KEY FEATURES

CREATE YOU DREAM AQUARIUM




An Aquarium is a glimpse into the vast depths of the sea and the creatures that call it their home.

Customize every aspect of your underwater paradise, from the size and layout to the decorations and inhabitants. Create an aquarium in which each fish will want to live. Thanks to the variety of objects in the game, you can implement even the craziest ideas! A green, blooming oasis or raw, antique busts? The choice is yours. YOU CAN EVEN USE YOUR PHOTOGRAPH AS A BACKGROUND OF AQUARIUM!

SET UP YOUR SHOP




Aquarium fish make us realize how beautiful silence is.

Running an aquarium shop is a real challenge! Clients will entrust you with difficult tasks you have to cope with. In return, a reward awaits you. Intended for business development - buying new fish, exotic plants, and a store.

CARE FOR MARINE LIFE




Aquarists are conservationists, ecologists, biologists, and pool cleaners all in one.

We provide you with many species of fish both freshwater and saltwater species. Nurture a wide variety of exotic fish, vibrant corals, and other sea creatures, ensuring their health and happiness.
In addition to keeping typical goldfish, you will also deal with exotic species such as octopuses, shrimps, various species of sharks, cuttlefish, arapaima, rays, manta rays, glo fish, and many more fascinating aquatic animals.

DIVERSIFIED GAMEPLAY




Walking into the aquarium is like exploring a different world.

Explore the Ocean: Embark on exciting expeditions to discover new species, hidden treasures, and mysterious underwater landscapes.
Carry out crazy projects commissioned by clients from all over the world. A huge aquarium with turtles in an art museum? An aquarium in a bar on a desert island? A tank with piranhas as an element of kitchen decor? Searching for underwater treasures and fish? Uncovering the mystery of a sunken pyramid in search of a lost species? These are just some of the orders you will receive during the game.

MAKE PEOPLE ADMIRE YOU




OK, just one more aquarium ... then I swear I'll stop. I promise.

Engaging Quests: Undertake challenging quests and missions to unlock rare species, advanced equipment, and valuable resources. Develop your aquarium empire by purchasing and arranging new locations. In addition to the store, you will also find an aquarium exhibition, a large oceanarium, and even an aquatic museum.

The game offers us enormous possibilities. Just to name a few, a huge aquarium, a museum, underwater levels, crazy side quests for clients and taking care of various cool animal species. What can you do out there? You can arrange them in your style, build necessary elements, clean up, repair things, create aquariums, and attract customers to earn as much as possible at the end of the day. Of course, it is still a game in which you can create your dream aquarium however you want.

Good Game with a lot of potential

You must keep in mind, that the game still is in development. The game works nearly perfect, I did not find any bugs yet. Of course not everything is ready. You have only two types of aquariums and one type of lamp. On the other side there are nearly 50 different corals already. So hopefully the complexity of the game will increase with further updates. If you have some experiance with real aquariums, you will find it very easy to keep your shops running and everyone alive. For me the grafic is beautiful and I enjoyed my first hours of playing very much.

Best in the field so far

Game has story mode with no particular name, its not just about a fishtank the tank is a feature in your home and can change locations based on story mode progresss. There are some limitations like not being able to combine subtrates or zoom right in or control fish and explore the tank. Few fish including bristlenose tetra and guppy. More fish and food options, decorations ect would be improvements to make and would be interesting if done similar to garden simulator in that unlocks via progress. some mobile apps do this to. The perspective mentioned can be seen in tavern master and dungeon master.

weird angles

if youre actually building a tank you can look from the top and you can squat to see the front and stuff. just weird as hell to decorate a tank from a standing angle.
