About This Game

Aequorea is a world made of art. A place to slow down, look closely and feel something. Only art, the stories behind it, and the people who make it.

Explore paintings, photography, music, film and books, made by classic masters and by artists like you. Every work stands on equal ground. Read its story. Leave a comment. Leave a dream. Leave something of yourself for the next visitor to find.

[H2] THE GALLERY

A quiet, dark space where every piece is given room to breathe. Stand under the spotlight with Raphael, Monet and Klimt, then turn the corner to find an artist nobody has heard of yet. Listen to music, watch films and read the words each artist left behind.

[H2] FEARS

Surreal rooms built from the things we are afraid of. Some are loud and red. Some are quiet and impossible to leave. Walk into them and see what they feel like from the inside.

[H2] THE WHITE CASTLE

A tower where every floor is a different story. Climb the stairs, open the door, and step into a world that is not your own.

[H2] DREAMS

A black void filled with hundreds of glowing notes. Write down your dreams and float among the ones left by visitors from all over the world.

[H2] YOUR ART ROOM

Your own space. Hang your work, arrange it, set the light and the mood, then open the doors so others can visit.

[H2] TOGETHER

Explore with friends in online co-op. Everything you share, from comments to dreams to your room, stays part of Aequorea for everyone who comes after you.

Aequorea is made by Verek, an independent artist and developer, as a place for art to be felt instead of scrolled past.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Aequorea is made by a solo developer. To build the world at this stage, some 3D models were created with the help of AI tools, and some voice content was generated with AI.

All artwork displayed in the gallery is made by human artists: classic masters and the artists who share their work on Aequorea. No AI-generated art is presented as an artist's work.

The AI-assisted models and voices are placeholders. They will be replaced with work made by human artists over time, as the project grows.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Aequorea explores difficult emotional themes through art and interactive spaces, including depression, fear, illness and loneliness. Some rooms are dark and intentionally unsettling, but there is no gore and no realistic violence.

The gallery displays classic paintings, some of which contain artistic nudity, as found in any art museum.

In one interactive story, players can remove creatures from a small simulated ecosystem. This is stylized and non-graphic.

Aequorea includes user-generated content (artwork, comments, written dreams) and online text chat with other players. Shared artist rooms are reviewed before they are published.
