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. I also think this game shouldn't have been horror at all, the sections that weren't horror were super delightful but the parts that were feel way too short which leads to a world that flip flops between trying to be scary and forgetting that it's supposed to be scary. There were certain times where I'd go into a bloody stairwell or hallway and go "oh THIS is where its gonna get super scary!" only for it to not do that. I don't even understand where the horror comes into the plot, [spoiler] why are some creepies bloodthirsty monsters and others normal happy sea creatures? [/spoiler] which leads me to how the plot feels half baked and confusing. The premise is super bizarre and takes me out of the game a bit. [spoiler] Why did this normal shark save a person from drowning? How did this normal clione fall in love with a human? Why did Suze have the bijou? How did Kitty revive, I thought the bijou only granted one wish per person? Was that Suze's wish? How did Chrissy die to the anglerfish, I thought she had control over the aquarium world? [/spoiler] I think the puzzles need some work, most of them are boring and confusing to me. The first puzzle using japanese characters and allowing japanese for the answer feels especially misleading. I also REALLY don't like how the endings work and I had to play through the game three times to get the true ending. [spoiler] when youre given medicine to save retro and you see her bleeding on the ground i think its only natural to want to use it to save her and the only way to tell you shouldnt do that is through the item screen. what the heck? suze read out the label! why is there a second label?! so i replayed the game only to find out i was supposed to stop during the orca chase. how are you supposed to find that on your own? i wouldve never guessed to do that. [/spoiler] If you play this game save yourself some time and do NOT use the medicine you get right away and SAVE right as you enter the hospital. You will save hours of replaying. For all my complaints I will still check out the side stories. The positives this game offer are still great enough for me to keep going and I want to have faith I'll like it by the end. I will update this review if the side stories change my mind. If this somehow reaches the person who made the game please do not get disheartened reading this, you've created something wonderful that may just not have appealed to me in particular. I am still looking forward to your future works. Edit: they were a lot shorter than I expected lol but seeing as they were barely horror at all I want to double down and say I really don't think this author should pursuit horror because they clearly aren't very into it. I was kinda blown away at how pretty one of the rooms looked in the first new episode. It's weird... I feel very fondly towards this game even if I objectively didn't like a lot of it. If I had to sum up my thoughts on the game now that I'm fully done with it it'd be "something i wouldnt recommend but still enjoyed"? does that make any sense?

1인 제작,,, 알만툴 게임 레즈비언들이 다수 등장하는 게임 감동적인 이야기...

A Discord server friend recommended this game to me, so I gave it a shot. To be honest, this usually isn't my kind of game. There are definitely some issues with it. The story, although mostly clear by the end, tried to use a form of abstract presentation by scattering it about in notes and documents throughout the game. As far as I understand it, the premise is rather odd. [spoiler]Somehow, a great white shark saves a young girl from drowning, gets attacked by people, and then gets rescued at an aquarium? 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 developers wanted the players to take the game/story seriously. Some of the sections involving music and performances were really well done. A final note: If you like yuri, for sure, it's definitely in there. Retro was a cool character. There's even some hint of yaoi placed in it, but it's mostly at the end of the game and all rather wholesome. I'd cautiously recommend it, but it's definitely not the game of the year or anything. Just keep that in mind and you should be fine.

deepsea yuri excellence

Retro is so hot

[h1]值得一玩[/h1] 非常好游戏，第一次打开游戏时主页面的音乐让我感觉真的泡在鱼缸里，深邃又祥和的感觉。游戏内背景音乐和情节十分契合，有很多场景的美术设计也十分符合深海的元素。 恐怖的情节也比较友好，不会有过于惊悚猎奇的刺激性画面，心里恐怖可能才是被吓到的主要原因。 跟着流程一步步慢慢发掘真相，剧情脉络与人物关系也变得清晰，[spoiler]两对cp亲友()磕着是真不赖[/spoiler]，直到最后的结局出来，故事线脉络理清，结尾的演出配音一出与前后呼应的铺垫解开，真的令本人泪目与震撼。 游戏的五个结局以不同分支点的选择触发，每个结局后劲蛮大，且让人后背发凉又或引人深思，[spoiler]真结局蕾姐跟苏丝补药分离啊qwq[/spoiler] 总的来说，优秀的故事性，能够令玩家沉浸。美术是把我这个外行人哄得一愣一愣的，尤其是海底内的各种设施和场景是真的又呼应主题又好看，[spoiler]火车和咖啡馆那块是真把幸福和温馨这块补满了，蕾姐干的好啊[/spoiler]。角色性格鲜明，角色之间关系也描绘的真挚感人。其中的大多伏笔在最后的结局揭晓时：虽早有预感，但原来是这样的发展嘛？的感觉油然而生。玩家的心路历程也会跟着游戏剧情的深入而被渲染，到结局被深深感动。 通关后的两个额外故事聚焦于角色之间的互动，虽然不知道什么还要穿插点解密，但仍旧给我吃美了，cg的量好像比原版故事多，而且很精美，可以特别版说花的钱大部分都在这了。 [h2]以下为吐槽[/h2] 但是解密部分真的很草，很多解密不看攻略不知道，一看也不知道为什么答案是这个，玩起来要看攻略的了。[spoiler]TUNA到底是啥？[/spoiler] 有的地方的音效声量过于刺耳，建议游玩时将背景音乐与音效都调的低一点。 不同结局的分歧点不同，而且没有快进和比较省时省力的方法去收集结局，想要看全结局的基本得弄个好一阵。 [h3]个人感想[/h3] [spoiler]蕾忒罗太伟大了，两条命啊，都是给苏丝的ToT。补药死啊，要死也不要死在苏丝面前，没有一个结局存活着的含金量，包寿司难道是件很难的事吗。呜呜呜，活下去啊。苏丝sama[/spoiler] 第一次在接触是看直播的这款游戏，看完后给我的触动很深，再加上联动的打折补票购买，虽然直播看完了游戏流程，但自己打的时候还是很令我影响深刻。 当我知道这游戏的制作是顶着其余制作全部跑路的事情制作出来的，也就能原谅游戏流程的时长和不足了。也是期待橙橙的新作了。 [strike]这不会是个百合游戏吧？()[/strike]

[h1] 無料版と迷ってる方には是非ともフルボイス版をオススメしたい[/h1] 無料版は未プレイだけれど、貴重な初見をフルボイス版で体験できて本当に良かった。。。 そう思わせてくれる内容だった。 スーズの声色や口調が、シナリオ面でも萌え方面でもツボにガン刺さり。 この気だるげでナチュラルな喋り方かわいすぎるだろ。。

i love daidai please play her game it has soul we love supporting indie rpgmaker devs

sea yuri yayyyyyyyyyyyy

とてもいいストーリーでした。ぜひ全人類にプレイしてほしい。 Special Editionでなくても、まずは無料版からでもいいと思います。ただ、フルボイス、追加のスチル、キャラの瞬き、追加ストーリーなど、Special Editionをおすすめできる点もいっぱいあります。 無料版がよかったという方も、興味を持ってくれた方もぜひ、フルボイスで感動を味わってほしいです。 また、ホラーが苦手な方でもプレイできると思います。ただ、びっくりはすると思います。 謎解き要素はあまり難しくなく、とっつきやすいです。 ですが、不満点が１つだけあって、スチルがゲーム内から再度見ることができないということ。とってもいい１枚絵ですから、いつでも見れるようにしてほしいです。 ここまで読んでくださりありがとうございます。ネタバレを踏む前に、どうぞ水族館へ。
