VR Aquarium is an underwater simulator developed by Sorasu Software. Set against luscious backgrounds with apt mood music, various species of goldfish cluster around the viewer, and respond to touch and sound. Swimming with underwater creatures is a popular concept, and this game is a first-rate alternative to the similarly titled Aquarium VR.

Open-ended relaxation

While aquarium simulators generally appeal particularly to children, VR Aquarium has a distinctly grown-up feel: it aims to synthesise a relaxing and immersive gameplay experience. There is a selection of backgrounds to choose from, including BubbleDome, Sakura, and Fireworks, and the enthralling visual dynamic of the game is accompanied by traditional Japanese music.

VR Aquarium is a relaxing game which fully utilises VR technology without any frills. The simplicity of each background allows for focus on the hypnotic shoals of fish, which are highly responsive to the user’s presence. While its design is somewhat basic, there is enormous scope for the developers to build on what can already be considered a triumph.
