An absolutely amazing, beautiful game that I fell in love with the second I played it. The story, the characters, the gorgeous music, and the art-- it all brings so much joy and wonder to the experience of playing this game. Getting to enjoy the game as it's grown in popularity in Japan, to see it gain more and more attention, more collaborations, and even a Switch version soon makes me happy beyond compare! Daidai-sensei's hard work does not go unnoticed, and knowing that they don't even like horror games but made one so interesting and compelling shows true skill!! I've never been more grateful to have found akuodo when I did, and to support Daidai-sensei along the way as this masterpiece gains more and more acknowledgement it totally deserves. It's still only in Asian translations, but given just how big it's grown, I am eagerly awaiting for when the English translation will come and I get to share this lovely game with my friends who don't know Japanese like I do. (Heck, if it doesn't within this year, I'll happily offer myself to help translate it for free!)

A very fun aquatic life knowledge science game, play to the end of the game in thinking that the meaning of this game is to promote the protection of marine life, right. The plot is very conventional, the protagonist in search of friends and embarked on an adventure story. I have to say that the aquarium is quite big and can actually accommodate other worlds. Along the way, he meets many inhabitants, all of whom are very interesting: a dolphin lady who wants to be an idol, a generator eel who can only wake up by the sound of a horn, and a hermit crab who helps you along the way. And! You can also enjoy penguin jazz! It's so cool! The game mechanics are friendly, the battles are not too difficult, and there are plenty of archive points and stalls. The graphics are also very nice, so I recommend it.

I think this game was amazing. It was the first time that I had been so emotionally moved by a game. I almost cried during multiple scenes in the game, which is something I never do. I recommend it to anyone who wants a short, well made game.
