The Aquarium does not dance Special Edition

Really breaks my heart to say I don't recommend this game... I just feel a bit disappointed after finishing it. While there are some really praiseworthy aspects there are others that left me dissatisfied or straight up annoyed. Starting off with the positives I think this game's visuals and soundtrack are GORGEOUS, For such a short game I really loved the wonderful artstyle and memorable tracks. Hearing about different fishes accompanied by a gorgeous piano gave a wonderfully cozy vibe. I especially enjoyed [spoiler] the train section and the koi pond with the fireworks [/spoiler]. As far as the horror goes I REALLY liked [spoiler] the anglerfish section. That was SO creative and cool [/spoiler]. A lot of other aspects saddened me though. I would've really appreciated portraits and voice acting for side characters, that would've made them more memorable to me.

Then somehow a jealous man envies the aquarium director's success and shoots him/his fiancee; in the meantime, a couple of sea creatures use a magic stone to transform into human-like creatures and trap other people in their world.[/spoiler] Hard to follow, right? I'm still not sure what the devs were trying to communicate with it aside from some yuri vibes in a weird world. It's not without its positive points though! I did enjoy how experimental it got and how it tried to play around with indie horror game tropes in a cute RPGMaker style 2D game. It had an excellent soundtrack and the VAs for the main characters in it did a great job. Overall, I could tell the d…
