else. As for its replay value? Let’s just say it doesn’t offer an unending experience.

If you’re up for another try, you can purchase Finding Nemo on Steam at a price of $9.99, though do keep in mind that it’s a 20-year-old game with a playtime of roughly an hour. Alternatively, you might choose to pass on it.
