A massive ocean world, teeming with life and filled with ancient secrets. Join Naija, a lone underwater dweller in search of her family, as she explores the depths of Aquaria. She'll travel from hidden caves, shrouded in darkness, to beautiful, sunlit oases, all lovingly handcrafted by its two creators. Naija's story, narrated fully with voice overs, will become yours, as you join her on this magnificent adventure.
The world of Aquaria hides the secrets of creation within its depths. The currents that buffet the many diverse plants and animals that live there also carry with them stories of long lost civilizations; of love and war, change and loss. From lush, green kelp forests to dark caves, exploring will be no easy task. But the splendor of the undersea world awaits Naija... and you. Open Waters CRYSTALLINE BLUE The glassy waters of the open sea let you peer far into the distance, and fish and other creatures play beneath the wide canopies of giant, undersea mushrooms. Here, ruins serve as a clue to Aquaria's long past. Will they lead Naija to the truth? The Kelp Forest THE NATURAL WORLD The kelp forest teems with life. As light from above pours across the multitudes of strange plants and animals that live here, one cannot help but marvel at the dynamic landscape. But beware, its beauty belies the inherent danger inside. Careful not to lose your way. The Abyss DARKNESS As you swim deeper, to where sight cannot reach, the Abyss begins to swallow you whole. The deeper waters of Aquaria have spawned legends of frightening monstrosities that lurk where few things can survive. Are they true? Beyond ??? What lies beyond? Are there areas deeper than the Abyss? Or as we swim ever upward, can we find the source of the light? Only those with great fortitude will come to know and understand the mysteries of Aquaria.

Combat centers on melee weapons, bows, traps, and dodging, with enemy patterns that reward careful observation.
