Aquanaut's Holiday is a meditative deep-sea exploration game where you pilot a submarine through an alien ocean, discovering strange creatures and environments at your own pace. With no combat, death, or time pressure, the game invites you to wander freely and uncover secrets purely through curiosity. It's ideal for players seeking a calming, open-ended experience rather than challenge or progression.

About this game

This was the first art game I remember playing.

I was used to games with combat or death so at first I was terrified something bad would happen.

Eventually I realized there wasn't anything to be afraid of in this game.

This game became a comforting place for me. Sometimes I'd wander around and every time I'd find something interesting.

For a while when I played it I would go park my submarine in some place with interesting music and just work or chill listening to it.

This was one of the top games I wanted to see on steam. Imagine my surprise when days after launch absolutely no one has reviewed it.

It's like I loved a musician, learned they're playing live, bought a ticket, and then no one else showed up. I can't help but find it a little sad.

What I thought was an extremely famous game turned out to be a private garden just for me.

I'm okay with that reality but I encourage you to try visiting too, especially if you love games like LSD or Yume Nikki.

Devs if you are reading this, please consider adding the english from the original PS1 to this game.

The game is playable without it and I'm not sure it's financially viable to add it but it would make me really happy if you did.

I know this not really selling makes the release of the PS3 Aquanaut's Holiday unlikely but please consider releasing that too.

I never got to play that game and it's always been too expensive to buy so it would be nice if it were available.
