Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are a four-person indie development team. To let everyone experience our game sooner and to receive community support and feedback earlier, we chose to launch in Early Access.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to remain in Early Access for one to two years. During this period, we aim to polish the core features and integrate the community’s feedback into the game.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Looking ahead, we plan to implement the following features:

A marine tank with a new visual style

An aquarium that allows for keeping large marine plants and animals

A paludarium, in which we can create a fully functioning ecosystem featuring both aquatic and terrestrial life

An ant farm—a complete ecosystem contained within an ant enclosure”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We will provide ample game content to support over 100 hours of play. You can collect no fewer than 20 species of fish and more than 10 types of plants from five wild-gathering locations, as well as various special facilities and over five different aquarium sizes.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“As the game’s development progresses, we will gradually increase its price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We welcome community feedback, ideas, and bug reports! You can reach us via QQ group, Discord, or the Steam forums—so don’t hesitate, and please be sure to get in touch!”
